An abrasive-band grinding device for rolls and method for grinding rolls in which a motor rotates an abrasive band such that the abrasive band is pressed against the face of the roll to be ground. Guide pulleys are arranged in a loop of the abrasive band and, between the guide pulleys, a rotatable contact pulley is arranged over which the abrasive band is pressed against the face to be ground. The contact pulley is controlled by an actuator, preferably a motor, so that it can be inclined in relation to the roll face to be ground.

Abrasive-band grinding device and method for controlling an abrasive-band grinding device during grinding of faces of crowned rolls

Method and device for drilling holes into a mantle of a cylinder of a paper machine, in particular a drying cylinder, while the cylinder is in its site of operation in the paper machine in which a drill carriage having drill bits is supported on the cylinder being drilled. The drill carriage is locked in a fixed position relative to the cylinder being drilled the drill bits are pressed into the mantle of the cylinder to be drilled and rotating to thereby drill holes in the cylinder mantle. The drill carriage is supported on the cylinder being drilled by a first set of wheels arranged on the drill carriage during drilling and is displaced upon rotation of a second set of wheels which contact the cylinder only for axial movement and not during drilling.

Method and device for drilling holes into the mantle of a cylinder or equivalent of a paper machine

A method for drilling holes into a mantle of a cylinder of a paper machine while the cylinder is in its site of operation in the paper machine. The holes are drilled into the cylinder mantle by a drilling device having drill bits and which is transferred after each drilling cycle to the next drilling position. When drilling the holes, the device is supported on cylinders placed adjacent to and above the cylinder to be machined and/or on the cylinder to be machined by fastening supports of the device. Before the drilling is started, the device is locked in its position by locking fastening supports in a desired position and, the holes are drilled into the cylinder placed underneath from the top toward the bottom. The device includes drill bits, a frame construction, a drive gear for transferring and rotating the drill bits during the drilling, fastening supports for supporting the device in its place in the drilling position against the cylinders placed above and adjacent to the cylinder to be machined and/or against the cylinder to be machined, and an actuator for locking the device in its place in the drilling position.
