<p>Device (10) and method for feeding metal bars (11) to a work apparatus. The device (10) comprises containing means (12, 13), in which the metal bars (11) are disposed in respective bundles, and loading means (15) to pick up one or more metal bars (11) and extract them from the relative bundles in a determinate direction of loading (D). The device (10) also comprises a translator member (16) disposed independent and downstream of the loading means (15), and conformed so as to collect in determinate groups the metal bars (11) exiting from the loading means (15). The translator member (16) is able to move the groups of metal bars (11) thus formed in a direction of translation (T), transverse to the direction of loading (D), until they are taken to a lateral position with respect to the loading means (15), from which they are fed to the work apparatus. The loading means (15) comprise a shearing unit (25) suitable to selectively divide the metal bars (11) picked up into segments of desired length, in order to feed them in the form of segments to the translator member (16).</p> |
