完结金属轧制进程的设备。泛指完结轧材出产全进程的配备，包含有首要设备、辅佐设备、起重运输设备和隶属设备等。但一般所说的轧机往往仅指首要设备。据说在14世纪欧洲就有轧机设备生产厂家，但有记载的是1480年意大利人达·芬奇（Leonardo da Vinci）规划出轧机的草图。1553年法国人布律列尔(Brulier)轧制出金和银板材,用以制作钱币。尔后在西班牙、比利时和英国相继呈现轧机。

Equipment for completing the metal rolling process. It generally refers to the equipment that completes the entire process of rolling material production, including main equipment, auxiliary equipment, lifting and transportation equipment, and affiliated equipment, etc. However, when people generally refer to rolling mills, they usually only mean primary equipment. It is said that there were manufacturers of rolling mill equipment in Europe as early as the 14th century. However, it is recorded that in 1480, the Italian Leonardo da Vinci sketched out the rolling mill. In 1553, the Frenchman Brulier rolled out gold and silver plates to make coins. Subsequently, rolling mills emerged successively in Spain, Belgium and the United Kingdom.
