An apparatus for automatically feeding rod-shaped stock to a programmer-controlled cutting machine has a conveyor leading to the cutting machine, a frame structure that defines a compartment series extending transversely to the conveying path of the conveyor. Each compartment accommodates stock of a particular cross section and/or quality. The frame structure is movable in a programmed manner transversely to the conveying path for aligning a selected one of the compartments with an input zone of the conveyor. There is further provided a program-controlled mechanism that vertically moves the frame for lifting it away from and lowering it into the input zone at the beginning and at the end, respectively, of the transversal movement of the frame structure. By lowering the frame, the stock in the compartment aligned with the input zone is transferred from the compartment to the conveyor. |
