A rolling mill edger includes a pair of work rolls () and a feed roll assembly. The assembly includes one or more driven feed rolls () and a drive for the feed rolls. The feed roll assembly is mounted on a moveable () mount such that the feed roll assembly is movable by pivoting the assembly between an operative rolling position () in the edger and a roll change position () out of the edger.

Edger feed rolls

A fully hydraulic edging system suitable for use in wide plate mills is disclosed. The need for electro-mechanical screws to effect large movements of the side rollers is avoided by employing a pull-back hydraulic cylinder for this purpose. The main hydraulic cylinders are switched to a non-operational mode during large movements thus avoiding the need for large volumes of hydraulic fluid to be transferred under high pressure.
