Abstract
A method of controlling a roll gap between first and second work rolls () that includes defining a plurality of work surface locations spaced apart along the first work roll () in the longitudinal direction; obtaining a radius of the work surface () of the first work roll () at each of the work surface locations; based on the radii of the work surface locations, obtaining a longitudinal profile of the work surface (); based on the longitudinal profile, tilting the first work roll () relative to the second work roll () in the common plane in order to reduce a difference in the average size of the gap either side of a centerline (CL), which bisects the longitudinal axes of the first and second work rolls ().
