Systems and methods directed to rolling mill coilers are disclosed. Systems and methods are disclosed for a control scheme to maintain a constant force between a roll and a coil's surface. Example systems and methods may include forming a portion of a coil, capturing a first coil data corresponding to force of the coil while the strip of metal is being rolled into the coil, capturing second coil data corresponding to position of the coil while the strip of metal is being rolled into the coil, determining a signal that corresponds to a roll force of the roll and a position of the protrusion, and transmitting the signal to a hydraulic cylinder coupled to the roll, the hydraulic cylinder causing the roll to exert the roll force counter to the radial force of the coil.

Provided are methods that can prevent either or both of kinking and collapsing of a steel sheet coiled in coil form regardless of the characteristics of the steel sheet. A method of determining a tension pattern of tension applied to a steel sheet to coil the steel sheet in coil form comprises calculating the tension pattern using an apparent elastic modulus in a radial direction of a coil.

A winding module and a winding installation including winding modules for winding metal wire. In such a winding installation or take-up bench a driven capstan is used to pull the metal wire through a processing installation before being led onto a take-up spool. The spool is driven by a cantilever supported shaft. In prior art take-up benches, both the capstan and the spool is reachable by an operator from the same side. This means that the capstan direction—the direction from the driven side of the capstan to the operator side—is equal to the shaft direction—the direction from the drive side of the shaft to the open end of the shaft. In the inventive winding module the capstan direction is opposite to the shaft direction, which provides a completely different operation of the winding module and the winding installation and facilitates the introduction of doffing robots.

The invention has as its object a method for packing a welding wire (25) inside a container (40) which includes at least the following steps:

a feeding phase of said welding wire (25) inside a tube (13) placed in rotation to produce a prefixed torsion at each wire loop (25);

a winding phase of the wire (25) coming out of said tube in rotation (13) on a core (20) configured to wind said wire (25) on it, said core (20) being provided with an alternative movement in a substantially vertical direction;

a wire cutting phase (25) at the end of said wire winding phase on the core to (20) and;

a core pick-up phase with the wire (25) wound on it and a core introduction phase (20) with the wire (25) wound on it inside a container (40).

Automated height control and coil formation in wire rod mills are described within, where improvements in vision systems and smart sensors are leveraged to enable real-time control of both coil formation and coil height, without the need for secondary inspection and operator input from the pulpit.

Adopted are a hot-rolled steel sheet having a predetermined chemical composition, in which a region, where a rotation angle between a normal line of a surface and a (011) pole near the normal line becomes 5° or less, is 0.150 or less from the surface in terms of a sheet thickness direction position standardized by a sheet thickness, and a region, where the rotation angle becomes 20° or more, is 0.250 or more from the surface in terms of the sheet thickness direction position standardized by the sheet thickness and a manufacturing method thereof.

An apparatus for winding coils onto a spherical body includes a frame, a feeder spool, a first hemispherical bobbin, a second hemispherical bobbin, a first spring-loaded pin, a second spring-loaded pin, and a motor arrangement. The feeder spool is rotationally mounted on the frame, has first and second wires wound thereon, and is configured to rotate about a first rotational axis. The first and second hemispherical bobbins are rotationally mounted on the frame and configured to rotate about a second rotational axis that is parallel to the first rotational axis. The bobbins are spaced apart from each other to define a wire-feeder gap through which the first and second wires may be fed. The motor arrangement is coupled to the first and second hemispherical bobbins and is configured to cause the first and second hemispherical bobbins to rotate in opposite directions about the second rotational axis.

An overlapping and progressive forming method for a high-performance multi-element NiAl-based alloy tubular part, including: winding continuously flexible substrates of Ni and Al, and alloying coating continuously or selectively along a width direction or a rolling direction to obtain coated flexible substrates; winding continuously the coated flexible substrates on an outer surface of a core roller according to a sequence of Ni above and Al below to form a Ni/Al laminated structure having a plurality of layers with an outermost layer being a Ni layer, and consolidating with ultrasonic with assistance of a pulse current to combine the continuously wound flexible substrates into a laminated tube blank; and placing the laminated tube blank into a mold, applying a pulse current to both ends of the laminated tube blank for hot fluid high-pressure forming, and synthesizing in-situ to prepare the tubular part with assistance of the pulse current.

A wire winding device includes a lock jig including a pair of tip end portions configured to approach each other or separate from each other. A control portion of the wire winding device is configured to execute: a step of winding a wire onto a winding drum; and a step of making the lock jig sandwich a pulled-out part of the wire, inserting the lock jig into a clip, and opening the tip end portions of the lock jig against biasing force of the clip to open the clip.
