Heavy profiled supports or rails may be produced by rolling through a series of rolling stands. Material is passed through a two-high reversing pre-rolling stand, an edging stand, a reversing universal stand, a second compression stand, and a second reversing universal stand. When rails are to be produced the material is passed through stands in through-travel only. When rolling profiled supports it is preferable to replace the stand by a roller train section.

Rolling mill train

A material, such as metal, is passed along a rolling mill train to produce a profiled support or rail. At certain stages the passage of the material is reversed so that the material passes through certain rolling stands more than once. The train comprises the following stands: a reversing pre-rolling stand; an edging stand; and a reversing universal rolling stand. After a return passage through the reversing universal rolling stand, the caliber rolls of the edging stand are reduced and the material passes again twice through the edging stand and the reversing universal rolling stand.
