Pilger mill stand

A stand of a cold tube-rolling mill is formed by a housing and work rolls. Mounted in pairs on the housing are uprights arranged opposite to the axis of rolling. The work rolls are mounted one above the other in the bearing supports between pairs of lower and upper backup rolls mounted in corresponding bearing chocks. The upper bearing chocks are adapted for vertical setup motions. The stand has a device for ensuring positive contact of the work rolls. The device is a linkage mechanism for each bearing chock of the upper backup rolls that links kinematically the bearing chock with an independent power drive ensuring its vertical setup motion.

Stand of cold tube-rolling mill

In the process of rolling a tubular billet with a mandrel is displaced in the rolling direction as it is simultaneously rotated about its longitudinal axis. Then a portion of the billet is advanced between the working rolls and is drawn over the mandrel during backward movement of the billet together with the mandrel. During forward movement of the billet with the mandrel, the billet is displaced relative to the mandrel in the same direction for a distance equal to that covered by the billet portion fed into the gap between the working rolls. The backward movement of the billet with the mandrel is effected at a speed substantially close to the peripheral speed of the working rolls at the starting moment of the drafting operation. The pilger mill comprises a stationary stand with continuously rotating working rolls. The mill also incorporates a billet feeding and turning mechanism and a billet gripping jaw kinematically linked with each other. The billet gripping jaw has screw nuts coaxially positioned therein and cooperating with a lead screw mounted together with the mandrel rod in a carriage. A tube turning mechanim has a tube gripping means accommodated in its body. Feeding and turning shafts in the billet feeding and turning mechanism are made hollow and formed with openings to receive respectively the lead screw and mandrel rod coaxially arranged therein.
