The invention involves a procedure having three key stages: In the first stage, just prior to the introduction of the metal into stand (n+1), the value of the rolling torque in stand (n) is determined and recorded. Then, in the second stage, when the metal is introduced into stand (n+1), the value of the rolling torque in stand (n) is held constant by controlling the speed regulator of stand (n) up to the time the metal is introduced into stand (n+2). Finally, in the third stage, which continues until the rolling operation in stand (n) has been completed, the voluminal flow of the metal is held constant at the line of each stand by applying a multiplier coefficient to the signal representing the ratio between the speeds of two successive stands.

Procedure and device for rolling metals without stress

The frequency of a pulse generator, which could be the tachometer of a motor, is measured with a fast clock and a slow clock using a computer to calculate the frequency .omega.=k N1/N2, where N2 is a count of pulses accumulated in a register during each period of the slow clock while N1 is the count of the fast clock during the same period. Depending upon whether the measured frequency is higher or lower than the slow clock frequency, a comparator causes measurement to occur at the end of N2 pulses or with N2=1.
