Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for processing data relating to coordinates of a surface, hereinafter referred to as surface data, a method and a device for quality evaluation of strip material, and a method for quality management of strip materials.
- a Surface inspection is carried out regularly by specially trained personnel, who either inspect the surface themselves (i.e. monitor it continuously) or use an automatic system for surface inspection. Such systems monitor the surface of the strip material, for example with cameras, and various monitoring principles are known. Other data that do not necessarily describe anomalies, such as the thickness of the material, surface roughness, temperature profile of a heat treatment, etc., can be determined using various measuring methods and assigned to the individual surface points.
- the method according to the invention is used to prepare data of a strip material, in particular metal and / or paper strips, the data being in the form of data records which can be assigned according to the coordinates of the strip surface and information about the quality of the strip and its surface and / or if necessary existing anomaly.
- At least some of the data records are grouped and stored in cells based on predefinable grouping rules, the geometric arrangement of which on a screen or other visualization medium has a topological similarity to a tape surface, the content of the cells being used for electronic processing and / or linking to other cells or other data is made available, in particular the content of a cell can not only be one-dimensional, but can contain and provide source data, grouping rules and / or processing formulas.
- cells that have been grouped and defined in terms of content permit automation in subsequent quality assessments, the accessibility and changeability of the cells and cell contents is of great practical use.
- a topological similarity between the band surface and the display of the data helps a user with intuitive operation when changes to the cell contents and their links are to be made.
- a topological similarity does not have to mean the scale representation of the entire band surface, but can refer to a distorted representation of all or part of the surface. It is important that the part just depicted roughly corresponds to the constellation of the surface points or surface areas under consideration on the strip surface.
- the invention it is particularly preferred to display such cells, in particular on a screen, in the form of at least one spreadsheet with a plurality of cells arranged in rows and columns.
- Spreadsheets for the presentation and processing of data are widespread and can be used without programming knowledge.
- An anomaly is the deviation of the surface from an intended state.
- Steel strips can be, for example, a roller imprint or an oil stain.
- Paper tapes can also be discolored or thickened, for example. In the case of paper webs, for example, further information can also be obtained by fluoroscopy, which provides additional information about material anomalies.
- the provision of surface data in the form of a spreadsheet enables the grouping and further processing of the surface data in a particularly advantageous, flexible and simple manner.
- this has the advantage that even users who are fundamentally inexperienced in programming computers can still easily define grouping rules in the form of formulas, as is known from classic spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel or the like.
- grouping rules in the form of formulas, as is known from classic spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel or the like.
- the surface data can be grouped in such a way that the data sets are spatially grouped, which can be spatially assigned to a later end product.
- a grouping rule is applied, in which the surface data are combined corresponding to the part of the surface of a steel strip, which later forms the surface of a cowl>.
- This group of surface data then includes all anomalies that were noticed in this spatial area during the surface inspection of the strip material. Metaphorically speaking, one can use the grouping rules to create a kind of map on the strip material, which maps the position of the end products to be subsequently produced from the strip material on the strip material.
- the user of the surface inspection system is thus provided with a tool with which he can focus his attention on the areas of the strip material that are relevant for the later end product. Areas that are irrelevant to the end product, for example edge areas of the strip material that are generally cut off and discarded, can be discarded before the decision is made as to whether a specific quality standard can be achieved. In this case, mistakes in these areas, however numerous and serious, can be left aside when making decisions.
- the method according to the invention thus enables data reduction when evaluating surface inspection data, which simplifies and speeds up the decision-making process when assigning quality standards and makes this assignment more reliable and reproducible. In addition, automatic decision-making is made significantly easier and more reliable as soon as the necessary groupings and processing of the cell contents have been determined.
- an end product in the sense of this invention represents an end product relative to the strip material, that is to say that an end product in the sense of this invention can also be an intermediate product which is subjected to further processing steps.
- the system easily enables the possibility of checking whether other quality standards can be met. This is done, for example, by simply applying a different grouping rule.
- a quality standard is from another the strip material to be manufactured end product can be met.
- the data prepared in this way can be made available to third parties in a simple form.
- the data can be made available to a customer or processor of the steel strips.
- the latter can check the quality level assignment by the steel manufacturer, but can also independently apply their own grouping rules to check whether the steel strip can be used for a different end product with less scrap.
- grouping rules can be done in a simple manner by programming formulas in individual cells of a spreadsheet, as is known from conventional spreadsheets.
- grouping can mean that, for example, the sum of the errors is formed in an area that can be assigned to specific spatial coordinates, such as an end product.
- Such formulas can also be used to compare the quality standards to be observed. For example, a formula "if the group comprises fewer than two errors of type X and the surface roughness is less than a value Y" could result in a certain quality standard being assigned only if all relevant groups or a predeterminable proportion of the relevant groups do so Fulfill formula A summary comparison of all anomalies in the groups with predefined limit values is also possible.
- the surface data include a surface roughness, flatness, a refining temperature and / or a thickness of the strip material.
- a finishing temperature is to be understood as an annealing temperature which has an influence on the brittleness of the steel.
- Such tempering temperatures can have a decisive influence on the subsequent processing of the material and consequently on the classification in quality standards.
- further data on the nature of the strip and / or the surface can also be contained in the surface data.
- a data record of a surface anomaly comprises at least one anomaly type, an anomaly size and / or an anomaly strength.
- An anomaly type is to be understood as an industry-specific classification of the surface anomaly of the strip material, for example rust, an imprint, a scratch, a scale, a bubble, etc. for steel.
- the size of the anomaly can be relative (smaller than the spatial extent of the group, larger than the spatial extent of the group) or absolute (e.g. two square centimeters).
- Anomaly strength is understood to mean the amplitude of the deviation from the desired target state of the surface, for example in the case of scale the degree of blackening or the like. The anomaly strength thus represents a measure of the deviation from the desired target state of the surface.
- At least one of the following groupings is carried out by the grouping rules: a) summary of data sets which correspond to spatially adjacent and / or correlated surface anomalies; b) Summary of data records that can be spatially assigned to predeterminable areas of the tape material; c) Summary of data sets that correspond to similar surface anomalies; d).
- a correlation in the sense of a grouping according to a) is understood here to mean any type of mathematical correlation, that is to say any type of mathematical operation in which a dependency between two quantities is generated.
- spatially adjacent anomalies can be grouped. For example, this makes it possible to identify production defects in the production of the strip material, as a result of which neighboring surface anomalies or corrected, for example periodic, surface defects occur. For example, in the direction of movement of the Continuous scratches or periodic impressions of the rolling tools.
- the grouping of data records according to b) allows, for example, the summarization of surface anomalies in areas that are generally rejects due to the production process of the strip material and / or the end product, e.g. B. edge or end areas of the tape.
- Another example is the possibility described above of combining areas on the belt surface which are assigned to the end product to be produced.
- a grouping of data records according to c) allows a summary of essentially the same or similar surface anomalies.
- the grouping according to d) allows the summarization of data records that are relevant for compliance with or over-fulfillment of a certain quality standard.
- the quality level denotes a quality indication generally assigned to the strip material, while the quality standards represent standards independent of this strip material, for example set by the customers.
- a quality standard I could represent the quality that the surface of a steel sheet must have in order to be able to be used for the production of engine hoods.
- a quality standard II could represent the quality that the surface of a steel sheet must have in order to be used for the production of washing machine parts to be able to.
- the quality level of a specific sheet can then simply be defined such that it is not sufficient to meet quality standard I, but it is sufficient to meet quality standard II.
- the grouping according to d) can represent a pure spatial grouping in adaptation to the end products to be produced as well as a correlation of surface anomaly data with further parameters such as surface roughness and the like.
- a grouping according to d) is not limited to these examples, rather a grouping can be carried out in any possible manner in accordance with the quality standards just required.
- a grouping according to e) allows, for example, an estimation of errors in the production process of the strip material, in which surface anomalies of a certain anomaly strength are grouped in the manner of a map with contour lines.
- areas of the strip material are taken into account which can be assigned to at least a partial area of the end product to be produced from the strip material.
- this allows the formation of a kind of map of the surface which already contains the position and size of the end products to be produced from the strip material.
- the geometrical nature of the strip material in particular with regard to reject areas caused by the production process of the strip material, is shown in a grouping according to b).
- the individual cells of the spreadsheet can be adapted at least in terms of position and size to the geometric nature of the strip material and / or the position and / or spatial extent of the anomalies and / or the groups on the strip surface.
- This function allows, for example, an essentially true-to-scale representation of the tape material in the spreadsheet, in which the size ratios of the groups on the tape material essentially correspond to the size relationships of the individual cells to one another.
- the individual cells are related to at least one of the following variables: A) color of the background;
- the quality level is assigned relative to predeterminable quality criteria. Based on the example above, this means that the quality level states that a quality standard I is not met, but a quality standard II is met. In a simple manner, the quality level can be a list of all the quality standards that have been met. According to a further advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention, the quality level is assigned absolutely.
- a simple case of an absolute assignment of the quality level lies, for example, in the specification of the number of anomalies that have occurred, possibly weighted with the anomaly strength and / or the area of occurrence on the surface of the strip material.
- the assignment is made using a formula in the spreadsheet.
- the formula may consist of an instruction that says, "assign quality level I if the number of type X anomalies is less than Y and if the tempering temperature is greater than Z in all groups.”
- at least one data record or at least one group is at least partially represented in a cell of a spreadsheet. This allows the display of at least one data record or at least one group, at least in part in a cell. In each case in parts means that only parts of the data record or the group are displayed, and in particular the user can choose what he wants to display from which data record.
- the number of surface anomalies registered in this group, the average tempering temperature, the average strip thickness and / or the average surface roughness etc. of the group or the data set can be displayed in individual cells or together.
- the representation of only the number of anomalies of a specific type of anomaly of the group or of the data set is also possible and according to the invention.
- the display or a corresponding filtering in the manner of a conventional spreadsheet is possible.
- the respective coordinates on the strip material or any information to be adapted by the user can be used.
- the spreadsheets can be linked together.
- a link for example in the manner of a hyperlink on the Internet, can be programmed between different tables, so that, for example, a cell with a group of data records is linked to the location of a list of all individual data records that corresponds to the first data record in the group or the first data record corresponds to the group with a surface anomaly.
- Any links between the tables are possible and according to the invention.
- the amount of data to be displayed can be significantly reduced if, for example, data that is present (e.g. the finishing temperature) but is not relevant for the end product to be produced from the strip material is not displayed.
- the data not shown should in particular be made visible again at any time, in that the memory structure assigned to the cells contains the entire database and the links made.
- the structure in which the data of a group or a data record can be represented can be specified.
- Outline is to be understood here as the structure and division of the spreadsheet, that is, for example, the definition in which column which part of the data records and / or the groups is shown, in which row what is displayed, etc.
- One or more spreadsheets can be configured, each representing data in a form that corresponds to a particular problem. This can be customized by each user, just as it is possible in common spreadsheets.
- representations can be linked to individual cells which at least partially show the data of the group linked to this cell or of the data record linked to this cell, in particular at least with a graphical representation of a corresponding surface anomaly.
- the surface data are obtained at least partially from the signals from at least one measured value pickup, preferably a camera, particularly preferably a CCD or CMOS camera.
- a method for quality evaluation of the surface of moving strip materials, in particular metal or paper strips is proposed, in which surface data are processed according to the method according to the invention for the preparation of surface data and the strip material is based on this data Quality level is assigned, which is preferably relative to one or more specifiable quality standards.
- This method according to the invention makes it possible, based on the data prepared as set out above, to assign the strip material to a quality level in a simple manner during production or only before further processing of the strip material, which is preferably based on predeterminable quality standards.
- the invention also allows a customer of tape material to group and evaluate the existing data according to very different criteria until he has found a way of compiling data that is relevant to his needs. He can always make adjustments and improvements.
- the relevant type of compilation found can then be used in an automated manner without re-evaluation by an inspector for evaluating further coils and / or given to the manufacturer of the strip material in order to automatically obtain the desired quality or to sort out coils there, that do not have this quality.
- a method for quality management of strip materials in particular of metal or paper strips, is proposed, in which a quality level is assigned to the strip material according to the method for quality assessment according to the invention, and on the basis of this quality level the strip material is fed to a processing step requiring a certain quality level.
- Quality management is a complex, multidimensional process. This does not only include assigning a quality level to a specific strip material (coil), although this is the basis for further quality management. Rather, this term means an iterative Ver adjustment process over several bands taking into account a plurality of possible end products, possibly also a plurality of possible end products from different manufacturers in different industries, each taking into account the respective industry and manufacturer-specific quality requirements and standards. Such quality management can be performed using the method according to the invention. Surface data can be effectively processed for the first time.
- This quality management can be carried out on the one hand by the manufacturer of the strip material, in which a list with the orders is kept including the respective quality standards to be fulfilled and the size and requirements of the end products to be produced, and a multi-dimensional adjustment is carried out on the basis of the strip material to be considered. This minimizes rejects while maximizing the quality standards that can be maintained, for example by maximizing the possible price that can be achieved.
- the variation parameters here are, in particular, parameters “outside” of the strip material, that is to say a different grouping depending on the end product to be produced, and also parameters “inside” of a strip material, for example a displacement of the grouping in the longitudinal direction, that is to say in the direction of movement of the strip material and / or transversely thereto.
- a device for controlling the processing of strip materials in particular metal or paper strips, is proposed, with an evaluation unit which has at least a) storage means at least for storing surface data which can be assigned according to coordinates of the strip surface and / or a quality standard data that can be assigned to the end product to be produced, b) grouping means for grouping the surface data on the basis of predeterminable grouping rules, wherein a group comprises at least one data record of the surface data, and c) comparison means for comparing the groups of surface data with at least one predeterminable quality standard, including with and output means which serve for the input of commands and the output of at least the surface data from the evaluation unit and which are connected to the evaluation unit via corresponding data connections, with control means, ie e via data connections - at least connected to the evaluation unit, the input and / or output means, input and output means interacting in such a way that the display and processing of the surface data, as well as a corresponding input of the grouping rules
- control means are preferably connected to a notification device, in particular for coloring, punching or Perforation of a tape according to predefinable criteria and / or in places with special anomalies.
- a notification device in particular for coloring, punching or Perforation of a tape according to predefinable criteria and / or in places with special anomalies.
- the device is at least suitable for at least one of the inventions. to carry out the method according to the invention.
- it has at least one measurement sensor, preferably a camera, particularly preferably a CCD or CMOS camera, which records surface data, the measurement sensor being connected to the evaluation unit via data connections and the surface data to the evaluation unit transmitted.
- evaluation means are formed which determine surface anomalies on the surface of the strip material on the basis of the surface data.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a strip material
- Fig. 2 is a spreadsheet
- FIG. 3 shows a tape material corresponding to the spreadsheet from FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a spreadsheet with several spreadsheets
- Fig. 5 shows a second embodiment of a spreadsheet with multiple spreadsheets
- Fig. 6 shows an embodiment of a device according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a section of a band material 1, for example a section of a steel band 1. It is provided that car doors 2 are produced from this steel band 1.
- An outline of a car door 2 to be produced is indicated by way of example on the steel strip 1, this being the area of the steel strip 1 which is assigned to the car door 2 to be produced, that is to say when the steel strip 1 is viewed during the production of the strip or before the production of the strip
- Car door 2 is initially a purely virtual assignment, in which there is in particular no physical marking of the steel strip 1.
- the car door 2 has a door area 3 and a window area 4.
- An automatic surface inspection of the steel strip 1 takes place, as a result of which there are data records which can be assigned to the coordinates of the surface of the steel strip 1.
- Each data record thus represents the surface quality of a surface unit at a position which is given by the corresponding coordinates on the belt surface.
- these data records include the Data of surface anomalies, that is, deviations of the actual state of the surface of the steel strip 1 from the desired target state of the surface.
- the data records are grouped using predefinable grouping rules.
- the data sets that form the door area 3 can be grouped and the data sets that form the window area 4 can be further grouped.
- the data records which form the door area 3 can be combined in a single group, but several groups can also be formed, each of which forms approximately rectangular sub-areas of the door area 3.
- FIG. 2 shows a section of a spreadsheet 9, which is divided in a conventional manner into cells 12 forming columns 10 and rows 11, which are only shown as examples for the sake of clarity.
- the example in FIG. 2 shows the surface data of a steel strip 1 which has been divided into several groups.
- each cell 12 comprises a group of surface data.
- the size and position of the cells corresponds to the position and extent of the corresponding groups of surface data, as a comparison with the corresponding section of the steel strip 1, which is shown in FIG. 3, shows.
- FIG. 3 schematically shows a section of a steel strip 1. This has first product areas 13 and second product areas 14, which will form the surface of end products to be produced from the steel strip 1. Furthermore, there are third product areas 15, which will belong to the surface of the end product after the production of the end products. In addition, intermediate regions 16 are formed which lie between product regions 13, 14, 15 which will not contribute to the end product, and edge regions 8 which, together with the intermediate regions 16, form the scrap of steel which does not contribute to the end product to be produced.
- surface data are available which can be assigned to the coordinates on the surface of the steel strip 1.
- the surface data was grouped, a grouping being selected which is adapted to the areas 13, 14, 15 of the end product to be produced.
- the first groups of surface data were thus formed, which are adapted to the first product area 13.
- the first groups of surface data only comprise data records that can be spatially assigned to the coordinates of the first product area 13.
- second groups of surface data are formed that can be assigned to the spatial coordinates of the second product area 14 and third groups that spatially can be assigned to third product areas 15.
- Zvi ⁇ be rule groups and formed edge of groups corresponding to the intermediate regions 16 and the edge areas can be spatially associated.
- each group is shown in its own cell.
- the first group is shown in a first cell 17, the second group in a second cell 18 and the third group in a third cell 19.
- the first product area 13 corresponds to the first cell 17
- the second product area 14 corresponds to the second cell 18
- the third product area corresponds to the third cells 19.
- the intermediate areas 16 correspond to intermediate cells 20, the edge areas 8 to edge cells 21.
- the spreadsheet 9 is divided according to the division into product areas 13, 14, 15 of the steel strip 1.
- cells 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 contain the number of surface anomalies in the respective area 13, 14, 15, 16, 8 of steel strip 1.
- Cells 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 of spreadsheet 9 are colored with different background colors, which indicate the relevance of the errors contained in cells 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 for the assignment of a quality level of steel strip 1.
- the quality level is understood here to mean compliance with certain quality standards that are required for the production of the end product.
- the relevance for the quality level determination is determined by predeterminable criteria, which can be specified in the spreadsheet in the manner of a formula, as exemplified above. For example, despite the relatively high number of thirty-two surface anomalies in the first cell 17, the relevance of these errors for the end product to be produced is low.
- the first spreadsheet 22 contains a list of all available spreadsheets Strip materials, whereby different parameters of each strip material such as an identification number, a start time of production, the length, width, thickness and the weight of the strip material are listed in individual cells. Other parameters are the steel grade, the intended use, the roughness and the customer of the strip material. Additional parameters can be easily and quickly added in the manner of a spreadsheet by adding rows and / or columns.
- the second 23, third 24, fourth 25 and fifth 26 spreadsheets each contain geometric views of the strip material just selected in the first spreadsheet 22 with the corresponding groupings.
- the overall relevance is summarized in the summary cells 27.
- the number of relevant errors can be read from the cell content and, on the other hand, the overall relevance for compliance with the respective quality standard can be seen from the coloring of the cell.
- the use corresponding to the third spreadsheet 24 would be the most critical, while the use corresponding to the second 23 and fifth spreadsheet 26 would be less critical. Based on the price to be achieved for the individual uses, an optimization of the achievable proceeds can be achieved in this way.
- the first spreadsheet 22 contains a list of all available strip materials with parameters such as an identification number of the inspection data record, the production line on which the strip material is produced, the start time of the production, the duration of the production, the length of the Strip material, the cold strip from which the steel strip was made, the roughness of the material, the thickness, width, weight, etc.
- the third spreadsheet 24, the fourth spreadsheet 25 and the fifth spreadsheet 26 contain representations which correspond to the geometrical relationships of the strip material are adjusted.
- the rows each represent data at a specific longitudinal coordinate, that is to say in the direction of movement of the strip material, while the columns indicate the transverse coordinate of the strip material.
- the third spreadsheet 24 shows the number of surface anomalies per group of data sets assigned to each cell, while the fourth spreadsheet 25 shows the deviation of the flatness of each group from the mean flatness.
- the fifth spreadsheet 26 shows the deviation of the finishing temperature Each group is represented by an average finishing temperature.
- the sixth spreadsheet 28 shows the summary of the parameters relevant to quality, namely the number of defects, ie the surface anomalies that would prevent classification into a quality standard, as well as the average flatness of the strip material, the finishing temperature, the average width and the resulting result quality level.
- the seventh spreadsheet 29 the deviation from the average width of the strip material is shown resolved for the longitudinal coordinate of the strip material.
- the second spreadsheet 23 contains individual representations of surface anomalies.
- the spreadsheets 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29 are linked to each other so that, for example, clicking the mouse of the computer in one of the cells of the spreadsheets 24, 25, 26 shows the corresponding images of the anomalies therein Cell of spreadsheets 24, 25, 26 in second spreadsheet 23.
- Clicking in another column of the first spreadsheet 22 causes the corresponding data of this now selected tape material to be displayed in the other spreadsheets 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29 etc.
- any spreadsheet with different displays, filtering and / or groupings can be combined with each other. This is done in a simple manner like a spreadsheet, which essentially untrained users can carry out. The assignment of the quality level is thus reproducible and transparent for third parties.
- FIG. 6 shows an exemplary embodiment of a device 30 according to the invention for controlling the processing of strip materials 1 with an evaluation unit 31.
- This includes at least storage means 32, grouping means 33 and comparison means 34.
- the evaluation unit 31 in the present example includes evaluation means 35, which, however, are optional.
- data bindings 36 formed. These can advantageously represent an addressable bus system, so that all connected components 32, 33, 34, 35 and further connected components can be addressed individually with a common data connection 36.
- the data connections can be either wire or at least partially wireless.
- Data can be stored in the storage means 32, namely at least surface data and / or quality standard data that can be assigned to an end product to be produced from the strip material 1.
- the surface data are in the form of data records which can be assigned according to the coordinates of the strip surface and which each include surface data such as, in particular, a surface roughness, flatness, a finishing temperature and / or a thickness of the strip material 1 and, if appropriate, the data of at least one surface anomaly present.
- the storage of further data is possible and according to the invention.
- the grouping means 33 are used to group surface data on the basis of predefinable grouping rules.
- the comparison means 34 are used to compare the surface data with at least one specifiable quality standard.
- the result of the grouping in the grouping means 33 and the comparison in the comparison means 34 can be transmitted via the data connection 36 to other components connected to them.
- the result of the comparison and the grouped surface data can thus be transferred to the storage means 32 and stored therein.
- input means 37 and output means 38 are formed, by means of which commands can be entered and at least the surface data can be output, with at least one spreadsheet being input and output.
- the input 37 and output means 38 are also connected to the data connection 36, so that the data stored in the storage means 32 and the data output by the grouping means 33 and comparison means 34 can be used for input and output.
- Input means 37 may advantageously a keyboard and / or a computer mouse or the like Com ⁇ formed as output means 38 in an advantageous manner, in particular a monitor.
- the input means 37 can also advantageously be used to enter and / or define the grouping rules and / or the quality standards and / or the comparison rules for comparing the groups with at least one quality standard.
- the device 30 has control means 39 which, depending on the comparison data supplied by the comparison means 34, trigger a specific processing process of the strip material 1 for the production of an end product or discard the strip material 1 - for example as unusable. Alternatively or additionally, an intervention by a user can take place here.
- a specific processing process is to be understood here in particular to mean the feeding of the strip material for the production of a specific end product.
- the control means can thus feed the strip material to a production of a first end product (for example fenders) or a production of a second end product (for example bonnets).
- the supply to a specific processing process can be carried out by an optional control output 43, in which the control commands of the control means 39 are passed on to corresponding apparatus.
- the surface data can be stored in the storage means 32 or stored there by a data carrier, which is used, for example, as an accompanying material for the strip material 1.
- a data carrier which is used, for example, as an accompanying material for the strip material 1.
- the direct connection of the evaluation unit to a measurement sensor 40 via the data connection 36 is optionally possible and according to the invention.
- Surface data of a surface 41 of a strip material 1, which may move in a direction of movement 42, can be recorded via the optical measured value pickup 40, preferably a camera, particularly preferably a CCD or CMOS camera. Anomalies can be found by the evaluation means 35.
- the device shown here can be implemented at least partially in an integrated circuit and / or a computer. The device shown here is preferably suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention.
- control means 39 are connected to a marking device 44.
