Abstract
An upsetting press for reducing the width of rolled material, particularly for reducing the width of slabs in hot wide strip breaking-down trains. The upsetting press includes tool support members arranged on both sides of the slab. The tool support members support pressing tools which face toward each other. For providing a reduction drive, each pressing tool with the corresponding tool support member can be moved essentially in the direction of reduction by at least one rod system actuated by a crank drive. The crank drive is mounted on a crank housing. At one feeding drive acts on the tool support member essentially in the slab feeding direction.

In an upsetting press for reducing the width of rolled material, particularly for reducing the width of slabs in hot wide strip breaking-down trains, the upsetting press including tool support members arranged on both sides of the slab, the tool support members supporting pressing tools which face toward each other, the improvement comprising a reduction drive means on each side of the slab, the reduction drive means comprising a rod system with two parallel rods of equal length and a crank drive for each of the two parallel rods of the rod system, the rod system being capable of moving the pressing tool including the tool support member essentially in direction of slab reduction, the crank drives having equal crank radii and equal crank angles and being arranged on a crank housing, and at least one feeding drive connected to the tool support member for acting essentially in slab feeding direction.
