MILL STANDS
HC mill in stands 1 to 4:
-Intermediate roll (IMR) shifting but without IMR bending
UC mill in stand 5:
-Intermediate roll (IMR) shifting with IMR Bending
Intermediate cooling between stands
Work roll bending crown in and crown out cylinders on 5 stands

Work roll diameter range: 18.7" to 16.35" x 60" face width
Intermediate roll diameter range: 21.26" to 18.9"
Backup roll diameter range: 53" to 48.43"
All Backup, Intermediate, and work rolls are ground flat with zero crown
Shape is achieved through roll bending and intermediate shifting.
Automatic cooling spray header at 2" zone spacing and 30 zones integrated with

shapemeter roll
feedback to apply thermal expansion profile adjustments to work rolls and

intermediate rolls

Roll force by bottom hydraulic cylinder of the mill stand
Hitachi HYROP forced motor valve is used to obtain responsive gap changes.
Design Force Limit: 2000 tons
Tension by cylinder control force limit (software) - Sheet: 1800 Ton / Tin:

1200 Ton

Pass line adjustment by hydraulic step and wedge assembly at top of mill stand
with integral load cells for measuring roll force

Backup Roll Bearing: Morgoil Oil Film Bearing
Work Roll and Intermediate Roll bearings: Spherical roller bearings with air-

oil lubrication
