  • Process for cropping the head of self-luminous rolled material, especially metal strips and system for cropping the head
    Patent number: 4497192
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for cropping the head of self-luminous rolled material, especially metal strips when it passes a rolling train. A line scanning camera is used for detecting the shape of the head by repeatedly generating optical images of the rolled material immediately downstream of the last roughing stand. The distance separating the cutting line from the beginning of the head is determined in accordance with the shape of the head. Immediately upstream a pair of shears the velocity and the beginning of the head are detected. A control signal for the shears is generated in accordance with the signals for the beginning of the head and for its velocity and with the distance of the cutting line from the beginning of the head.
