In slitting lines, a wider coil of metal sheet is unwound and cut lengthwise into several strips, usually of equal width. These strips are wound up again in parallel under constant tension and with straight edges. Usually, the coils are processed coil by coil and not from a sequence of welded coils. Each coiled strip is considered as a product coil.
Key features
-
Multiple rings of equal length are produced from one entry coil.
-
The measured values over the full strip profile are stored equally for all partial coils.
-
One entry coil is used to create n product coils and, consequently, n product files.
-
The assignment of location-specific measurement values to the respective strip can be performed during the post-processing of the measurement files, e.g., for strips at the edge and strips in the center.
