Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Metallbandes, bei dem das Metallband über eine Anzahl Rollen unter einer solchen Bandspannung geführt und in eine Förderrichtung bewegt wird, dass es zumindest zwischen zwei Rollen weitgehend eben ist, wobei in dem unter Zugspannung weitgehend ebenen Metallband zwischen den mindestens zwei Rollen die im Metallband wirkenden inneren Zugspannungen optisch sichtbar gemacht werden und die ermittelten Zugspannungen oder Zugspannungsdifferenzen bei der Herstellung des Metallbandes verwertet werden. Des weiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung eines Metallbandes.The invention relates to a method for producing a metal strip in which the metal strip is guided over a number of rollers under such a belt tension and moved in a conveying direction that it is largely flat at least between two rollers, wherein in the tensile metal under tension substantially flat metal band between the at least two rollers, the inner tensile stresses acting in the metal strip are made visually visible and the determined tensile stresses or tensile stress differences are utilized in the production of the metal strip. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for producing a metal strip.
Beim Walzen sowie Nachwalzen von Metallbändern ist die Planheit neben der Dicke und der Sauberkeit des Bandes ein entscheidender Qualitätsfaktor. Bei der Herstellung eines Metallbandes ist es daher erforderlich, zwecks Qualitätssicherung der Produktion eine Bandinspektion vorzunehmen, wobei im gegebenen Falle aufgrund des ermittelten Inspektionsergebnisses auf den Herstellungsprozess Einfluss genommen werden muss.When rolling and re-rolling metal strips, the flatness is a decisive quality factor in addition to the thickness and cleanliness of the strip. When producing a metal strip, it is therefore necessary to carry out a strip inspection for the purpose of quality assurance of the production, in which case the manufacturing process must be influenced in the given case on the basis of the determined inspection result.
Das Metallband wird hierzu im Anschluss an den Walzvorgang häufig einer Planheitsmessung unterzogen, wobei Unebenheiten des Bandes ermittelt werden sollen. Hierfür sind Planheitsmessrollen bekannt, die mit einer vorgegebenen Vorspannkraft gegen das unter Spannung geführte und bewegte Metallband gedrückt werden. Durch Messung der Abdrückung der Planheitsmessrolle infolge von Bandunebenheiten vom Metallband kann auf die vorliegenden Unebenheiten im Metallband geschlossen werden. Bekannt sind auch Systeme, die über Schwingungen die Spannungsunterschiede visualisieren.For this purpose, the metal strip is frequently subjected to a flatness measurement following the rolling process, with unevenness of the strip being determined. For this purpose, flatness measuring rollers are known which are pressed with a predetermined biasing force against the energized and moved metal strip. By measuring the removal of the flatness measuring roll as a result of unevenness in the strip from the metal strip, it is possible to deduce the present irregularities in the metal strip. Also known are systems that visualize the voltage differences via vibrations.
Unebenheiten im Metallband können nicht nur mittels kontaktierender Rollen, sondern auch kontaktlos ermittelt werden. Hierfür offenbart beispielsweise die
Die Planheit des Metallbandes kann auch mit einer Vorrichtung ermittelt werden, wie sie aus der
Ähnliche Systeme sind aus der
In all den vorgenannten Fällen werden Unebenheiten der Bandoberfläche gemessen und hierauf gegebenenfalls durch Veränderung der Prozessparameter reagiert.In all the aforementioned cases, unevennesses of the strip surface are measured and, if appropriate, reacted by changing the process parameters.
Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass insbesondere unter entsprechendem Bandzug das Messergebnis schwierig zu interpretieren ist, da in Abhängigkeit des Bandzuges, das im Metallband wirkt, die Planheit verändert wird. D. h. aufgrund des Bandzuges, dem das Walzgut beim Walzprozess ausgesetzt ist, lassen sich Spannungsunterschiede über die Bandbreite in Form von Welligkeiten bzw. Unplanheiten nicht oder nur schwer erkennen.It has been found that the measurement result is difficult to interpret, especially under a corresponding strip tension, since the flatness is changed as a function of the strip tension which acts in the metal strip. Ie. Due to the strip tension, which is exposed to the rolling stock during the rolling process, voltage differences over the bandwidth in the form of ripples or unevenness can not or only with difficulty be recognized.
Insbesondere ist es wünschenswert, dass die Spannungsverteilung über der Breite des Metallbandes visualisiert werden kann, um Rückschlüsse auf die Bandqualität ziehen zu können. Dabei soll die Vorrichtung für diese Ermittlung möglichst platzsparend sein und keinen hohen Aufwand bei der Installation und beim Betrieb erfordern.In particular, it is desirable that the stress distribution over the width of the metal strip can be visualized in order to be able to draw conclusions about the strip quality. The device should be as space-saving as possible for this determination and do not require much effort during installation and operation.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine zugehörige Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, dass es möglich ist, auch unter hoher Bandspannung die Informationen zu gewinnen, die eine Steuerung des Herstellprozesses in einer solcher Weise erlauben, dass die Bandqualität optimiert werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object, a method and an associated device of the type mentioned in such a way that it is possible to gain even under high belt tension information that allow control of the manufacturing process in such a way that optimizes the strip quality can be.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Erfindung verfahrensgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das Metallband mit einer Lichtquelle bestrahlt und mit zwei Kameras aus zwei unterschiedlichen Richtung aufgenommen wird.This object is achieved by the method according to the invention in that the metal strip is irradiated with a light source and recorded with two cameras from two different directions.
Im Unterschied zu vorbekannten Lösungen werden also die optisch sichtbaren Zugspannungen im Metallband vermessen und bei der Beurteilung der Bandqualität und ggf. der Steuerung bzw. Regelung des Herstellprozesses verwendet. Dabei werden also Unplanheiten des Bandes durch unterschiedliche Spannungszustände im Band erfasst und insoweit die Unplanheiten indirekt über die Spannungen beurteilt.In contrast to previously known solutions, therefore, the optically visible tensile stresses in the metal strip are measured and used in the assessment of the strip quality and possibly the control or regulation of the production process. Thus, unevenness of the band is detected by different states of tension in the band and insofar as the unevenness is assessed indirectly via the voltages.
Eine Fortbildung sieht vor, dass der auf das Metallband ausgeübte Bandzug in Abhängigkeit der ermittelten Zugspannungen im Metallband gewählt wird. Dabei wird bevorzugt so vorgegangen, dass bei steigender Zugspannung im Metallband der auf das Metallband ausgeübte Bandzug erhöht wird. Mittels Zuordnung einer höheren oder einer niedrigeren Einzelspannung kann also ein direkter Eingriff in den Regelkreislauf zur Planheitsbeeinflussung erfolgen.A further training provides that the strip tension exerted on the metal strip is selected as a function of the determined tensile stresses in the metal strip. In this case, preference is given to proceeding so that the strip tension exerted on the metal strip is increased as the tensile stress in the metal strip increases. By assigning a higher or a lower individual voltage can thus be a direct intervention in the control circuit for planarity control.
Die im Metallband wirkenden Zugspannungen, die mit dem genannten Vorgehen ermittelt werden können, werden bevorzugt mehrfach in kurzen zeitlichen Abständen ermittelt. Die Veränderung der im Metallband wirkenden Zugspannungen können durch den Vergleich einer Anzahl von in zeitlichem Abstand ermittelten Zugspannungen festgestellt werden. Mittels einer Vielzahl aufeinander folgender Bilder innerhalb kurzer Zeit lassen sich also Spannungsbilder auch für schnell bewegte Bänder darstellen.The tensile stresses acting in the metal band, which can be determined with the mentioned procedure, are preferably determined several times at short time intervals. The change in the tensile stresses acting in the metal strip can be determined by comparing a number of tensile stresses determined at a time interval. By means of a multiplicity of successive ones Images within a short time can thus also be tension pictures for fast moving tapes.
Die Vorrichtung zur Herstellung eines Metallbandes hat eine Anzahl Rollen, über die das Metallband unter einer solchen Bandspannung geführt und in eine Förderrichtung bewegt wird, dass es zumindest zwischen zwei Rollen weitgehend eben ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass zwischen zwei Rollen mindestens eine das Metallband beleuchtende Lichtquelle angeordnet ist und dass im Bereich der Lichtquelle zwei Kameras angeordnet sind, die das beleuchtete Metallband aufnehmen, wobei das System bestehend aus Lichtquelle und Kameras zur Ermittlung der im Metallband wirkenden Zugspannungen geeignet ist, wobei die beiden Kameras voneinander beabstandet angeordnet sind, so dass sie das Metallband aus zwei unterschiedlichen Richtungen aus aufnehmen.The device for producing a metal strip has a number of rollers over which the metal strip is guided under such a belt tension and moved in a conveying direction that it is largely flat at least between two rollers. According to the invention, at least one light source illuminating the metal strip is arranged between two rollers and two cameras are arranged in the region of the light source, which record the illuminated metal strip, the system consisting of light source and cameras being suitable for determining the tensile stresses acting in the metal strip wherein the two cameras are spaced apart so as to receive the metal strip from two different directions.
Die Kameras sind vorzugsweise digitaler Bauart.The cameras are preferably of digital design.
Ferner können Aufnahmemittel vorhanden sein, die das von der Kamera oder den Kameras aufgenommene Bild in kurzen zeitlichen Abständen abspeichern.Furthermore, recording means may be present which store the image taken by the camera or the cameras at short time intervals.
Schließlich kann vorgesehen werden, dass die Aufnahmemittel mit Auswertemitteln in Verbindung stehen, die zum Vergleich der von der Kamera oder den Kameras aufgenommenen Bildern geeignet sind.Finally, provision can be made for the recording means to be connected to evaluation means which are suitable for comparing the images recorded by the camera or the cameras.
Mit der vorgeschlagenen Vorgehensweise ist es möglich, das Metallband nach dem Walzen unter relativ hoher Spannung und damit weitgehend eben zu führen und dennoch feststellen zu können, wie es um die Unebenheit des Bandes - bei Wegnahme der hohen Spannung im Band - bestellt ist. Die ermittelten Zugspannungen geben einen guten Hinweis auf die Qualität des gefertigten Bandes, so dass im gegebenen Falle auf die Fertigungsparameter Einfluss genommen werden kann.With the proposed approach, it is possible to lead the metal strip after rolling under relatively high tension and thus largely flat and still be able to determine how it is ordered to the unevenness of the band - when removing the high voltage in the band. The determined tensile stresses give a good indication of the quality of the manufactured strip, so that in the given case the manufacturing parameters can be influenced.
Weitere Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Ansprüchen und der Beschreibung eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung. Die einzige Figur zeigt die Seitenansicht einer Walzvorrichtung für die Herstellung eines Metallbandes.Further features and details of the invention will become apparent from the claims and the description of an embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing. The single figure shows the side view of a rolling device for the production of a metal strip.
Das Metallband 1 wird im linken Bereich der Figur in einem Walzbereich von zwei Arbeitswalzen 11 und 12 gewalzt, die von zwei Stützwalzen 13 und 14 gestützt werden. Das Metallband 1 wird dann in eine Förderrichtung F mit vorgegebener Fördergeschwindigkeit gefördert, wobei es unter einer definierten Bandspannung S gehalten wird. Die Bandspannung S wird dadurch aufrecht erhalten, dass das Metallband 1 in der skizzierte Weise geführt wird, d. h. es wird insbesondere - auf der rechten Seite der Figur - mittels zwei Rollen 4 und 5 S-förmig geführt, so dass ein gewünschtes Niveau an Bandspannung S zwischen den Walzen 11, 12 und den Rollen 4, 5 aufrecht erhalten werden kann.The metal strip 1 is rolled in the left portion of the figure in a rolling range of two
Aufgrund der Bandspannung S weist das Metallband 1 einen hohen Planheitsgrad auf, d. h. die Oberflächenunebenheiten sind gering.Due to the belt tension S, the metal strip 1 has a high degree of flatness, d. H. the surface irregularities are low.
Zwischen zwei Rollen 2 und 3 wird das Metallband 1 daher weitgehend eben geführt. Dort ist eine Lichtquelle 6 angeordnet, mit der die Oberfläche des Metallbandes 1 beleuchtet werden kann. Weiterhin sind zwei Kameras 7 und 8 an zwei verschiedenen Orten angebracht, die von der Bandoberfläche zwei Bilder aufnehmen können.Between two rollers 2 and 3, the metal strip 1 is therefore guided largely flat. There, a light source 6 is arranged, with which the surface of the metal strip 1 can be illuminated. Furthermore, two
Das aus der Lichtquelle 6 und den Kameras 7 und 8 bestehende System, das für die Durchführung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorgehensweise tauglich ist, ist beispielsweise unter der Bezeichnung Q-400 als Digital 3D-Correlation System der Firma DANTEC Ettemeyer GmbH, Elchingen, Deutschland, (www.dantec-ettemeyer.com) bekannt und erhältlich. Das verfügbare System eignet sich gut, um innere Spannungen im weitgehend ebenen Metallband sichtbar zu machen und auszuwerten, auch wenn hierzu Bandzugschwankungen in geringem Maß notwendig werden sollten.The system consisting of the light source 6 and the
Die Kameras 7, 8 stehen mit einem Aufnahmemittel 9 in Verbindung, das dazu in der Lage ist, eine Vielzahl von Aufnahmen in kurzer Zeit abzuspeichern. Die aufgenommenen Bilder können in einem sich anschließenden Auswertemittel 10 ausgewertet werden, wobei es insbesondere möglich ist, die Verteilung der Zugspannungen im Metallband 1 sowie deren zeitliche Veränderung zu beo-bachten. In Abhängigkeit hiervon kann auf den Herstellungsprozess für das Metallband 1 Einfluss genommen werden.The
Bevorzugt wird im Metallband 1 bei der Messung der Spannungen ein Bandzug aufrecht erhalten, der mindestens 10 % der Streckgrenze des Materials des Metallbandes entspricht.Preferably, a strip tension is maintained in the metal strip 1 in the measurement of the voltages, which corresponds to at least 10% of the yield strength of the material of the metal strip.
Die Verwendung der ermittelten Spannungen oder Spannungsdifferenzen im Metallband 1 bei der Herstellung des Metallbandes 1 kann bereits darin bestehen, dass die Spannungen im Band beobachtet werden und nur im Bedarfsfall, d. h. wenn Spannungsverteilungsverhältnisse im Band einen unzulässigen Wert überschreiten, Maßnahmen ergriffen werden.The use of the determined voltages or voltage differences in the metal strip 1 in the manufacture of the metal strip 1 may already consist in that the stresses are observed in the strip and only in case of need, d. H. If voltage distribution ratios in the band exceed an impermissible value, measures are taken.
Es kann aber auch vorgesehen werden, dass die ermittelten Werte im geschlossenen Regelkreis direkt in den Herstellungsprozess des Metallbandes eingesteuert werden.However, it can also be provided that the values determined are controlled in the closed loop directly in the production process of the metal strip.
