Abstract (en)

A rolling machine is provided with worm driven rolls (14) which are positionally adjustable with respect to the remaining roll (12), the worm wheels (14a) being mounted on the driven rolls (14) and the worm (18) being driven by means of an external power source. Synchronisation of the rolls is automatic and positional adjustment is simplified. A machine which allows horizontal and vertical adjustment is described.
