ABSTRACT:
A continuous edge of a strip of material is processed as it moves in a direction along the length of the strip. The condition of the continuous edge of the moving strip is inspected after it has been processed. The strip is cut into pieces. And the pieces are sorted into groups in response to the condition of the edge. The edge is continuously monitored by a pair of parallel, closely spaced laser beams. A visualization system includes a camera, a monitor, and a storage systems. The camera images an edge of the moving strip of material. The monitor, coupled to the camera, displays images captured by the camera. The storage system, coupled to the camera and the monitor, stores images captured by the camera. The monitor is capable of displaying the stored images.
