Abstract
An apparatus and a method for determining and setting the center of a roll stand and adjusting positions of a roll stand, wherein the bearing chocks of the horizontal rolls have processed planar support surfaces located opposite each other and preferably parallelepiped-shaped spacer pieces with defined dimensions are placed on these support surfaces. Defined pressures are applied to the spacer pieces by adjusting the rolls, wherein the resulting adjustment positions are determined and used as actual values for the position determining system which controls the roll stand during the rolling operation.
