Abstract

The apparatus draws metal bands/sheets between two continuous chain systems having roller blocks to clamp the sheets. The elastic coating is shaped and supplied with linings to fulfill the required task. The apparatus is pivoted, so that the band is tangentially fed to the coil. It has electric linear motor drive, and floats in leaf springs, which determine reaction forces by using load cells. The roller blocks carry magnetic coils or permanent magnets. Surface flatness is measured by a rotating roller or similar, which are incorporated in the elastic coating.
