Abstract
A method and an apparatus for correcting a feeding distance of a strip or cutting, involves feeding the strip over the feeding distance in a feeding direction towards a cutting line that extends at an oblique cutting angle to the feeding direction; detecting a lateral position of a first longitudinal edge of the strip in a lateral direction perpendicular to the feeding direction; wherein, when the detected lateral position is offset over an offset distance in the lateral direction with respect to a reference position for the first longitudinal edge at the measuring line, and adjusting the feeding distance with a correction distance that is related to the offset distance in a ratio that is defined by the cutting angle.
