  • Selecting the cut-off end portion of rolled sheet stock
    Patent number: 4559819
    Abstract: The method as described is an attempt to minimize the length of the sheet stock to be cut off at the end of rolled stock as waste. This minimizing should be carried out on-line, and it is suggested that immediately following straightening the rolled sheet stock, the surface temperature profile in the end region and beyond is measured in a contactless method for determining on-line the place of cutting; cutting may then be controlled accordingly.
