Tube Rolling Mill Breaking Point Alignment

The patent employs sensing elements (cameras) that detect the actual positions of predetermined breaking points in each strip and feed this information back to a computer control system. The computer calculates alignment deviations and automatically adjusts the timing of breaking point introduction for each strip, creating a closed-loop feedback system that compensates for temperature fluctuations and loading variations, thereby maintaining high alignment accuracy despite changing conditions.

The patent uses multiple independent sensing elements (cameras) assigned to different strips, where each sensing element performs the same function of detecting breaking point positions. This universal approach allows the system to handle any number of strips with identical detection capabilities, providing flexibility in production while the computer coordinates all strips through a unified control algorithm that manages the complexity of multi-strip coordination.

The patent replaces complex mechanical coordination systems with an automated optical-electronic control system. Instead of using mechanical devices to physically synchronize the positions of breaking points across multiple strips, the invention uses cameras to detect positions and a computer to calculate and execute timing adjustments, substituting mechanical complexity with a more precise and controllable electronic regulation system.
