Abstract:
Roller table apparatus ( 200; 300 ) for transporting a metallic product (P) to or from a mill stand, includes: first and second rolls ( 202 a,  202 b;  302 a,  302 b ), outboard ends of the rolls are supported by respective outboard bearings and inboard ends of the rolls are supported by respective inboard bearings, such that each of the rolls is rotatable about its longitudinal axis (X 1,  X 2 ); and at least one adjuster ( 216; 316 a,  316 b ), movable in use to displace at least one end of the rolls or the respective bearings of the roll so as to adjust an angle (α) of inclination of each of the longitudinal axes of the rolls with respect to a datum (D), thereby to adjust a pass-line height (h 1,  h 2 ) of the product relative to the datum.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of using a roller table apparatus for transporting a metallic product to or from a mill stand comprising,\n the roller table apparatus comprising: first and second rolls, outboard ends of the rolls being supported by respective outboard bearings and inboard ends of the rolls being supported by respective inboard bearings, such that each of the rolls is rotatable about its longitudinal axis; and at least one adjuster, movable in use to displace the rolls so as to adjust an angle of inclination of each of the longitudinal axes of the rolls with respect to a datum, thereby to adjust a pass-line height of the product relative to the datum; and the method comprising moving the adjuster in order to adjust a roller table angle according to one or more of the width, thickness, grade and temperature, of the metallic product wherein at least one motor is arranged to rotate the rolls.
