STACKING ROLLED STRIP SECTIONS

摘要

Apparatus for stacking rolled strip sections in which A strip (2) is advanced in a predetermined direction in a strip processing installation having cutting shears (4) upstream of a bending machine (6). A thicker end section (5) of the strip (2) is coiled by rolls (15 to 17) of the bending machine (6) and is cut off by the shears (4). The bending machine (6) carrying the coiled strip (7) is then moved on rails transversely to said predetermined direction to a position adjacent a stacking location where the coil (7) is then unrolled. This arrangement has the advantage that the thicker strip section takes up minimal space within the step processing installation.
