Abstract:
A stoning or honing device for automatically applying an essentially constant and uniform pressure of an abrasive hard component onto a suspended portion of a continuously moving metal strip surface, for the purpose of defect visual inspection, includes: a main frame supporting at least one carriage bearing a hard component, the carriage being connected to a drive system for moving the hard component towards the metal strip and to apply a controlled contact pressure thereof on the metal strip surface; and a means for moving transversally and back and forth at a defined speed the hard component bearing carriage with respect to a continuous motion direction of the strip. The device includes, on each strip side, a plurality of hard component bearing carriages having each a defined width stroke and arranged according to at least three different locations respectively associated with three separate rails including drive and control systems.

Claim (Index 14):
The stoning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the means for moving transversally and back and forth at a defined speed the hard component bearing carriage with respect to the continuous motion direction of the strip is arranged so as to permit each carriage to be driven separately, preferably by using a belt, a tooth belt, a cable, or a rack.
