Abstract

The invention relates to a method for changing/transporting a fire roll set ( 7, 8 ) and a second roll set ( 22 ) on a transversal displacement platform ( 23 ) in the region of a roll stand ( 4 ) in a roll hall, in or counter to the direction of rolling. During the changing/transporting of the first and the second roll set ( 7, 8, 22 ) by the transversal displacement platform ( 23 ), a roll changing hole ( 10 ) is completely transversed/covered. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out said method.

Claims (4)

1. A device for changing a set of work rolls ( 7 , 8 , 22 ) in the area of a rolling stand ( 4 ) in a mill hall ( 1 ) having a roll-changing pit ( 10 ) and a side shift platform ( 23 ), where the side shift platform ( 23 ) has several track rollers ( 24 ) with which the side shift platform ( 23 ) can be moved in the direction of rolling or in the opposite direction by means of a hydraulic cylinder ( 28 ) over parallel rails ( 26 ) arranged on both sides of the roll-changing pit ( 10 ), wherein the side shift platform ( 23 ) is a simple bridge having a length substantially greater than the width of the roll-changing pit and designed to hold both a dismounted set of work rolls ( 7 , 8 ) and a new set of work rolls ( 22 ) arranged side by side and parallel to one another; where the side shift platform ( 23 ) is designed in such a way in its length and with its track rollers ( 24 ) that, on the one hand, during the extraction of the used set of work rolls from the rolling stand ( 4 ), it bridges the roll-changing pit and is supported on the rails ( 26 ) on both sides of the roll-changing pit ( 10 ), and, on the other hand, during its lateral displacement over the roll-changing pit ( 10 ) to free the pit, it can be supported on the rails ( 26 ) only on one side of the roll-changing pit ( 10 ).

2. A device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the side shift platform ( 23 ) is designed to ride on two parallel rails ( 26 ).

3. A device in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the side shift platform ( 23 ) is constructed in two rows with six track rollers ( 24 ) each.

4. A device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the shift platform ( 23 ) is constructed as a steel structure.
