Cropping unit for rolled wire etc. moving at high speed - has cutting cylinders moved transversely for each cut to divert cropped wire end

摘要

The arrangement is intended for cropping the leading and trailing ends of fast moving e.g. wire material (15) or cutting test pieces therefrom as it leaves a rolling mill by means of a cropping unit (1) with intermittently started or continuously rotating cutting cylinders (3,4). During each cut, the cylinders are moved transversely (e.g. by crank drive (11) moving the unit (1) on its support base (10) to divert the cropped end out of the path (15) of the material. The transverse movement is pref. started whilst the cutting cylinders are to one side and finished on the other side of the path (15).
