Reengineering of the Slab-Centering Unit of a Roughing Mill Stand

Аннотация

To enhance the operational reliability and maintainability of the manipulator for centering of a slab and measurement of its width in roughing mill stands, it is proposed to replace the electromechanical drive with a hydraulic one. The hydraulic circuit and design of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder with a pressure sensor are described. The sensor allows determining the position of the manipulator at any time and comparing the distance between the manipulators to the theoretical width of the slab.
