PROJECT BACKGROUND
Bluetip Engineering Consulting Inc is requested to design and supply a four high mill stand. This machine will have the capability to temper roll hot band steel coils and cut the coils to a specified length.
The main function of the machine is to improve material elongation and thus minimizing material cracking problems such us Leuder Lines.
There are secondary improvements in areas of shape, gage, tolerances and surface finishing.

Machine System Overview
This mill design will incorporate the latest technology for system performance, reliability, and control including: Hydraulic screw-down system for AGC control, work roll positive bending system to control the product flatness over full product range, and a roll quick change system.
The Mill is designed for heavy duty industrial use and will sustain year round operation.

• L1, L2 and L3- are the length of the crossbeams and the posts along the neutral line
• I1, I2 and I3- are the moments of inertial of the top cross beam, the posts and the bottom cross beam
• M1-bending moment in the cross beam
• M2-bending moment in the post• P1-half the force of P in this

Housing Frame Weld Assembly
Consists of two housing sides which are constructed separately and connected together using top and bottom beams.
Once welded together and rough machined, the Housing Weld Assembly is annealed for stress relief before final machining.
Raw Material Used is: Steel Casting ASTM 27 Grade70-40

Middle Block
The middle blocks are located one on each side of the Mill Housing windows; serve as vertical guides for the work rolls chocks.
The middle blocks are bored, drilled and tapped for the roll bending and back-up roll balance Cylinders, and the work roll end
stop guide pins
The middle block material is AISI C1045

Back-up Roll End Stops
The end stops lock the operator side back-up roll chock assemblies into the roll housing.
There are two end stops per chock assembly one at each side of the operator’s side housing.
End stop data is as follows:-Lock plate: fabricated and machined from steel plate; drilled for stop guide pins and cylinder rod-end pin-Cylinder: Parker
