Abstract
Device and method for aligning bandsaw blade strip ends prior to welding, comprising at least six displacement sensors disposed on a welding apparatus for measuring locations of two strip ends relative to a reference line, a microcomputer which calculates, from the sensor measurements, the position, direction and curvature of each strip end at the weld line, and a display showing whether the difference of position and direction between the strip ends is within predetermined limits.
