Abstract: Method for coiling and on-line inspection of a continuously-rolled metal strip, involving continuous coiling on at least one mandrel of a coiling station, preferably of carousel type, wherein: the strip is cut by a shears situated before the coiling station, advances over a certain length on an insertion table so as to at least partially cover this table and is then cut a second time by the shears in order to obtain a specimen; —the coiling performed on the mandrel is terminated and the coil is discharged from the coiling station; at the same time, the insertion table bearing the specimen is moved parallel to the rolling-coiling line until it lies in an inspection line comprising an inspection table; —the specimen is inspected on the inspection table so that faults can be detected; —once the specimen has left the insertion table, the latter is placed back in the rolling-coiling line.

Abstract: Method for coiling and on-line inspection of a continuously-rolled metal strip, involving a step of continuous coiling on at least one mandrel (10, 20) of a coiling station (3), preferably of carousel type, characterized by at least the following steps: the strip is cut by a shears (4) situated before the coiling station, advances over a certain length on an insertion table (6) so as to at least partially cover this table and is then cut a second time by the shears (4) in order to obtain a specimen;—the coiling of the coil performed (1, 1?, 1?, etc.
