Guiding device

A system for transporting an elongated metal object, wherein the system comprises:

• a guiding device for guiding the elongated metal object, wherein the guiding device is configured to receive the elongated metal object being propelled by a first propulsion means;
• and
• a second propulsion means;
• wherein the guiding device is configured to guide the elongated metal object towards the second propulsion means, the first propulsion means and the second propulsion means being configured to propel the elongated metal objet along a longitudinal axis,
• wherein the guiding device comprises a guiding means for receiving the elongated metal object and guiding it towards the second propulsion means, wherein the guiding means have a shape configured to guide the elongated metal object to a predetermined position along a first axis, the first axis being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the predetermined position is determined by the shape of the guiding means,
• wherein the second propulsion means comprises at least one rotating cylinder for propelling the elongated metal object, wherein the at least one rotating cylinder rotates in a plane spanned by the longitudinal axis and a second axis, wherein the second axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and the first axis,
• wherein, at least a part of the guiding device has a wedge shape in a plane spanned by the longitudinal axis and the first axis, allowing the guiding device to be positioned in proximity of a set of rotating wheels,
• wherein the wedge shape is formed by two faces laying in two planes on the guiding device, wherein the angle between the planes is between 1 degree and 85 degrees, where the angle is measured as the smaller of the two possible angles.
