SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THREADING A HOT COIL ON A MILL
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of threading a metal substrate on a rolling mill comprising:
- receiving a coil of the metal substrate, wherein the coil of the metal substrate comprises a foil layer between adjacent layers of the metal substrate within the coil;
uncoiling the metal substrate from the coil; and
guiding the metal substrate to a work stand of the rolling mill with a threading system,wherein uncoiling the metal substrate from the coil comprises separating the foil layer from the metal substrate before guiding the metal substrate to the work stand.
