Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for depositing a metal coil (200) on two stationary support points (110-1; 110-2). In order to be able to deposit even metal coils that have high internal residual stress in a stable manner on the two support points, according to the invention, a third support point (140) is pivoted against the outer circumference of the metal coil (200) if needed).
Claims25
A method of depositing a metal coil on a first stationary support point and a second stationary point of a device, characterized by the following steps:
- checking and determining whether the metal strip rests or would rest on both stationary support points in an unstable equilibrium position;
- and
- in affirmative,
- depositing the metal coil on the two stationary support points as long as it was not carried out before within the frame of checking the equilibrium position;
- and
- placing at least one third movable support point against the outer circumference of the metal coil for stabilizing the metal coil on the device.
A method of depositing a metal coil on a first stationary support point and a second stationary support point of a device, characterized by the following steps:
- checking if the following condition is met:
- the diameter of the metal coil is smaller than a threshold diameter, and the thickness of the metal strip is greater than a threshold thickness, and the strength of the material of the metal strip is greater than a threshold strength;
- and when the condition is met:
- manipulating determination that the metal coil would rest on both stationary support points;
- depositing the metal coil on both stationary support points as long s it has not been done already before;
- and
- placing at least one third movable support point against the outer circumference of the metal coil for stabilizing the metal coil on the device.
