| 20090007621 | Method to Feed Bars to a Working Machine and Relative Device - A feeder device and method for feeding bars to a machine, for picking up and removing from a bundle at least one bar, to prepare it said bar for use in a working machine comprising a drawing assembly. The device comprises a first magnetic assembly for separating from the bundle at least an end segment of a plurality of bars and to dispose at least the end segments of the plurality of bars on a plane distanced with respect to the bundle, and a second magnetic assembly for picking up from the first magnetic assembly one bar at a time from the plurality of bars and to unload the bar in a desired release position. The device comprises an accumulation assembly for receiving in sequence from the second magnetic assembly a desired number of bars so as to form a store, and to transfer the desired number of bars simultaneously to the drawing assembly. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20100080674 | FEED DEVICE FOR METAL BARS, AND RELATIVE METHOD OF FEED - A device and method to feed metal bars associated with a work machine including at least a drawing member for the metal bars. The device includes loading members to load one or more metal bars to the work machine, and one or more containing members in which the metal bars are disposed in respective bundles. The device also includes deflector members disposed downstream of the containing members and upstream of the drawing member, and movable laterally in independent manner with respect to the containing members, so as to be able to condition the position of at least a head portion of each of the metal bars picked up, relative to their lying position in the containing members, so as to displace them sideways one by one, or in groups, with respect to a nominal axis (X) in which the metal bars lie stationary in the respective containing member. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20110008143 | FEEDING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR BARS - A device and method to feed bars which picks-up and removes selectively from a bundle one bar in order to dispose the bar for use in an operating machine. The device including first magnetic members, which separate from the bundle an end segment of a plurality of bars and dispose the end segments of the plurality of bars on a plane distanced with respect to the bundle, and second magnetic members, which cooperate with the first magnetic members so as to pick-up at least one bar at a time from the plurality of bars and to prepare the bar for sending to the operating machine. The device also includes third magnetic members, which temporarily hold the bar or bars picked-up by the first magnetic members, forming substantially a pick-up plane, in an intermediate step, from which the second magnetic members selectively pick-up the bars to be sent to the machine. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110056349 | Apparatus to Feed and Shear Metal Bars, and Relative Method - An apparatus and method to feed and shear metal bars, comprising a shearing unit that shears the metal bars sequentially into segments of desired length, and an alignment and translation unit, which feeds the metal bars to the shearing unit, provided with butting member suitable to cooperate with the tail ends of the metal bars in order to align them longitudinally with respect to each other. The butting member comprises a magnetic portion facing toward the tail ends of the metal bars, and conformed so as to generate a magnetic or electromagnetic attraction force on the tail ends, so as to attract the metal bars to itself and to keep the relative tail ends substantially aligned and in contact with the butting member. | 03-10-2011 |
