The invention relates to a roll stand (1) for a continuous unrolling of several rolls (8, 8′) of reeled, web-like material, which are unrolled consecutively after each other in the roll stand, and which rolls are arranged to be changed by roll changing from an almost depleted roll (8) to a new, full roll (8) in said roll stand, which roll stand comprises a machine stand (2) with two gable sides (3, 4), which are arranged aloof from each other, a horizontally arranged hub girder (9) which is rotatably journalled at the gable sides and around which hub girder the rolls are arranged to be pivoted between an inlet side (6), to which new, full rolls (8) are delivered, and an outlet side (7) from which the web-like material is unrolled, at least two roll holders (10, 10′) which are arranged at the hub girder for handling of each roll and which roll holders each comprises two roll holding arms (11) which are mounted linearly displaceable laterally along one or several, axially along the hub girder and rigidity mounted tracks (12) and of which roll holding arms each is provided with a gripper (13) for seizure of a roll. According to the invention the roll stand also comprises a positioning arrangement (20) for an adjustment of the position of each roll holder (10, 10′) laterally along the hub girder (9) and for a mutual adjustment of each of the roll holding arms in each such roll holder after the width of the current roll in the roll holder, an adjustment device (21) at each roll holding arm for releasing of the grippers from a depleted roll and then for re-gripping of a new full roll in connection with roll changing and for a lateral precision adjustment of the position of one roll in relation to another roll and/or for a positioning of the material web to a desired web direction during the present unrolling.
A roll stand (1) for a continuous unrolling of several rolls (8, 8′) of reeled, web-like material, which are unrolled consecutively after each other in the roll stand, and which rolls (8, 8′) are arranged to be changed by roll changing from an almost depleted roll (8′) to a new, full roll (8) in said roll stand (1), which roll stand (1) comprises a machine stand (2) with two gable sides (3, 4), which are arranged aloof from each other, a horizontally arranged hub girder (9) which is rotatably journalled at the gable sides (3, 4) and around which hub girder (9) the rolls (8) are arranged to be pivoted between an inlet side(6), to which new, full rolls (8) are delivered, and an outlet side (7) from which the web-like material is unrolled, at least two roll holders (10, 10′) which are arranged at the hub girder (9) for handling of each roll (8, 8′) and which roll holders (10, 10′) each comprises two roll holding arms (11) which are mounted linearly displaceable laterally along one or several, axially along the hub girder (9) and rigidly mounted tracks (12) and of which roll holding arms (11) each is provided with a gripper (13) for seizure of a roll (8), characterised in that the roll stand (1) also comprises a positioning arrangement (20) for an adjustment of the position of each roll holder (10, 10′) laterally along the hub girder (9) and for a mutual adjustment of each of the roll holding arms (11) in each such roll holder (10, 10′) after the width of the current roll in the roll holder (10, 10′), an adjustment device (21) at each roll holding arm (11) for releasing of the grippers (13) from a depleted roll (8′) and then for re-gripping of a new full roll (8) in connection with roll changing and for a lateral precision adjustment of the position of one roll (8, 8′) in relation to another roll (8, 8′) and/or for a positioning of the material web to a desired web direction during the present unrolling.
A roll stand (1) according to any of the preceding claims, characterised in that a motor (16) is arranged at each roll holding arm (10) for driving of the roll (8) from standstill to the same peripheral velocity as the currant web velocity of the material web that is being unrolled.
A roll stand (1). according to any of the preceding claims, characterised in that a brake device (17) of a conventional type is arranged at least at one roll holding arm (10) for adjusting of the web tension and speed of the web being unrolled.
A roll stand (1) according to any of the preceding claims, characterised in that the roll stand (1) comprises more than two roll holders (10), which are mounted at the hub girder (9) on a preferably mutual distance that is determined by the number of associated roll holders (10) around the hub girder (9).
