- A rolling apparatus according to claim 2, characterised by comprising two middle rollers (50a, 50b) rotatably supported on the frame, each middle roller being disposed adjacent to said two main rollers (36, 37), and a plurality of guide rollers (48) rotatably mounted on the frame (40, 41) at positions remote from the middle rollers (50a, 50b), the workpiece being guided by the guide rollers (48) between one of the two main rollers (36, 37) and the two middle rollers and then subsequently guided between the other main roller and the two middle rollers.
- A rolling apparatus according to claim 2, characterised by comprising a plurality of auxiliary rollers (51) of magnetic material disposed one after the other between the two main rollers (36, 37), a plurality of auxiliary frames (53) disposed between the two main rollers and each rotatably supporting a respective auxiliary roller (51), a plurality of solenoids (52) each disposed on a respective auxiliary frame (53) for magnetising the respective auxiliary roller (51), and a plurality of guide rollers (48) rotatably supported on the frame at locations remote from the auxiliary rollers (51), the workpiece (49) being guided by the guide rollers (48) between one of the two main rollers and one of the auxiliary rollers (51) and then guided by the guide rollers (48) between each pair of auxiliary rollers (51) until it passes between the other main roller and the adjacent auxiliary roller (51).
- A rolling apparatus according to any of claims 2 to 5, characterised in that the pressing force applied to the workpiece (49) can be controlled by controlling the electric current supplied to the solenoids (46, 47).
