ABSTRACT:
A continuous contact gage (10) for use in strip rolling processes has a main support frame (12) upon which is suspended a floating frame (22). The floating frame is suspended from four extension springs (24,26,28,30) such that the floating frame may translate in any direction and tilt about any horizontal axis. A torsion bar (36), mounted for lateral sliding movement, engages the floating frame in such a manner as to prevent any pivoting about the vertical axis so that the axes of the upper and lower gage rollers (60,62) of the gage head assembly will always remain perpendicular to the direction of strip movement. The gage head assembly is mounted upon the floating frame for vertical sliding movement and is urged upwardly by springs (90,94) attached to the floating frame to establish firm engagement between the lower gage roller and the undersurface of the strip. Two guide roll assemblies (120,122) respectively mounted upon the sides of the floating frame assure that the axes of the upper and lower gage rollers will always remain parallel to the surface of the strip, irrespective of the attitude of the floating frame.
