Abstract:
An apparatus for producing a honeycomb body, comprising:a first roll part configured to supply a thin metal flat sheet via several rolls; a first part configured for measuring a value of a length of a feed of the flat sheet as the flat sheet is fed through the first roll part; a second roll part configured to supply a corrugated sheet, such that the corrugated sheet overlaps onto the flat sheet via several rolls; a winding roll for a honeycomb body, wherein the winding roll is made by folding the overlapping flat sheet and the corrugated sheet into a roll; a second part for measuring a value of a rotation angle of the winding roll; and a control part, coupled to the first part and the second part, wherein the control part comprises: a set-up part configured to set a length of the outer circumference of the honeycomb body to be produced; an input part configured to receive one or more values from the first part and one or more values from the second part; a computation part configured receive values from the input part and to carry out a computation to stop the winding operation at a desirable length based on the values received from the input part; and an output part, wherein the output part transmits one or more signals from the computation part to control the winding roll.
