Abstract:
A device for tempering at least parts of the cross section of sequentially produced profiled rolling stock from the rolling heat and for the subsequent cooling thereof to room temperature, wherein said device consists essentially of(a) a roller table comprising rolls for receiving said rolling stock, (b) an alignment device for axially aligning the rolling stock, (c) a transport device for transporting the rolling stock in transverse direction, (d) a hardening device for hardening the rolling stock, said hardening device comprising a manipulator arrangement for manipulating the rolling stock to be hardened, (e) a cooling bed for the hardened rolling stock, said cooling bed comprising a deposit region, wherein said roller table (a) comprises a positioning device for positioning in longitudinal direction the rolling stock which is supplied thereto, said positioning device comprising said alignment device (b), wherein said transport device (c) comprises at least two supporting arms that are simultaneously movable between said rolls of said roller table (a), each arm comprising at an end section thereof a rest for supporting said rolling stock, the rests on the supporting arms being capable of being moved in transverse direction from an alignment position in the region of the roller table (a) into said deposit region of said cooling bed (e) and of being raised in such a way that only the rests are above an upper surface of said roller table (a), wherein said hardening device (d) comprises at least two liquid cooling devices and manipulators for moving the rolling stock, said liquid cooling devices being arranged next to one another and essentially parallel to said alignment device (b), and wherein the deposit region of said cooling bed is arranged next to and parallel to the lengthwise extension of said at least two liquid cooling devices.
