Skew rolling mill roll changing gear - with rails for sliding cooling channel, roll changing car and covering cowl

摘要

The tapered rolls of a skew rolling mill are exchanged with the help of a roll changing car. A cooling channel is first traversed sideways and the roll changing car with the roll clamping gear is moved on the same rails in its place and lined up with the skew rolling mill. The cowl which covers the skew rolling mill at work is finally moved out of the way on rails at right angles to the roll changing car rails. This makes the roll changing a less time consuming operation and saves having to apply separate extraneous means.
