A method of tilting rolled sections, for example billets, about their longitudinal axes into an on-edge position or diamond pass position. The method utilizes a device which includes a frame that is moveable transversely of a roller conveyor for transporting the billets, and a roller head with pivoting drive equipped with clamping rollers for clamping a billet and pivotable about an axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the billet, wherein the roller head grasps the billet during the longitudinal conveyance thereof and tilts the billet by a predetermined angle before the billet enters a following station, and wherein the roller head lifts the billet guided between the clamping rollers during the tilting procedure above the conveying plane of the roller conveyor.
A method tilting a rolled section about a longitudinal axis thereof, the method comprising using a device including a frame mounted so as to be moveable transversely of a roller conveyor conveying the rolled section, the roller conveyor having a conveying plane, and a roller head equipped with clamping rollers for clamping the rolled section, and a pivot drive for pivoting the roller head about an axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rolled section, wherein the rolled section is grasped during the longitudinal conveyance thereof and is tilted by a predetermined angle before entering a subsequent station, further comprising lifting the rolled section guided between the clamping rollers of the roller head during the tilting procedure above the conveying plane of the roller conveyor by means of a swing lever acting on the roller head.
A device for tilting a rolled section about a longitudinal axis thereof, the device comprising a frame including means for displacing the frame transversely of a roller conveyor for conveying the rolled section, the frame comprising a roller head equipped with first and second clamping rollers for clamping the rolled section and with a pivoting drive for pivoting the roller head about an axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rolled section, further comprising a first hydraulic unit for tensioning and untensioning the first clamping roller, wherein the first hydraulic unit is mounted on the roller head, wherein the roller head is mounted on a swing lever raisable and lowerable by means of a second hydraulic unit, wherein the swing lever has a vertical position adjustable relative to the conveying plane of the roller conveyor, further comprising a ring guide means with guide rollers for guiding the roller head.
