The automatic roll change of the finishing mill is divided into four stages:
1. Preparation stage before changing rolls
2. Equipment downtime before roll change
3. Roll changing stage
4. Equipment recovery stage after roll change
- Roll change process in preparation stage before roll change:
1. The roll changing trolley pushes the new roll from the initial position E1 (roller room) to the roll changing translation cover (E7) in front of the finishing mill (the translation cover is located on the side of the flying shear);
2. The roll changing trolley moves back to position E6, and the translation cover moves to the side of the coiler;
3. The roller changing trolley advances to position E11;
- Equipment downtime before roll change
Shutdown process before roll change (switch to roll change mode):
1. The rolling mill has thrown steel;
2. The cooling water of the rolling mill is all closed;
3. The CVC of the rolling mill moves to the roll changing position;
4. The AGC of the rolling mill is in the unloading position;

Encountered failures and solutions
Fault 1. The cable reel motor tripped during the movement of the roller changing trolley.
In most cases, the problem is manifested as overcurrent of the cable drum motor, and thermal relay protection breaking in the MCC control cabinet.
Solution: After point inspection or electrical maintenance personnel reset the thermal relay in the MCC cabinet, notify the operator to reset the fault on the HMI screen
Fault 2: The translation cover of the roller changer does not move in place or cannot move.
There are two main reasons for this failure:
1) The translation cover does not move or only moves for a short distance; 2) The translation cover has been translated in place (see whether it is aligned on site), but the operation screen is not displayed in place;
Solution:
1) Check whether there is jamming on the translation cover, and solve it by manually poking the valve. The traversing system of the translation cover plate is controlled by a proportional valve. Before poking the valve, you should contact the operator to confirm that the on-site personnel are in a safe position, and you can just poke lightly;
2) If it is indeed in place on site, contact Ershi Metallurgy’s electrical personnel to check whether the position of the proximity switch and the detection signal are normal, and replace it if it is abnormal;
Fault 3：CVC roll shifting is not in place
1. The automatic sequence of roll change mode CVC roll shifting is not in place: after confirming that the work roll is in a balanced state, the mode can be switched again and the automatic sequence can be re-executed;
2. There are no rolls in the rolling mill for a long time (when repairing and recovering), and the position of a certain CVC hydraulic cylinder is incorrect: when the CVC roll shifting is in manual or automatic mode, the forced position is set to 0 Action hydraulic cylinder: Nx-RS_WR_REF (G2)
3. If the positions on both sides of the entrance and exit are consistent and the position value is within 1mm, the sealing operation can be considered
Fault 4: AGC cannot reach the unloading position
According to the fault alarm, the inspection personnel confirm on the spot:
1. Whether the actual position of the AGC cylinder is at the unloading position;
2. Whether the proximity switch detection is normal;
3. Whether the solenoid valve of the hydraulic system controlling the AGC is energized correctly;
4. Is there any foreign matter stuck on the AGC cylinder?
Fault 5: The axis positioning signal is lost
The shaft positioning signal sent by the transmission is lost, and the temporary program can be closed:
N3_RC-IN_SOFTWA_I ( G3 ) \LQD552.OR changed from 16#0000 to 16#0200
After the roller change is completed, the sealing point will be released.
Fault 6: The work roll balance action is not in place
1. Check whether the signal output of the solenoid valve is normal
If the signal is normal, but the shut-off valve does not move, the valve can be stabbed temporarily to ensure the balance system moves. Then check the solenoid valve head and electromagnet
2. Check whether the proportional valve has output
Fault 7. The looper is not in place
1. Confirm the actual position of the looper on site: when the actual position is reached, but the HMI display is not in place, the angle of the code disc of the looper can be temporarily adjusted or the operator can re-calibrate and then move the looper.
2. Confirm that the rolling mill exit guide and roller wiper are in position to prevent mechanical jamming.
Fault 7 The entrance and exit guides and roller wipers are not in place
1. Check the actual position of the guide and guard on site and the signal of the proximity switch
2. Check the actual position of the roller rubbing device and the pressure value displayed by the pressure switch
3. If necessary, the valve action equipment can be poked first to ensure that the roller is changed
Fault 8 lifting track
Before pushing the roller, confirm whether it is in place.
Check that there is no action on site, and confirm whether the signal of the proximity switch is normal and whether the signal of the solenoid valve on the valve table on the machine is correct. If the signal of the proximity switch is normal and the solenoid valve is energized, you can manually poke the valve to change the roller first, and then check the valve head and electromagnet. If you can’t manually poke the solenoid valve, replace the solenoid valve;
Fault 10. The shaft head is not hugged tightly during the roll changing process.
There may be two reasons:
1) Check the scene to see if it has been hugged and the proximity switch has been turned on;
2) If there is no action on site, check whether the signal of the solenoid valve on the valve table on the machine is correct. If the solenoid valve has been powered on, you can manually poke the valve and change the roller first, and then check the valve head and electromagnet. The solenoid valve must be replaced if it cannot be moved manually;
Fault 11 The work roll locking baffle cannot be opened/closed
1) Check the site to see if there is any jamming phenomenon; whether the position of the roller changing trolley is in place
2) Check whether the signal of the solenoid valve on the valve table on the machine is correct. If the solenoid valve has been powered on, you can manually poke the valve and change the roller first, and then check the valve head and electromagnet after being confirmed by someone on site. If it cannot be moved manually, the solenoid valve must be replaced;
3) Whether the connection part of the hydraulic cylinder is disengaged
Fault 12 The automatic timing ladder pad cannot be adjusted in place
After automatic sequence stop
1. Confirm that the roll data is correct
2. Confirm whether the balance pressure of the backup roller is 130Bar. If the backup roll is not in a balanced state, the operator needs to make adjustments: switch the control mode back to the rolling mode, switch the backup roll balance to Off mode, and then switch back to the Auto mode to check and confirm the balance pressure of the backup roll. (Multiple mode switching operations may be required)
3. After confirming that the status is normal, notify the operator to switch back to the roll changing mode and perform manual adjustment of the step pad.
