ABSTRACT:
A positioning roller assembly for use when cold rolling a tube includes first and second positioning rollers disposed for initial contact with a tube surface, and a mechanism for maintaining contact of the first and second positioning rollers relative to the tube surface during groove rolling. The first positioning roller is positioned to apply a first initial predetermined load to the tube and the second positioning roller is positioned to apply a second, smaller initial predetermined load to the tube. The mechanism acts on the tube in a manner to equalize the loads to offset the tube during cold rolling. The positioning rollers also apply a downward load to the tube during cold rolling to, e.g., reduce tube end flaring when cold rolling a groove in a steel pipe and stabilize a cold rolling machine when cold rolling outward steps in a copper pipe.
