  • metal strip in particular of hot strip, the problem may arise in a rolling train that the band foot breaks laterally. So there may be the problem that the actually desired, central course of the tape and thus a trouble for the rolling operation of the rolling device is not ensured.
  • the lateral breaking of the band in the horizontal direction can be caused by various physical dependencies.

  • Roll stand is arranged.
  • the nip of the upstream rolling mill can be opened in whole or in part.
  • This procedure has the disadvantage that it has a direct influence on the rolling process as such. In particular, reducing the tension leads to a strong rolling of the strip in the rolling stand.
  • the opening of the upstream rolling mill even has the consequence that the rolling process actually effected in this upstream rolling stand is completely or partially omitted.
  • segmented tension measuring rollers are arranged in front of or behind the rolling stand, that is to say loop lifters, by means of which the tension over the belt width can be detected.

  • the minimum force is at least as large as the Balancierkraft the upper roller assembly. It is according to the invention in Ab- dependence of parameters of the belt and / or operating parameters of the rolling device determined.
  • the object is achieved programmatically by a computer program comprising machine code, the execution of which by a control device for a rolling stand causes the rolling stand to be operated according to such a rolling method.
  • the object is further achieved by a data carrier on which such a computer program is stored in machine-readable form.
  • control device for a rolling mill in which such a
  • Computer program is stored, which is executable by the controller.
  • the belt is clamped between the belt frame and a roll-up upstream retention element.
  • the retaining element may in turn also be a rolling stand.
  • the switching point is seen in the rolling direction in front of the rolling stand.
  • the switching point can be seen in the rolling direction between the rolling stand and the retaining element or lie in front of the retaining element.
  • the changeover point is fixed.
  • the changeover point is determined as a function of parameters of the belt and / or operating parameters of the rolling device.

  • a functional profile of parameters of the strip and / or operating parameters of the rolling device is detected transversely to the rolling direction and, depending on the detected functional profile, a distribution of the bending force on the drive side and the operator-side sub-device is determined. In this case, an asymmetrical distribution of the bending force on the two partial adjustment devices may result.

  • the roller assemblies 2, 3 are acted upon by a bending force F.
  • the adjusting device 5 spreads the roller assemblies 2, 3 or compresses them together.
  • the rolling device furthermore has a control device 6.

  • step Sil substantially corresponds to the step S3.
  • step S3 the bending force F is no longer determined in step S, but only retained. From step S, the controller 6 returns to step S9.

Abstract

Cette bande (4) présente une tête de bande (10) et un pied de bande (11). Elle est, en commençant par la tête de bande (10), laminée dans une cage de laminage (1) d'un laminoir entre un ensemble de cylindre supérieur (2) et un ensemble de cylindre inférieur (3) de la cage de laminage (1). On surveille l'atteinte par le pied de bande (11) d'un point de commutation (12) situé avant la cage de laminage (1), considéré dans la direction de laminage (x). A partir de l'instant où le pied de bande (11) atteint le point de commutation (12), les ensembles de cylindres (2, 3) sont, par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif d'asservissement (5), sollicités avec une force latérale (F) écartant les ensembles de cylindres (2, 3) qui est au moins égale à une force minimale. La force minimale est au moins égale à une force d'équilibrage de l'ensemble de cylindre supérieur (2). Elle est déterminée en fonction de paramètres de la bande (4) et/ou de paramètres de fonctionnement du laminoir.
