Full Text Description
Operating method for a reversing rolling mill
The present invention relates to an operating method for a
reversing rolling mill that has at least one reversing stand
for rolling a rolling material, two roller tables, arranged on
both sides of the reversing stand, for conveying the rolling
material, and a control device for controlling the reversing
rolling mill,
the roller tables respectively having a number of roller
table areas of which each has at least one conveyor
roller,
it being possible to drive the conveyor rollers of each
roller table area independently of the conveyor rollers of
the other roller table area,
the rolling material being conveyed in such a way that a
fore end of the rolling material is conveyed at an entry
speed, and a rear end of the rolling material is conveyed
at an exit speed.
Furthermore, the present invention relates to a data medium
having a computer program, stored on the data medium, for
carrying out such an operating method when the computer program
is executed by a control device for a reversing rolling mill.
The present invention also relates to a control device for a
reversing rolling mill which is designed, in particular
programmed, in such a way that the reversing rolling mill can
be driven by it in accordance with such an operating method.
The present invention further relates to a reversing rolling
mill and to a rolling material produced in accordance with the
inventive operating method.
Operating methods, data media, control devices, reversing
rolling mills and rolling materials of the type mentioned at
the beginning are generally known.

In so-called continuous trains rolling material - in particular
strip-shaped - is always conveyed in the same direction on its
roller tables. As a rule, even the conveying speed at which the
rolling material is transported is at least substantially
constant. It is therefore possible in a relatively simple way
to drive the roller tables in such a way that the
circumferential speeds of the conveyor rollers correspond to
the conveying speed of the rolling material.
In reversing stands, by contrast, the rolling material
traverses one and the same rolling stand several times
consecutively, the rolling direction alternating in each case.
The rolling material must therefore always be repeatedly
accelerated and braked. For the same reason, it is also
necessary for the conveyor rollers to be repeatedly accelerated
and braked. Nevertheless, the circumferential speeds of the
conveyor rollers should as far as possible correspond to the
conveying speed of the rolling material. The point is that
relative movements between rolling material and conveyor
rollers impair the quality of the rolling material surface, and
furthermore load the drives of the conveyor rollers.
In order to ensure the synchronous running of the conveyor
rollers of the roller table areas and of the rolling material,
it is known in the prior art for the conveyor rollers or all
roller table areas that can come into contact with the rolling
material to be accelerated and braked with the rolling
material. This results in processes of acceleration and braking
that, firstly, are partly not even necessary and therefore load
the drives unnecessarily and, secondly, can above all occur
simultaneously and therefore lead to undesired network
feedback. Unnecessary energy is, furthermore, frequently
consumed.
In order to avoid the abovenamed disadvantages, it is,
furthermore, known in the prior art that the control device

determines a time at which the rolling material enters the
respective roller table area and, from this time, accelerates
the conveyor rollers of the directly adjacent roller table area
into which the rolling material next enters. Unnecessary

acceleration processes and undesired network feedback can
largely be avoided by means of this mode of procedure. However,
it is no longer ensured that the conveyor rollers of the
directly adjacent roller table area have already reached the
conveying speed when the rolling material enters this directly
adjacent roller table area.
The object of the present invention consists in providing an
operating method for a reversing rolling ir.ill by means of which
it is possible, on the one hand, to avoid unnecessary
acceleration processes and distribute required acceleration
processes over time, and on the other hand to ensure that the
circumferential speed of the conveyor rollers is adapted to the
conveying speed of the rolling material when the rolling
material enters the respective roller table area.
The object is achieved in the case of an operating method of
the type mentioned at the beginning by virtue of the fact that,
at least for each roller table area arranged on the exit side
with reference to the respective conveying operation with
reference to the reversing stand, the control device
individually calculates a entry time at which the rolling
material enters at the earliest into the respective roller
table area, and whose conveyor rollers are driven in such a way
that the circumferential speed is adjusted to the entry speed
at the latest at the entry time..
In a fashion corresponding to this, the object for the data
medium is achieved by virtue of the fact that stored on it is a
computer program, which acts to carry out such an operating
method when the computer program is executed by a control
device for a reversing rolling mill.
Furthermore, the object is also achieved by a control device
for a reversing rolling mill which is designed, in particular

programmed, in such a way that the reversing rolling mill can
be driven by it in accordance with such an operating method.

Furthermore, the object is achieved by means of a reversing
rolling mill that is provided with such a control device.
In accordance with the present invention, the control device
thus uses data prescribed for it and relating, in particular,
to the speed profile for the rolling material on the entry side
and on the exit side - referred to the respective conveying
operation and the reversing stand - to the strip length and the
instantaneous position of the fore end of the rolling material
to calculate the time at which the rolling material reaches the
respective roller table area at the earliest, and which entry
speed the fore end of the rolling material has at this time.
The control device can therefore use the instantaneous
circumferential speeds of the conveyor rollers of the roller
table areas, and the maximum possible accelerations of the
conveyor rollers of the relevant roller table areas to count
back to when it is necessary to begin to adapt the
circumferential speed of the conveyor rollers of the respective
roller table area. The start time for adapting the
circumferential speed of the conveyor rollers to the entry
speed - dependent on speed, if appropriate - can therefore be
determined in an ordinary way in advance.
As a rule, the rolling material is rolled in the reversing
stand. In this case, during the rolling process the entry speed
(= speed of the fore end of the rolling material) and the exit
speed (= speed of the rear end of the rolling material) are, of
course, different from one another. Furthermore, they are also
different as a rule from a circumferential speed of work rolls
of the reversing stand. However, the present invention is
intended also to include the special case that the rolling
material is simply conveyed, and thus that the rolling material
is not worked during the conveyance.
When a start is made in conveying the rolling material, it is
possible that the remaining time no longer suffices to

accelerate the conveyor rollers up to the entry speed of one of
the roller table areas near the reversing stand and arranged on
the exit side with reference to the respective conveying
operation

with reference to the reversing stand. In order also to ensure
in this case that the conveyor rollers of the relevant roller
table area are accelerated up to the entry speed, it is
provided that before the conveyance of the rolling material the
control device determines for at least one of the roller table
areas arranged on the exit side with reference to the
respective conveying operation with reference to the reversing
stand a minimum time period that is required in order to adjust
the circumferential speed of the conveyor rollers of the
relevant roller table area to the entry speed, and delays the
beginning of the conveyance of the rolling material and
approximates the circumferential speed of the conveyor rollers
of the relevant roller table area to the entry speed as long as
the minimum time period is greater than a conveyance period
that corresponds to the difference between the entry time and
the beginning of the conveyance of the rolling material.
This last-described mode of procedure is particularly sensible
for the roller table area that directly adjoins the reversing
stand on the exit side with reference to the respective
conveying operation with reference to the reversing stand.
At least for each roller table area arranged on the exit side
with reference to the respective conveying operation with
reference to the reversing stand, the control device preferably
controls the adjustment of the circumferential speed of the
conveyor rollers of the respective roller table area to the
entry speed in accordance with an acceleration profile that is
individual for the respective roller table area, the
acceleration profile being determined in such a way that a
control margin remains. The point is that it is then possible
to correct unforeseen changes in the entry speed. The control
margin is realized in the case of a given maximum acceleration
by virtue of the fact that the time period for adjusting the
circumferential speed to the entry speed is determined as being
greater than the abovementioned minimum time period.

The abovedescribed mode of procedure can be adopted not only on
the exit side, but also on the entry side as long as the fore
end of the rolling material has thus not yet reached the
reversing stand. In these cases, instead of the entry speed it
is possible to use the exit speed, that is to say the speed at
which the rear end of the rolling material is moving. The point
is that as long as the fore end of the rolling material has not
yet reached the reversing stand, the entry speed and the exit
speed are identical.
In an analogous way to the driving of the roller table areas
when the rolling material enters into the respective roller
table area, a similar driving of the roller table areas can be
sensible even during the exiting of the rear end of the rolling
material from a rolling table area - at least on the entry side
of the reversing stand. In this case, at least for each roller
table area arranged on the entry side with reference to the
respective conveying operation with reference to the reversing
stand, the control device individually calculates an exit time
at which the rolling material exits at the latest into the
respective roller table area, and whose conveyor rollers are
driven in such a way that the circumferential speed is lowered
to less than the exit speed at the earliest at the exit time.
The time at which a start is made with lowering the
circumferential speed should preferably lie ahead of the time
at which the rear end of the rolling material exits from the
roller table area directly adjoining in the direction of the
reversing stand.
The control device must compute the entry time in the course of
the timely acceleration of the conveyor rollers before the
rolling material enters into the respective roller table area.
The same mode of procedure is possible in the course of the
lowering of the circumferential speed of the conveyor rollers
after the rolling material exits from the respective roller
table area. It is also possible here as an alternative to


202detect mechanically when the rolling material exits, for
example by means of the loading of the drives of the relevant
conveyor rollers.

Further advantages and details emerge from the following
description of an exemplary embodiment in conjunction with the
drawings, in which, in a schematic representation:
figure 1 shows a reversing rolling mill, and
figures 2 to 5 show flowcharts..
In accordance with figure 1, a reversing rolling mill has a
reversing stand 1, two roller tables 2, 3 arranged on both
sides of the reversing stand 1, and a control device 4. The
reversing stand 1 serves for the reversing rolling of a rolling
material 5, in particular a strip-shaped rolling material 5.
The roller tables 2, 3 serve for conveying the rolling material
5. The control device 4 effects the control of the reversing
rolling mill, that is to say of the reversing stand 1 and the
roller tables 2, 3, in particular.
The roller tables 2, 3 respectively have a number of roller
table areas 6. Each roller table area 6 has at least one
conveyor roller 7. The conveyor roller 7 of each roller table
area 6 can be driven by the control device 4 independently of
the conveyor rollers 7 of the other roller table areas 6. In
particular, the conveyor rollers 7 of each roller table area 6
are'respectively assigned at least one dedicated drive 8.
The first step in implementing the present invention is to
write a computer program 9 for the control device 4. This
computer program 9 is stored in an (exclusively) machine
readable form on a data medium 10. The data medium 10 can be,
for example, an internal data medium of the control device 4 or
another computer, not illustrated for reasons of clarity.
However, the data medium 10 can also be a transportable data
medium 10 such as, for example, a CD-ROM 10, a memory card or a
USB memory stick.

The computer program 9 is loaded into the control device 4 and
stored there, for example on the hard disk thereof. If the
computer program 9 is called up on the basis of

corresponding call conditions (for example a user input), the
control device 4 drives the reversing rolling mill in
accordance with an operating method that is explained in more
detail below in conjunction with figures 2 to 5. Storing the
computer program 9 in the control device 4 thus means that the
latter is appropriately programmed or of more general design.
In accordance with figure 2, the control device 4 receives
various parameters in a step Si. Thus, in step SI the control
device 4 firstly receives an initial position pA. The initial
position pA characterizes the position pA of a fore end 11 of
the rolling material 5 at the instantaneous time t.
Furthermore, the control device 4 also receives a corresponding
final position pE of a rear end 12 of the rolling material 5 at
the instantaneous time t. Furthermore, the control device 4
receives a conveying speed vT of the rolling material 5. The
conveying speed vT specifies the speed at which the rolling
material 5 is to be fed to the reversing stand 1. Finally, the
control device 4 receives stand settings of the reversing
stand 1.
The step SI is executed at a time at which the fore end 11 of
the rolling material has not yet reached the reversing stand 1.
It is therefore possible in the course of a step S2 for the
control device 4 to undertake the following determinations:
Firstly with the aid of the initial position pA and of the
conveying speed vT it can determine a time at which the
fore end 11 of the rolling material enters into the
reversing stand 1. Before this time, the entry speed vE at
which the fore end 11 of the rolling material enters into
the roller table areas 6 arranged on the entry side is
equal to the conveying speed vT. Starting from this time,
the entry speed vE at which the fore end 11 of the rolling
material enters into the roller table area 6 on the exit

side is determined by the quotient of the conveying speed
vT and a relative pass reduction h.

In a similar way, the control device 4 uses the final
position pE and the conveying speed vT to determine the
time at which the rear end 12 of the rolling material
enters into the reversing stand 1. Before this time, an
exit speed vA at which the rear end 12 of the rolling
material exits from the roller table area 6 on the entry
side is equal to the conveying speed vT. After this time,
the exit speed vA at which the rear end 12 of the roller
material exits from the roller table areas 6 arranged on
the exit side is determined by the quotient of conveying
speed vT and relative pass reduction h.
The terms "entry speed" and "exit speed" thus denote in the
scope of the present invention the speeds at which the fore end
11 of the rolling material enters into the roller table areas 6
and, respectively at which the rear end 12 of the rolling
material exits from the roller table areas 6. They are thus
used differently than normal.
The relative pass reduction 8h can be explicitly determined by
the Stand parameters. However, it is also possible for the
control device 4 itself to determine the relative pass
reduction 8h with the aid of the stand settings.
As a result, in step S2 the control device 4 thus determines
the time profiles both of the entry speed vE and of the exit
speed vA. It is therefore capable of determining in advance the
position at which the fore end 11 of the rolling material and
the rear end 12 of the rolling material, are located at any
desired time t.
In a step S3, the control device firstly selects that one of
the roller table areas 6 which directly adjoins the reversing
stand 1 on the exit side. It therefore selects the roller table
area 6 into which the rolling material 5 firstly enters after
being rolled by the reversing stand 1. In a step S4, it

undertakes the required adaptations of the rotation speed vU of
the conveyor roller 7 of the selected

roller table area 6. The step S4 is explained in more detail in
conjunction with figure 3.
In a step S5, the control device 4 then checks whether it has
already carried out the step S4 for all roller table areas 6
arranged on the exit side. If this is not the case, the control
device 4 selects in a step S6 the next roller table area 6 on
the exit side, and returns to the step S4.
In steps S7 to S10, the control device 4 carries out a mode of
procedure, corresponding to the steps S3 to S6, with reference
to the roller table areas 6 arranged on the entry side. Here,
as well, the step S8 is explained in more detail in conjunction
with figure 4.
In a step S11, the control device 4 checks whether the
conveyance of the rolling material 5 has ceased, and thus
whether the respective conveying operation has ceased. If this
is not the case, the control device 4 returns to the step S3.
Otherwise, the control device 4 checks in a step S12 whether
all the conveying operations (in particular all the rolling
passes to be executed) have already been executed. If this is
not the case, the control device 4 returns to the step SI.
Otherwise, the inventive operating method has ceased.
The control device 4 preferably proceeds as follows in
accordance with figure 3 in order to implement the step S4 of
figure 2:
Firstly, with the aid of the initial position pA and the entry
speed profile vE(t), it determines in a step S21 an entry time
TE for the selected roller table area 6. Furthermore, with the
aid of the final position pE and the exit speed profile vA(t),
it determines (likewise in the course of the step S21) exit
times TA and TA' for the selected roller table area 6 and for
the roller table area 6

that adjoins the selected roller table area 6 in the direction
of the conveying speed vT.
In a step S22, the control device 4 next determines a start
time TS. The start time TS is preferably determined by the
formula

TR is a time that is greater than zero. I": signifies a control
margin. vE(TE) is the entry speed vE at which the fore end 11
of the rolling material enters into the selected roller table
area 6 at. the entry time TE. vU(t) is the circumferential speed
vU of the conveyor rollers 7 of the selected roller table area
6 at the instantaneous time t. a is a maximum acceleration of
the conveyor roller 7 of the selected roller table 6.
Furthermore, in a step S23, the control device 4 calculates a
lowering time TA". The lowering time TA" is preferably
determined by the formula

k is a factor that lies between zero and one. It preferably
lies in the vicinity of zero, for example between 0.0 and 0.2.
In a step S24, the control device 4 checks whether the
instantaneous time t has already exceeded the start time TS. If
this is not the case, the control device 4 carries out in a
step S25 a reaction that can be arbitrary within the scope of
the present invention.
By contrast, when the start time TS has been reached or
exceeded, the control device 4 furthermore checks in a step S26
whether the entry time TE has already been exceeded, and thus
whether the rolling material 5 has already reached the selected
roller table area 6. If this is not the case, in a

step S27 the control device 4 drives the conveyor rollers 7 in
such a way that the circumferential speed vU thereof
approximates the entry speed vE at the entry time TE. Since
this adjustment in the step S27 is preferably performed with
the maximum acceleration a, it is ensured that the
circumferential speed vU of the conveyor rollers 7 is adjusted
to the entry speed vE at the correct time, that is to say at
the latest at the entry time TE. Moreover,, the time reserve TR
remains as control margin for compensating any unforeseen
changes in the entry speed vE. Furthermore, on the basis of the
individual determination of the start time TS and of the
individual entry speed vE at this time TS, the acceleration
profile in conjunction with which the adjustment of the
circumferential speed vU is performed is also individual to the
respective roller table area 6.
Even though the entry time TE has already been exceeded, the
control device 4 checks in a step S28 whether the lowering time
TA" has already been reached. If this is not the case, the
control device 4 takes the circumferential speed vU of the
conveyor roller 7 of the selected roller table area 6 at the
entry speed vE given at the respective time t. Otherwise, in a
step S30 it lowers the circumferential speed vU of the conveyor
roller 7 of the selected roller table area 6.
The reference speed for the circumferential speed vU is the
entry speed vE in the step S29, while it is exit speed vA in
the step S30. The contradiction between the steps S29 and S30
is, however, only apparent. The point is that the rolling
material 5 has already been completely rolled at the lowering
time TA". Consequently, both the fore end 11 of the rolling
material and the rear end 12 of the rolling material are
located on the exit side of the reversing stand 1. For this
reason, after the lowering time TA" the exit speed vA is equal
to the entry speed vE.

The implementation of the step S8 of figure 2 that is
illustrated in figure 4 corresponds very largely to figure 3.
The sole difference resides in that instead of the step S29, in
figure 4 a step S31 is executed in which the circumferential
speed vU is kept at the exit speed vA. Here, as well, the
contradiction with the step S27 is only an apparent one. The
point is that owing to the circumstance that in the context of
figure 4 the selected roller table area 6 is located on the
entry side, the entry speed vE is equal to the exit speed vA
when the fore end 11 of the rolling material enters into the
selected roller table area 6.
In accordance with figures 2 to 4, both the adjustment of the
circumferential speed vU to the entry speed vE, and the
lowering of the circumferential speed vU below the exit speed
vA are executed for the conveyor rollers 7 of all the roller
table areas 6, that is to say both on the entry side and on the
exit side. However, it is possible to execute the inventive
method only on the exit side. In this case, the steps S7 to 10,
and also figure 4, can be omitted.
Independently of whether the inventive operating method is
executed only on the exit side or else on the entry side, it is
possible, furthermore, to undertake only the adjustment of the
circumferential speed vU to the entry speed vE, but no longer
to undertake the lowering of the circumferential speed vU after
the exit time TA. In this case, the steps S23, S28 and S30 can
be omitted in figures 3 and 4. Thus, in this case there is
always a transition directly to the step S29 from the step S26.
Furthermore, in this case the determination of the exit times
TA, TA' can be omitted in step S21.
The procedure described so far already yields a substantial
improvement over the prior art. However, the inventive
operating method can be optimized even further using the
refinement in accordance with figure 5.

In accordance with figure 5, steps S41 to S46 are inserted
between the steps S2 and S3 of figure 2.
In the step S41, the control device 4 selects - in a similar
way to the step S3 of figure 2 - the roller table area 6 that
lies closest to the reversing stand 1 on the exit side. The
control device 4 determines a conveying time 8t in step S42.
The conveying time 8t corresponds to the time period that
elapses from the beginning of the conveyance of the rolling
material 5 up to the entry time TE of the fore end 11 of the
rolling material into the selected roller table area 6.
The control device 4 determines a minimum time TM in the step
S43 in accordance with the formula

The variables used in this formula have all already been
defined.
The control device 4 checks in the step S44 as to whether the
conveying time 8t exceeds the minimum tirr.e TM. If this is not
the case, in the step S45 the control device 4 approximates the
circumferential speed vU of the conveyor roller 7 of the
selected roller table area 6 to the entry speed vE. Otherwise,
it beings the conveyance of the rolling material 5 in the step
S46.
In accordance with figure 5, the beginning of the conveyance of
the rolling material 5 is delayed only as a function of the
data for the roller table area 6 lying closest to the rolling
stand 1 on the exit side. However, it can also be theoretically
possible, of course, also to carry out the steps S41 to S46 for
the other roller table area 6 on the exit side. However, the
mode of procedure in accordance with figure 5 suffices as a
rule.

The inventive operating method therefore ensures that all the
conveyor rollers 7 that are in contact

with the rolling material 5 always exhibit a circumferential
speed vU that corresponds to the conveying speed of the rolling
material 5 in the relevant roller table area 6.
