BILLET ROLLING MILL EQUIPPED WITH A MANIPULATOR SUBASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SUCH A ROLLING MILL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240033794 titled 'BILLET ROLLING MILL EQUIPPED WITH A MANIPULATOR SUBASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SUCH A ROLLING MILL
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a billet rolling mill that consists of two rolls used to shape a blank. Each shaping roll has at least one rolling tool and is rotated by a drive motor. The mill also includes a manipulator subassembly that moves the blank in relation to the shaping rolls. The manipulator subassembly comprises a clamp to grip the blank and a carriage to move the clamp along the rolling direction of the blank. A linear motor is used to move the carriage along the rolling direction, which is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rolling tool. The linear motor can accelerate the blank and apply either a tensile force to extract the blank from the gap between the rolling tools or a braking force to limit the ejection speed of the blank.
- The billet rolling mill has two rolls with rolling tools for shaping a blank.
- A manipulator subassembly is used to move the blank with respect to the shaping rolls.
- The manipulator subassembly includes a clamp to grip the blank and a carriage to move the clamp along the rolling direction.
- A linear motor is employed to move the carriage along the rolling direction, which is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rolling tool.
- The linear motor can accelerate the blank and selectively apply a tensile force or a braking force on the blank.
- The tensile force is used to extract the blank from the gap between the rolling tools.
- The braking force is used to limit the ejection speed of the blank.
Potential Applications
- Metalworking industry
- Manufacturing of billets and other metal products
Problems Solved
- Efficient shaping of blanks in the metalworking process
- Precise control of blank movement and ejection speed
Benefits
- Improved productivity and efficiency in the metalworking process
- Enhanced control and accuracy in shaping blanks
- Reduced risk of damage or defects in the shaped blanks
Original Abstract Submitted
the billet rolling mill comprises two rolls for shaping a blank, each shaping roll being provided with at least one rolling tool and being rotated about an axis of rotation by a drive motor, and a manipulator subassembly for moving the blank with respect to the shaping rolls. the manipulator subassembly comprises a clamp gripping the blank and a carriage moving the clamp at least along a direction of rolling of the blank. the manipulator subassembly comprises a linear motor moving the carriage along the direction of rolling. the direction of rolling is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rolling tool. the linear motor is configured for accelerating the blank and selectively exerting on the blank, either a tensile force, to extract the blank from a gap defined between the rolling tools, or a braking force, to limit a speed of ejection of the blank.
