US 2016/0101450 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE RAPID DELIVERY OF HEAVY PLATES FROM A ROLLING MILL

Abstract

A method and device for rapid discharging of metallic plates (21, 22) particularly thick plates, from a rolling mill, to enable secure discharge of relatively short plates (21, 22) from the rolling mill at high velocity and low cycle times by transporting a first plate (21) on a roller bed (9, 13) in the transport direction (T), and preferably the first plate (21) is accelerated in the transport direction (T); depositing the first plate (21) on the roller bed (9, 13); transporting a second plate (22) on the roller bed (9, 13) in the transport direction (T); depositing the second plate (22) in the transport direction before the first plate (21) on the roller bed (9, 13); and discharging the first and the second plates (21, 22) from the roller bed (9, 13) onto a storage (24), wherein the discharging occurs crosswise to the transport direction (T).

Dependent claims

A method for the delivery of metallic plates from a rolling mill, comprising the method steps:

transporting a first plate on a roller table in a direction of transport, and accelerating the first plate in the direction of transport;
and
storing the first plate on the roller table after the acceleration thereof;
then transporting a second plate on the roller table in the direction of transport;
and
storing the second plate in the direction of transport in front of the first plate such that the second plate does not move past the first plate on the roller table;
and
concurrently delivering the first and the second plates from the roller table into a storage location.
