The Gap between the rings in the stacks.


Some reasons for the gap between.

1. The axial roll wearness.
        → replace the axial roll with new one
2. Rippling(twisting or bending) of the ring
        → find the reason of rippling and solve it

The process of making a ring

Image
The process for manufacturing ring rolling products is as follows: Cutting →  Heating →  Blanking →  Ring Rolling →  Heat treatment →  Machining The blanking and ring rolling processes are main forging processes among these processes. I’ve introduced the ring rolling process before, I’ll introduce the blanking process this time. Blanking is the process of making a preform for ring rolling. Blanking processes are 1. cogging, 2. upsetting, 3. punching and 4. piercing. The cogging process is a process to make a square material into a circle, and it is not necessary if you use a round bar as a raw material.  The upsetting process is the process of compressing the material in the longitudinal direction.  The punching process is the process of inserting a punch to make holes in the material.  A piercing process is a process of punching holes in a material.  This is the finished prefor...

Controlling the movement of the axial stand in the ring mill

Image
Two steps to control the movement of the axial stand in the ring mill We know what the axial stand is and how it moves( Movement of the axial stand in the ring mill ).  As we know, the axial stand moves backward as the ring grows.  And now I’ll explain how the ring rolling machine developers like me control the axial stand’s movement.  You may not be a ring rolling machine develper, but it could be helpful to troubleshoot the problems with axial stand’s movement if you understand how it works and is being controlled. When the vertex of the axial roll coincides with the center of the ring, there’s no slip between the ring and the roll(main roll or axial roll).   So we control the position of the axial stand to be coincided with the center of the ring.  But when the ring grows and reaches the maximun range of the axial roll, we cannot make the vertex of the axial roll be coincided with the center of the ring.  We need to change the way we control the sta...

Controlling the roation speed of main roll

Image
I explained that the rotation speed of the main roll is constant in the ring rolling machine( Rotation speed control of axial roll ). But it isn’t constant in the CALTEK ring mill. I’ll tell you why the rotation speed of the main motor is not constant in our ring mill. Increasing the rotation speed of the roll during rolling can reduce the rolling force because the coefficient of friction between the roll and the workpiece becomes smaller.  That’s why I always ask the ring mill operators to make the rotation speed of the main roll as fast as possible.  However, if the size of the ring is small, the ringmill operator should not rotate the main motor in the maximum speed. I’ll explain the reason with this ring mill belows: * Main motor rpm : 0 ~1,200 * Main roll gear box reducer ratio : 1/40 * Axial roll cone angle : 40 * Axial roll gear box reducer ratio : 1/10 * Axial motor rpm : 0~1,400 * TR range : 200~600 Tis is a graph of the rotational speed of the axial motor according t...
