Cold rolling facility and cold rolling method

A cold rolling facility comprising:

• a heater configured to heat sequentially-transferred steel sheets;
• a tandem mill including a plurality of roiling mills aligned In a transfer direction of the steel sheets and configured to sequentially cold-roll the heated steel sheets;
• a meandering-amount measuring unit including a sheet width meter, configured to measure a meandering amount of each of the steel sheets before being heated by the heater, by detecting both of the edge portions of the steel strip, calculating a center position of the steel strip in the sheet width direction based on both of the edge portions of the steel strip, and calculating the difference between the center position of the steel strip and a center of a transfer passage of the steel strip;
• a meandering-movement correction device including:
• a plurality of bridle rolls arranged along the transfer direction of the steel sheets such that a wrapping angle of the steel sheets is equal to or larger than a predetermined angle;
• and a tilting mechanism configured to tilt a roll center axis of each bridle roll with respect to a horizontal direction, the meandering-moving correction device being configured to correct meandering movement of the steel sheet before being heated;
• a shape measuring unit including a plurality of sensors arranged on a peripheral surface of a roll body, the shape measuring unit being configured to measure the shape of the steel sheet after being cold-rolled by the rolling mill located on an uppermost stream side in the tandem mill;
• and
• shape controller including an actuator that imparts deflection or inclination to a work roll, the shape controller being configured to the shape of the steel sheet after being cold-rolled by the rolling mill located on the uppermost stream side.
