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.

Claims (27)

1. 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.

2. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thickness measuring device is a distance-based thickness measuring device.

3. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the thickness measuring device scans one side of the strip.

4. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the strip runs over a reference roller at a point at which the strip is scanned by the thickness measuring device.

5. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the uncoiler is controlled by the control device.

6. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the uncoiler is additionally controlled by the control device.

7. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the thickness measuring device scans two sides of the strip.

8. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the uncoiler is controlled by the controlled device.

9. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the uncoiler is controlled by the control device.

10. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the uncoiler is controlled by the control device.

11. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the machining device has a plurality of devices, wherein a first device of the plurality of devices, which is located next to the leveling machine, is embodied in form of shears.

12. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein a second device of the plurality of devices, which is located downstream of the shears, is a welding device for welding the leveled-strip to another strip.

13. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein a third device of the plurality of devices, which is located downstream of the welding device, is embodied as a strip store for buffering the other strip.

14. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the machining device has a plurality of devices, wherein a first device of the plurality of devices, which is located next to the leveling machine, is embodied in form of shears.

15. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 14 , wherein a second device of the plurality of devices, which is located downstream of the shears, is a welding device for welding the strip to another strip.

16. The uncoiling device as claimed in claim 15 , wherein a third device of the plurality of devices, which is located downstream of the welding device, is embodied as a strip store for buffering the other strip.
