Patent ID: 7181946

Claim:
Equipment for the optional coiling of partly rolled strip ( 3 ) product, transfer and uncoiling of the formed coils ( 24 ), or for allowing the partly rolled product to pass through uncoiled, with a set of bending rolls ( 5 , 5 ′, 5 ″), which produces a downward bend in the rolled product passing through it, with a roller table ( 6 , 7 , 9 ), whose drive rolls support the coiling operation and effect uncoiling operations and further conveyance of formed coils to free the coiling position, and with a drive unit ( 16 ) that conveys partly rolled product that is passing through or that has been uncoiled, wherein at least one support roll ( 20 , 20 ′, 20 ″) is provided, which runs on the periphery of the coil ( 24 , 24 ′, 24 ″) that is to be transferred and/or has been transferred into the uncoiling position and holds the coil in the uncoiling position, wherein rolls ( 23 , 23 ′) are provided that support and rotationally drive the coils ( 24 , 24 ′; 24 ″) that are to be uncoiled and the rolls ( 23 , 23 ′) and the at least one support roll ( 20 , 20 ′, 20 ″) that supports the periphery of the coils can be simultaneously power driven to move in a running direction of the partly rolled product, and further comprising at least one drive ( 19 ) for moving the at least one support roll ( 20 , 20 ′, 20 ″) vertically, wherein the at least one drive ( 19 ) is equipped with a control device, which vertically lowers the support roll ( 20 ) as a function of the coil diameter and/or an uncoiled length and/or an uncoiling time.
