Abstract

In a rolling mill in which a hot rolled product is directed by a guide along a delivery path into a roll pass aligned on a mill pass line, a control system is disclosed for correcting any transverse misalignment of the delivery path with respect to the mill pass line. The system compromises an adjustment mechanism for shifting the guide transversely with respect to the mill pass line. Detectors measure a selected parameter indicative of the transverse misalignment and generate status signals representative thereof. A controller responds to the status signals and automatically and remotely operates the adjustment mechanism to correct the misalignment by transversely shifting the guide with respect to the mill pass line.
