A billet (2) is rolled to a rod (3) in a rolling mill. The rod (3) exits the rolling mill with a finishing temperature (TE1). A rear laser measurement device (8) arranged downstream of the rolling mill detects the head end and the speed (v) of the rod (3). The detected speed (v) of the rod (3) is integrated to its length and an instantaneous length (L) of the rod (3) is determined. Dependent on the determined instantaneous length (L) of the rod (3), cutting commands (S) to a rear shears (5) arranged downstream of the rolling mill are provided for cutting the rod (3) in sections (6) of predetermined length (L0). The sections (6) of the rod (3) are cooled down in a cooling bed (7).

A shearing device and a method for an aluminum material are provided. The shearing device includes an upper pad die, a lower pad die, a first electrode provided on each of the upper pad die and the lower pad die, a heating device provided on the first portion of the upper pad die and the lower pad die, respectively as surface parts; and a shearing die provided on the upper pad die to move up and down with respect to a surface to which the aluminum material is discharged and including a second electrode. In addition, the shearing method for the aluminum material is provided for reducing chips generated during the shearing process.
