Abstract
A new rolling mill configuration is provided containing fourteen rolls and which may be described as an improved six-high arrangement. The mill contains two substantially identical upper and lower roll clusters. Each roll cluster comprises a floating work roll, a chock mounted intermediate roll and a chock mounted back-up roll. The work roll is supported laterally by a pair of chock mounted side intermediate rolls and each side intermediate roll is supported by a single side backing roller assembly. The chocks of each side intermediate roll and the adjacent side backing roller assembly are supported by an adjustable stationary rigid support beam assembly.
