A horizontal roll stand includes upper and lower back-up rolls, removable work rolls, a balancing device for supporting the upper work roll, and a vertical adjustment device for the lower back-up roll. The work rolls are removed and a press device for straightening pressing of a flat metal product is inserted into the roll stand. The press device includes opposing upper and lower press frames that are displaceable relative to each other. The upper press frame and the lower press frame have one of a selectively moveable pressing die or opposing selectively moveable table with a trough for immersion of the pressing die to selectively press and flatten defects in the flat metal product. The upper press frame includes carrier elements which contact a balancing device of and for support within the roll stand. The lower press frame has support elements for being supported on stanchions of the roll stand.

Device and method for straightening pressing of a flat metal product

The invention relates to a device for adjusting a roll in a roll housingof a roll stand. The device comprises a motor for providing an adjusting force for the roll; a drive shaftthat can be actuated in a rotatory manner by the motor; and a pressure spindle for transmitting the adjusting force of the motor to the roll. In order to do away with the upstream worm gear used in the prior art, according to the invention, the motor is designed in the form of a hydro- or torque-motor, the pressure spindleis provided with an axially oriented cylindrical receiving space on the motor-side end face, the drive shaftcan project into the receiving area of the pressure spindle, and the pressure spindleand the drive shaftare coupled to one another in a rotatory manner inside the receiving area.
