METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRECISELY POSITIONING A NUMBER OF INTERACTING ROLLER OR ROLL ELEMENTS

The invention relates to a method for precisely positioning a plurality of interacting roller or cylindrical elements (2, 3, 4) of a rolling or casting installation (1) in relation to each other. In order to allow a rapid and precise adjusting of the roller or cylindrical elements, the distance (a6, a7, a8, a9) between at least three reference points (6, 7, 8, 9) arranged on every of the roller or cylindrical elements (2, 3, 4) and the measuring device (5) is measured using said measuring device (5) and adjusting elements (10, 11, 12) on every roller or cylindrical element (2, 3, 4) are actuated, depending on the result of measurement, in such a manner that the distances (a6, a7, a8, a9) between the reference points (6, 7, 8, 9) and the measuring device (5) correspond to each other to a maximum, the measuring points (6, 7, 8, 9) of every roller or cylindrical element (2, 3, 4) being arranged directly or indirectly on a support element (13) of the roller or cylindrical element (2, 3, 4). The invention also relates to a rolling or casting installation, especially for carrying out the inventive method.
