Abstract

A method and apparatus for automatically and continuously producing multiple blanks from a coil of sheet material with a minimum of scrap. The apparatus utilizes pinch rolls to advance and retract the sheet material from a coil, while simultaneously a cutter, such as plasma torch, moves transversely to the moving sheet material. Movement of the cutter and sheet material is controlled and coordinated so as to make the desired cuts in the sheet material and produce the blanks of the desired configuration.
