Abstract
A simple, robust and rationally operable device for tilting rolled stock comprises a tilting head comprising a gripping device for the rolled stock, which defines a tilting axis, and a first drive for rotating the tilting head about a tilting head axis extending parallel to the tilting axis to adjust the tilting head in respective tilted positions. A lifting device supports the tilting head, and a second drive is arranged to raise and lower the lifting device to adjust the lifting device in respective lifting positions. A carriage supports the lifting device, and a third drive is arranged to displace the carriage transversely to the tilting axis to adjust the carriage in respective transverse positions. A numerical control is connected to the first, second and third drives and is arranged to receive control signal components respectively corresponding to the respective tilted, lifting and transverse positions to control the drives in response thereto to adjust the tilting of the rolled stock.
