Blanking mold, blanking and stacking apparatus, and blanking method

A blanking method comprising:

• performing blanking of a feed of continuous metal coil in a blanking apparatus, and
• unloading and conveying resulting blanks,
• wherein the blanking apparatus comprises a mold, and the mold comprises:
• a shearing section for performing blanking of the feed of metal coil to produce blanks at an inclination angle with respect to a line direction in which the blanks are to be unloaded, and
• an orientation-adjuster located downstream of shearing section in the line direction, for adjusting an orientation of the blanks on a conveying surface from an inclined state at a first inclination angle with respect to the line direction to a larger, second inclination angle, and for guiding the blanks forward from the mold,
• wherein the orientation-adjuster comprises a first belt conveyor with a longer conveying distance and a second belt conveyor with a shorter conveying distance, which are arranged substantially in parallel and on which the blanks are conveyed, with a conveying rate of the first belt conveyor being faster than a conveying rate of the second belt conveyor, and
• wherein the blanking is performed at an inclination angle selected from larger to smaller angles in proportion to a larger to smaller width of the metal coil to produce a predetermined length of the blanks.
