A hydraulic stretching machine for straightening and stress-relieving rails, the machine being defined by stretching grips and fixing shackles being displaceable individually and independently, laterally and vertically, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stretching machine, and grip-holding jaws which can be oriented about a longitudinal axis, the jaws including a fixed jaw and a mobile jaw articulated in and upon the fixed jaw.

Machine for straightening and stress-relieving steel rails

A rough beam (4) is formed on a universal stand (11), and a two high stand starting with an initial section (1) of rectangular or trapezoidal cross-section, in two series of passes in the universal stand. During the first series reduction of the web forming portion is effected by horizontal rolls (5, 6) acting on the central portion of the initial section (1) and during the second series of passes both the horizontal rolls (5, 6) and the vertical rolls (7, 8) of the universal stand (11) simultaneously reduce the web and flanges, respectively. The rough-beam being formed during the second series of passes is also rolled in the open grooves of a two high stand.

Fully universal rolling process for H or I-beam type metal sections

A process for forming a rail blank in a universal stand, starting with an initial section (1) of rectangular cross-section comprising a first series of passes for cutting into the web forming portion by way of horizontal rolls (2, 3) accompanied by reduction of the head by way of one of the vertical roll (5), and a second series of passes for simultaneously reducing the head flank forming portions by the horizontal rolls (2, 3) and the base forming portions by one of the vertical roll (4) of the universal stand, the other roll (5) remaining non-active.

Forming process for metal rail blank

The system according to the invention comprises: stand-bearing trolleys capable of independent displacements in the longitudinal and transverse directions, each constituted by two longitudinal members on which the stand is fixed and supported by axle-less wheels driven by on-board motors and by two transverse members supported by axle-less wheels driven by on-board motors; longitudinal and transverse tracks connecting the rolling sites, the siding sites and the pre-assembly sites; intersections of tracks; counter-rails disposed vertically on either side of the tracks; hydraulic jacks serving to fix the stands on the trolleys and for lifting the stands for adjusting the level of the rolling plane; bed plates upstream and downstream of the rolling sites serving to lock the stands in rolling position; on the rolling sites, coupling hooks serving for the precise positioning of the stands in rolling position and where necessary for the displacements of the stands during rolling, to bring different passes into the rolling axis of the rolling mill.

System for replacing section rolling mill stands, multi-function

The invention relates to an improved device for moving and axially adjusting horizontal rolls of a section for rolling mill stand, comprising an axial thrust bearing mounted in the envelope of a casing blocked on an element of the stand, a sleeve mounted for axial slide and fast with the outer race of the bearing, the sleeve being blocked in rotation in the envelope of the casing; a screw mechanism for adjusting the position of the sleeve with respect to the envelope of the casing comprising a thread on an outer part of the sleeve on which are screwed two pinion-nuts, two end stops formed on the casing, two shafted pinions pivoting in the casing each contiguous with a stop and meshing with a respective pinion-nut, the two pinion-nuts being provided on their opposite face with a dog-clutch. The shafted pinions may be controlled by motors having reversible rotation, and associated with pulse counters.

Device for moving and axially adjusting horizontal rolls of a section

The primary blank 1, which is to be transformed into a finished rail by means of universal passes, edging passes and a finishing pass, is characterized by a symmetric `.UPSILON.` section the thickness of which always varies in the same way. It is designed to be shaped exclusively in open grooves.

Shaped blanks, methods for their production and improvements to the

The set of horizontal rolls or the set of horizontal and vertical rolls of a universal stand, especially a finishing stand for universal rolling of rails or like sections has, in addition to the finishing grooves, grooves other than universal or finishing grooves, preferably edging grooves.

Improved rolling mills apparatus for rolling rails with universal and

Rolling mill rolls having open grooves comprising active and relatively non-active portions are provided wherein at least two such grooves are overlapped by their relatively non-active portions. Also disclosed are processes for feeding such rolls, a stand connecting such rolls and a universal rolling mill having stands incorporating such rolls.
