Patent ID: 8356504

Claim:
A rolling method for producing a strip-type rolled product which has a rolled product start and a rolled product end, comprising: rolling the product to a first desired dimension in a rolling gap of a rolling stand, starting with the rolled product start; determining in an ongoing manner by a control computer which point of the rolled product is currently in the rolling gap, while the rolled product is being rolled in the rolling stand; and terminating rolling the rolled product to the first desired dimension and raising the rolling stand when the point of the rolled product currently in the rolling gap corresponds to a previously determined first change point of the rolled product, which is located between the rolled product start and the rolled product end, such that a first step is introduced into the rolled product at the first change point and the rolled product passes through the rolling gap without being worked after the rolling stand has been raised, wherein, when the rolled product has passed through the rolling gap to the rolled product end, starting with the rolled product end, the rolled product is rolled to a second desired dimension, until the point currently in the rolling gap corresponds to a second change point, which is located between the first change point and the rolled product end.
