A continuous edge of a strip of material (14) is processed as it moves in a direction along the length of the strip. The condition of the continuous edg e of the moving strip is inspected after it has been processed. The strip is c ut into pieces. And the pieces are sorted into groups in response to the condition of the edge. The edge is continuously monitored by a pair of parallel, closely spaced laser beams. A visualization system (25) includes a camera, a monitor, and a storage system. The camera images an edge of the moving strip of material. The monitor, coupled to the camera, displays image s captured by the camera. The storage system, coupled to the camera and the monitor, stores images captured by the camera. The monitor is capable of displaying the stored images. |
