METHOD OF PRODUCING CLADDING SHEETS
The present invention relates to a method of marking a roll-formed cladding sheet to define the configuration of a plurality of cladding sheets for building a structure, such as a roof. The method includes the steps of: (a) inputting data relating to the design of 5 the structure into a computer program that translates the design data into a series of marking operations of a marking assembly for marking the configuration of a plurality of smaller cladding sheets onto a roll-formed strip that can be subsequently cut to form separate cladding sheets that have the correct size and shape to be placed directly onto an underlying frame and thereafter assembled together to form the structure; and 10 (b) marking the roll-formed strip with the marking assembly in accordance with the marking operations generated by the computer program, the marking assembly comprising a plurality of marking means that are fixed relative to a roll-forming line and are individually operable to mark the roll-formed strip, and defining the configuration of the plurality of cladding sheets by individually operating each marking means to mark 15 the roll-formed strip. The present invention also relates to an apparatus for producing a plurality of cladding sheets for building a structure. (Figure 1) :D
