Claims17
A rolling mill edger comprising:
- a pair of edger work rolls located and configured to edge a feed stock fed past the work rolls;
- a feed roll assembly comprising one or more driven feed rolls located and configured to feed the feed stock to be edged between the edger work rolls;
- a drive configured for driving the feed rolls, the drive having an input shaft connectable to a motor;
- and
- a moveable mount comprising a pivot on which the feed roll assembly is mounted and the mount is configured so that the feed roll assembly is movable between an operative feed stock feeding position in the edger where at least one of the driven feed rolls is positioned between entry into and exit from the edger work rolls and can be operated with the drive to transport the feedstock, and a roll change position in the edger,
- wherein the roll change position of the feed roll assembly is configured to provide better access to the work rolls in the edger than when the feed roll assembly is in the operative position, and
- wherein the moveable mount is pivotable about the pivot, and the pivot comprises the input shaft of the drive.
