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 strip. The thickness measuring device is arranged downstream from a straightening device which straightens the strip. The straightening device is arranged downstream from a machining device which further machines the strip. The thickness of the strip 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.
Claims16
An uncoiling device, comprising:
- an uncoiler for uncoiling a strip;
- a thickness measuring device disposed downstream of the uncoiler for measuring a thickness of the strip;
- a leveling machine disposed downstream of the thickness measuring device for leveling the strip;
- a height measuring device disposed downstream of the leveling machine for registering a height position of the strip;
- a machining device disposed downstream of the height measuring device for machining the strip;
- and
- a control device which receives
- the thickness of the strip measured by the thickness measuring device and
- the height position registered by the height measuring device,
- wherein the control device determines control values for the leveling machine based upon a determining rule as a function of the thickness of the strip,
- wherein the control device controls the leveling machine, and
- wherein the control device adapts the determining rule as a function of the height position.
