Abstract
An uncoiling device having an uncoiler for uncoiling a strip is described. The uncoiler is arranged downstream from a thickness measuring device which measures the thickness of the unwound strip. Said thickness measuring device is arranged downstream from a straightening device which straightens the unwound strip. Said straightening device is arranged downstream from a machining device which further machines the straightened strip. The thickness of the trip is transmitted to a control device which controls the straightening machine and/or the machining device in accordance with the measured thickness of the strip.

An uncoiling device, comprising:
- an uncoiler for uncoiling a strip;
- a thickness measuring device disposed downstream of the uncoiler and provided for measuring a thickness of a uncoiled strip;
- a leveling machine disposed downstream of the thickness measuring device and provided for leveling the uncoiled strip;
- a height measuring device disposed downstream of the leveling machine and provided for registering a height position of a leveled strip;
- a machining device disposed downstream of the height measuring device and provided for further machining the leveled strip;
- and
- a control device which receives the thickness of the uncoiled strip measured by the thickness measuring device and the registered height position, wherein the control device determines control values for the leveling machine based upon a determining rule as a function of the measured thickness of the uncoiled strip and controls the leveling machine, wherein the determining rule is adapted by the control device as a function of the registered height position.
