Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19940664C1] Gives a pilot setting for rollers of a calender. The internal support (15) for the lower roller (4) is subjected to pressure, and to close the nips (18,19), the external/ internal supports (13,4) for the lower roller (15) are subjected to an increasing pressure. The effective pressure at the outer and inner supports (11,13,15) is registered at the moment when the upper nip (18) is fully closed. The internal support (15) for the lower roller (4) is subjected to pressure so that the roller mantle (14) forms a cylinder around its horizontal axis. The pressure from one support (15) to the lower roller is followed by pressure from the other support (13). To close the upper nip (18), the pressure is reduced at the inner support (11) for the upper roller. The same pressure is applied to all the inner and outer support systems (11,13,15), and the pressure change is continued automatically until the point when the upper nip (18) is fully closed. The pressure change for the inner support (15) for the lower roller is set so that the ends of the mantle are at a constant gap from the roller carrier (12). Compensation is made for the overhanging weights, for at least one center roller (3). An Independent claim is included for a calender assembly with a measurement system (20,21) at least one end of the uppermost nip (18), to generate a signal when the nip (18) is closed. A unit which receives the signal is triggered to register the pressure at the supports (11,13,15). The measurement units (20,21) have an optical action, where a light chamber is interrupted when the nip (18) is closed. A control sets the pressure for the inner or outer supports (15) for the lower roller (4), to keep the ends of the mantle at a constant gap from the roller carrier (12).
