The invention relates to a method for producing a metal strip () in a continuous casting and rolling process, in which a slab is first cast in a casting machine and is then fed to a finishing rolling mill situated downstream in the direction of feed (F) of the strip (), where it is rolled. According to the invention, in order to enable the recycling of scrap while achieving a compact design, the following steps are performed in the event of a planned or unplanned production interruption in the finishing rolling mill: a) cutting through the strip () at a point () between the casting machine () and the finishing rolling mill by means of a cutting device (); b) feeding the part of the strip () that follows the cut into a strip store () by means of a driver (), the driver () being situated downstream of the cutting device () in the direction of feed (F); c) cutting through the strip () a second time by means of the cutting device () and cutting the following part of the strip () into pieces by means of the cutting device (); d) cutting the stored strip section into pieces, preferably of a defined length. The invention further relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method.

Method and device for producing a metal strip in a continuous casting and rolling process

An apparatus () for winding-up a metal strip () into a coil (), includes a clamping pair () formed of a deflection roller () and a pressure roller () and located in front of the coil () in a material flow direction () so that the strip () is retained under tensional stress with respect to the coil () and is so bendable that the strip (), which is provided with a corresponding pre-bend, is firmly wound into a coil (). The apparatus further includes a first bending roller () pressable against the deflection roller (), and arranged in front of the clamping pair () in the material flow direction (), and a further roller () adjustable relative to the deflection roller () and arranged behind the clamping pair () in the material flow direction (), with the pressure roller () and both bending rollers () being so displaceable relative to the deflection roller () that an end region () of the strip () is additionally curved to form the pre-bend dependent on an end diameter () of the coil ().

The invention relates to a method and a device for depositing a metal coil () on two stationary support points (--). In order to be able to deposit even metal coils that have high internal residual stress in a stable manner on the two support points, according to the invention, a third support point () is pivoted against the outer circumference of the metal coil () if needed).

The invention relates to a device and a method for handling a metal strip. The device comprises a coiling device () with a coiling mandrel () for winding the metal strip to form a coil () on the coiling mandrel and a coil stripper car () with supports () for receiving the coil () from the coiling mandrel and removing the coil from the coiling device (). In order to additionally secure the metal strip in the coiling device during the transfer from the coiling mandrel onto the coil stripper care and during a transport by means of the coil stripper car, a first hold-down arm () is provided for exerting a first hold-down force (F) onto the outer circumference of the coil () in order to press the coil onto the supports of the coil stripper car.

The invention relates to a device and a method for depositing a metal coil () on two support points (--). In order to avoid risks, in particular instability, while depositing metal coils having high residual stress, according to the invention the risk of an unstable position of equilibrium is checked, if a change in the relative position of the two support points (--) with respect to one another is foreseeable, it is carried out such that the metal coil () comes to rest on both support points at least approximately in a stable position of equilibrium.

The invention relates to an inspection systemfor rolled productsof a milling station, comprising at least one plate turning devicewith an arrangement of transferring turning armslocated on a turning shaftand of receiving turning armslocated on a turning shaft. According to the invention it is thereby provided that the turning shaftof the receiving turning armsis arranged offset with respect to the turning shaftof the transferring turning arms. The invention relates in addition to a method for examination of the surface of rolled productsof a milling station.

The invention relates to a method for rolling up a metallic strip (), in particular a steel strip, to a coil (), the strip () being kept under longitudinal tension between a driver (), consisting of at least one driver top roll () and at least one driver bottom roll (), and a winding pin (). The strip () is rolled up on the winding pin () to form the coil (). In order to prevent the undesired opening of the wound coil in a simple manner, a bending moment (MB) is initiated in the strip, said bending moment acting perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the strip () and causing a plastic deformation when a defined remaining length of the strip () is reached. The invention also relates to a device for rolling up a metallic strip.
