Procedure for loading metal beams into a processing device and related charging equipment for metal beams

摘要

Method and device (10) for loading metal bars (11) to a processing machine using loading means (13, 15, 16). The metal bars (11) are disposed in respective bundles contained separately in relative containing means (12). The method comprises at least a first set-up step, in which data relating to the weight of the bundles and the parameters of size of the metal bars (11) are inserted; a second processing step, in which the load condition, in terms of occupied volume, of the relative containing means (12) of the metal bars (11) is estimated; and a third pick-up step, in which, according to the estimated load condition, the containing means (12) and the loading means (13, 15, 16) are moved with respect to each other, by relative movement means (17), so as to condition the relative pick-up position between the upper layer, or level, of the metal bars (11) and the loading means (13, 15, 16).
