<p>Procedure to feed sections (35) automatically to a straightening machine (16) located downstream of a cooling plate (11), such procedure comprising the following steps:
- withdrawal of several sections (35), one at a time, from the cooling plate (11) together with formation of a layer of sections which comprises the sections already in their feed positioning,
- transfer of the thus obtained layer of sections to the straightening machine (16), and
- controlled feed of the sections (35),
the withdrawal of each single section (35) from the cooling plate (11) taking place by the lateral movement and depositing of such section (35) on a layer-forming support (19) advancing step-by-step in the direction of such lateral movement so as to form a layer, such layer thus formed being then aligned with the straightening machine (16).
<??>Device (10) for the automatic feed of sections (35) to a straightening machine (16) located downstream of a cooling plate (11), such device comprising:
- a unit (12) to form layers which lies on the same axis as, and immediately downstream of, the cooling plate,
- a transfer unit(13),
- a feeder unit (14), and
- a lead-in unit (15). </p> |
