Abstract

A system and method for extending work roll useful life and controlling workpiece profile during thickness gauge reduction of continuous metal strip by axially shifting rotating work rolls during rolling, applying work roll bending forces at locations for maximum leverage and enabling work roll dressing apparatus to be located such that detrimental strip processing conditions of the working zone are not encountering by the dressing apparatus; shortening of work roll length is made possible by the location of the dressing apparatus.
