Abstract
The invention relates to a roll stand (1) with a number of rollers (2, 3) and with an incoming guide (4) and/or an outgoing guide (5) which is/are fixed on the roll stand (1) before or after the rolling gap (6) in the rolling direction (W), respectively, and which is/are adjustably arranged in the direction perpendicular to the axis (7) of the rollers (2, 3) and perpendicular to the rolling direction (W), particularly in the vertical direction (V). To minimize damage in case of an accident, the invention provides for a predetermined breaking point (9) in the fixing means which fixes the incoming guide (4) and/or the outgoing guide (5) on the roll stand (1).
Claims20
A roll stand comprising
- a plurality of rolls;
- an intake guide and/or an output guide that is or are attached to the roll stand in the rolling direction upstream of or downstream of the rolling gap, and that is or are adjustable in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rolls and perpendicular to the rolling direction;
- and
- fasteners attaching the intake guide and/or the output guide to the roll stand have a predetermined breaking point.
A roll stand comprising:
- a frame;
- a pair of vertically spaced working rolls mounted on the frame and defining a nip;
- a generally horizontal guide plate upstream or downstream of the nip;
- a support vertically shiftable on the frame and carrying the guide plate in a position to guide a workpiece moving in a horizontal travel direction through the nip;
- fasteners securing the support and guide plate to the frame, the fasteners having break points of such a strength that, in the event of a collision of the workpiece with the guide plate, the fasteners break at their break points before the plate, support, or frame are damaged.
