Abstract
A method and an apparatus for sorting out short lengths in light-section finishing lines, including a cutting device, for example, a cold shear, which has a cutting plane, wherein the cutting device is followed by a driven roller conveyor with a length stop which can be removed preferably by being lifted and is adjustable to the desired length. The rolling stock resting against the length stop is held after cutting to length in the cutting device until the short lengths have been conveyed away by the driven roller conveyor after lifting the length stop.
Claims12
A method of sorting out short lengths in a light-section finishing line, with a cutting unit having a lower knife and an upper knife defining a cutting plane, a driven roller table for conveying away cut lengths and short lengths following the cutting device, and with a length stop for the cut lengths and the short lengths, wherein the length stop is removable by raising the length stop and the length stop is adjustable to the desired length of the cut lengths, the method comprising clamping the cut lengths resting against the length stop after cutting to length in the cutting device at least until the short lengths of the rolling stock which also rest against the length stop but are not clamped because of their short length have been conveyed away after lifting the length stop from the driven roller table.
An apparatus for sorting out short lengths in a light-section finishing line, the apparatus comprising a lower knife and an upper knife defining a cutting device having a cutting plane and a driven roller table for conveying away cut lengths and short lengths following the cutting device, and a length stop for the cut lengths and the short lengths, wherein the length stop is adjustable to a desired length of the, and the length stop is removable by lifting the length stop, further comprising a pressure regulating unit mounted underneath ends of the cut lengths on a side of the cutting device, wherein the pressure regulating unit is configured to place the cut lengths in pressure contact with a stop above the ends of the cut lengths on the side of the cutting device.
