Abstract
A spray system for use in a rolling mill comprises a carriage assembly mounted on linear bearings for movement along an X-axis parallel to an horizontal line passing through the bite of two superposed work rolls, two spray manifolds mounted on the carriage assembly along a Y-axis parallel to a vertical centerline passing through the work rolls, each manifold containing at least one spray nozzle for setting a predetermined spray pattern on each work roll, a carriage traverse mechanism for adjusting the traverse position of the carriage assembly along the X-axis, and two manifold lift mechanisms mounted on the carriage assembly to independently adjust the position of each spray manifold along the Y-axis.
