Abstract
A method and an arrangement for the controlled formation of loops of rolling stock between two roll stands, particularly in the finishing or intermediate trains of small and medium iron trains. In the method, the rolling stock emerging from the roll stand is allowed to drop as a result of gravity, the front end of the rolling stock is then deflected in the direction of the subsequent roll stand and the rolling stock is temporarily supported during the deflection phase until the front end of the rolling stock has entered the subsequent stand and the loop control unit stabilizes the loop. The arrangement for carrying out the above-described method includes a support and guide member for at least the rear roll stand of two roll stands. The support and guide member is inclined downwardly and extends toward the front roll stand.
