Abstract:
A process includes flexible rolling of a strip made of a metallic material, wherein a thickness profile with different sheet thicknesses along the length of the strip is produced such that successive regions of the flexibly rolled strip each correspond to a target thickness profile of a sheet metal blank to be cut out of same; determining a measured thickness profile of a plurality of successive regions of the strip; calculating a target position in the strip for a sheet metal blank to be cut out of the strip depending on the generated measured thickness profile of at least two successive regions of the strip; cutting the flexibly rolled strip by at least one cutting device along the target position for producing the sheet meal blank. A plant is further provided for producing a sheet metal blank.

Claim (Index 22):
The apparatus of  claim 16 ,\n further comprising a feed arrangement for feeding the strip, wherein the feed arrangement includes a first feed device that is arranged in front of the cutting device and a second feed device that is arranged behind the cutting device, wherein the first feed device and the second feed device are controllable such that the strip is tensionable between the first feed device and the second feed device.
