Abstract
A method of aligning each of the rolls in a rolling mill such that each of the axes of rotation are substantially parallel to one another and do not present a crossed-roll condition. The alignment method does not involve the disassembly of the chock arrangement and associated bearings, but utilizes the determination of a special orientation of each of the lateral chock face planes with respect to the axis of rotation of the associated roll. Once this spacial orientation has been determined, it is then utilized in the analysis of the chock, roll and bearing tolerances and alignment and in the selective placement of necessary corrective spacing elements between the lateral chock face planes and their support within the rolling mill to physically adjust the chock face plane and the axis of rotation of the associated roll such that each of the axes of rotation of each roll are parallel to one another.
