Abstract

A method for coiling thin metal strip on a coiler mandrel, which is adjusted in diameter, in which, at the beginning, the inner windings of the coil are coiled on the adjusted coiler mandrel diameter, and, after the final winding of the coil, the coiler mandrel is pulled out, or the coil is taken off. One or more profile grooves are pressed into one inner winding or into several adjacent inner windings on the circumference during rotation of the coil.

Claims (5)

1. Method for coiling thin metal strip ( 1 ), especially hot-rolled or cold-rolled thin steel strip, on a coiler mandrel ( 3 a ), which is adjusted in diameter, in which, at the beginning, the inner windings ( 12 ) of the coil are coiled on the adjusted coiler mandrel diameter, and, after the final winding of the coil ( 11 ), the coiler mandrel ( 3 a ) is pulled out, or the coil ( 11 ) is taken off, wherein one or more profile grooves ( 17 ) are pressed into one inner winding or into several adjacent inner windings ( 12 ) on the circumference during rotation of the coil.

2. Method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the profile grooves ( 17 ) are pressed into the one or more inner windings by means of the rotationally driven coiler mandrel ( 3 a ), which is provided with profile ridges ( 16 ).

3. Method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the profile grooves ( 17 ) are pressed during the coiling of the metal strip ( 1 ).

4. Method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein after the coiling of the first winding ( 12 ) on the coiler mandrel ( 3 a ), a re-expansion is carried out, and the profile grooves ( 17 ) are pressed into the inner windings ( 12 ) with a force that depends on the strip and the material.

5. Method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein gages on the order of 0.4 to 1.8 mm are processed.
