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 23):
The apparatus of  claim 16 ,\n wherein the measuring device is configured to measure the thickness of the strip along the length of the strip in a first region of the strip out of which a first sheet metal blank is to be cut, and in a second region of the strip which adjoins the first region and out of which a second sheet metal blank is to be cut, wherein the electronic control unit (ECU) is configured so as to calculate the target position for the first sheet metal blank to be cut out of the strip depending on the measured thickness profile of at least the first region and the second region of the strip.
