Die vorliegende Offenbarung betrifft ein zudem ein Verfahren zum Ausliefern eines Drahts oder eines Blechs.The present disclosure also relates to a method for delivering a wire or a sheet.
Eine Vielzahl von Drähten oder Blechen, insbesondere aber kaltumgeformte Drähte oder Bleche aus Edelstahl, lassen sich nach der eigentlichen Herstellung des Drahts oder Blechs nur schwer weiterverarbeiten, ohne dass sich die Materialeigenschaften des Drahts oder Blechs ändern. Derartige Drähte oder Bleche werden heute als Abschnitte des Drahts oder des Blechs an den Kunden geliefert und dort weiterverarbeitet. Dabei werden die Drähte oder Bleche in maximalen Längen geliefert, so wie sie ausgestreckt auf einem Lkw transportiert werden können. Typische maximale Längen der einzelnen gelieferten Abschnitte des Drahts oder des Blechs betragen daher etwa 12 m.A large number of wires or sheets, but in particular cold-formed wires or sheets made of stainless steel, can only be processed with difficulty after the actual production of the wire or sheet without the material properties of the wire or sheet changing. Such wires or sheets are now delivered to the customer as sections of the wire or sheet and processed there. The wires or sheets are delivered in maximum lengths, just as they can be transported stretched out on a truck. Typical maximum lengths of the individual sections of wire or sheet supplied are therefore around 12 m.
Die
Die
Gemäß einem Aspekt der vorliegenden Offenbarung gilt es, ein Transportsystem zu schaffen, welches den Transport einer Drahts oder Blechs mit beliebiger Länge und mit der erforderlichen Qualität zum Ort der Verwendung des Drahts oder des Blechs ermöglicht.According to one aspect of the present disclosure, it is a matter of creating a transport system which enables the transport of a wire or sheet of any length and with the required quality to the place of use of the wire or sheet.
Daher wird ein Transportsystem für einen Draht oder ein Blech vorgeschlagen mit einer Transportplattform, einer Aufnahme für den Draht oder das Blech, wobei die Aufnahme derart eingerichtet ist, dass auf der Aufnahme der Draht oder das Blech aufgecoilt aufnehmbar ist, einem Antrieb, wobei der Antrieb derart eingerichtet ist, dass mit dem Antrieb der Draht oder das Blech in einer Transportrichtung förderbar ist, und einer Richteinrichtung, wobei die Richteinrichtung derart eingerichtet ist, dass der Draht oder das Blech mit der Richteinrichtung richtbar ist, wobei die Aufnahme, der Antrieb und die Richteinrichtung derart auf der Transportplattform angeordnet sind, dass mit dem Antrieb der Draht oder das Blech automatisiert von der Aufnahme abziehbar und der Richteinrichtung zuführbar ist, wobei das Transportsystem einen Transportcontainer umfasst, wobei die Transportplattform der Boden des Transportcontainers ist oder die Transportplattform auf einem Boden des Transportcontainers aufgenommen ist, und wobei das Transportsystem vier Seitenwände und ein Dach aufweist, wobei in einer der Seitenwände oder in dem Dach eine verschließbare Entnahmeöffnung vorgesehen ist, so dass durch die Entnahmeöffnung ein Abschnitt des Drahts oder des Blechs aus dem Transportsystem entnehmbar ist, wobei die Aufnahme, der Antrieb, die Richteinrichtung und die Schneideinrichtung derart angeordnet sind, dass ein Abschnitt des Drahts oder des Blechs durch die Entnahmeöffnung ausstoßbar ist.Therefore, a transport system for a wire or sheet is proposed with a transport platform, a receptacle for the wire or sheet, the receptacle being set up in such a way that the wire or sheet can be coiled on the receptacle, a drive, the drive is set up in such a way that the wire or sheet metal can be conveyed in a transport direction with the drive, and a straightening device, the straightening device being set up in such a way that the wire or sheet metal can be straightened with the straightening device, the receptacle, the drive and the Straightening device are arranged on the transport platform in such a way that the drive can be used to automatically pull the wire or sheet metal from the receptacle and feed it to the straightening device, with the transport system comprising a transport container, with the transport platform being the bottom of the transport container or the transport platform being on a bottom of the transport container is accommodated, and the transport system has four side walls and a roof, with a closable removal opening being provided in one of the side walls or in the roof, so that a section of the wire or sheet metal can be removed from the transport system through the removal opening, the Recording, the drive, the straightening device and the cutting device are arranged such that a portion of the wire or sheet metal can be ejected through the removal opening.
Die diesem Transportsystem zu Grunde liegende Idee ist es, ein Transportsystem für einen gecoilten Draht oder ein gecoiltes Blech mit einer im Wesentlichen beliebigen, nur durch das Volumen des Coils begrenzten Länge bereitzustellen. Ein gecoilter Draht oder ein gecoiltes Blech entspricht allerdings zumindest im Hinblick auf seine Geradheit typischerweise nicht den Kundenanforderungen. Daher ermöglicht das Transportsystem eine automatisierte Endverarbeitung des Drahts oder Blechs am Ort der Verwendung des Drahts oder Blechs, d.h. bei dem Kunden. Dies ermöglicht es, das Transportsystem für den Draht oder das Blech von dem Hersteller des Drahts oder des Blechs bereitstellen zu lassen, wobei dieser beispielsweise die Verantwortung für die Endverarbeitung beim Kunden übernimmt, wobei der Kunde von der Transportplattform nur fertige Abschnitte des Drahts oder des Blechs der gewünschten Länge und Qualität entnimmt. Die Endbearbeitung erfolgt in einer Ausführungsform vollständig automatisiert.The idea on which this transport system is based is to provide a transport system for a coiled wire or a coiled metal sheet with an essentially arbitrary length limited only by the volume of the coil. A coiled wire or sheet corresponds to However, at least with regard to its straightness, it typically does not meet customer requirements. Therefore, the transport system enables automated finishing of the wire or sheet at the point of use of the wire or sheet, ie at the customer's. This makes it possible to have the transport system for the wire or sheet provided by the manufacturer of the wire or sheet, with the latter assuming responsibility for the final processing at the customer's site, for example, with the customer only receiving finished sections of the wire or sheet from the transport platform the desired length and quality. In one embodiment, the finishing is fully automated.
In einer Ausführungsform der Offenbarung weist das Transportsystem zudem ein Schneideinrichtung auf, wobei die Schneideinrichtung derart eingerichtet und angeordnet ist, dass der Draht oder das Blech mit der Schneideinrichtung durchtrennbar ist, so dass ein Abschnitt des Drahts oder des Blechs mit einer auswählbaren Länge herstellbar ist, und wobei die Aufnahme, der Antrieb, die Richteinrichtung und die Schneideinrichtung derart auf der Transportplattform angeordnet sind, dass mit dem Antrieb der Draht oder das Blech automatisiert von der Aufnahme abziehbar und der Richteinrichtung und der Schneideinrichtung zuführbar ist.In one embodiment of the disclosure, the transport system also has a cutting device, the cutting device being set up and arranged in such a way that the wire or sheet metal can be severed with the cutting device, so that a section of the wire or sheet metal can be produced with a selectable length, and wherein the receptacle, the drive, the straightening device and the cutting device are arranged on the transport platform in such a way that the wire or sheet metal can be automatically pulled off the receptacle and fed to the straightening device and the cutting device with the drive.
Eine Transportplattform ist ein Träger, der eine ausreichende Stabilität für die Aufnahme der weiteren Elemente des Transportsystems aufweist, wobei diese Stabilität auch bei einem Transport, z.B. mit einem Lastkraftwagen, von einem Ort zu einem anderen Ort gegeben ist.A transport platform is a carrier that has sufficient stability for accommodating the other elements of the transport system, this stability also being provided during transport, e.g. with a truck, from one location to another.
Entscheidend ist, dass die Transportplattform in einer Ausführungsform selbst kranbar und/oder förderbar ist oder mit einer Einrichtung, beispielweise dem Boden eines Abrollbehälters oder eines Transportcontainers, verbunden ist, die wiederum kran oder förderbar ist. In einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Offenbarung ist die Transportplattform beispielsweise mit einem Flurfördergerät oder einem Containerumschlaggerät transportierbar und auf einem Verkehrsmittel, wie zum Beispiel einem Lastkraftwagen oder einem Eisenbahnwaggon, aufnehmbar. In einer Ausführungsform weist die Transportplattform oder die mit ihre verbundene Einrichtung die zum Kranen und oder Fördern erforderlichen Einrichtungen auf. In einer Ausführungsform weist die Transportplattform oder die mit ihre verbundene Einrichtung Kranösen zum Befestigen von Hebezeug und/oder Ausnehmungen zum Aufnehmen der Zinken eines Flurfördergeräts auf.What is decisive is that in one embodiment the transport platform itself can be craned and/or conveyed or is connected to a device, for example the floor of a roll-off container or a transport container, which in turn can be craned or conveyed. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the transport platform can be transported, for example, with an industrial truck or a container handling device and can be accommodated on a means of transport, such as a truck or a railroad car. In one embodiment, the transport platform or the device connected to it has the devices required for craning and/or conveying. In one embodiment, the transport platform or the device connected to it has crane lugs for attaching lifting gear and/or recesses for receiving the tines of an industrial truck.
Das Transportsystem weist zudem vier Seitenwände und ein Dach auf. Dabei sind in die vier Seitenwände und das Dach in einer Ausführungsform mit der Transportplattform verbunden und bilden zusammen einen Transportbehälter, wobei die Transportplattform den Boden des Transportbehälters bildet. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform wird ein Transportbehälter von den vier Seitenwänden, dem Dach und einem zusätzlichen Boden gebildet, wobei die Transportplattform im Inneren des Transportbehälters auf dem Boden aufgenommen und vorzugsweise mit diesem verbunden ist. Die Seitenwände und das Dach ermöglichen es, den Draht oder das Blech vor Umwelteinflüssen geschützt zu transportieren. Ebenfalls bieten die Seitenwände und das Dach den übrigen Einrichtungen der Transportplattform Schutz.The transport system also has four side walls and a roof. In this case, in one embodiment, the four side walls and the roof are connected to the transport platform and together form a transport container, with the transport platform forming the bottom of the transport container. In a further embodiment, a transport container is formed by the four side walls, the roof and an additional floor, with the transport platform being accommodated on the floor inside the transport container and preferably connected to it is. The side walls and the roof make it possible to protect the wire or sheet metal from environmental influences during transport. The side walls and the roof also offer protection to the other equipment on the transport platform.
Eine derartige Lösung ermöglicht es auch, den gecoilten Draht oder das gecoilte Blech sowie die Einrichtungen im Inneren des Transportbehälters dem Zugriff des Kunden vollständig zu entziehen. In einem Szenario liefert der Hersteller einen gecoilten Draht oder ein gecoiltes Blech in einem verschlossenen Transportbehälter des offenbarungsgemäßen Transportsystems und der Kunde entnimmt dem Transportbehälter automatisiert den Draht oder das Blech oder in einer Ausführungsform Abschnitte des Drahts oder des Blechs der jeweils erforderlichen Länge.Such a solution also makes it possible to completely remove the customer's access to the coiled wire or sheet metal and the equipment inside the transport container. In one scenario, the manufacturer delivers a coiled wire or sheet in a closed transport container of the transport system according to the disclosure and the customer automatically removes the wire or sheet or, in one embodiment, sections of the wire or sheet of the required length from the transport container.
In einer Ausführungsform ist in einer der Seitenwände oder in dem Dach eine verschließbare Beschickungsöffnung zum Beschicken des Transportsystems mit dem gecoilten Draht oder Blech vorgesehen.In one embodiment, a closable loading opening for loading the transport system with the coiled wire or sheet metal is provided in one of the side walls or in the roof.
Zudem ist in einer der Seitenwände oder in dem Dach eine verschließbare Entnahmeöffnung vorgesehen, so dass durch die Entnahmeöffnung der Draht oder das Blech oder ein Abschnitt des Drahts oder des Blechs aus dem Transportsystem entnehmbar ist, wobei die Aufnahme, der Antrieb, die Richteinrichtung und optional die Schneideinrichtung derart angeordnet sind, dass der Draht oder das Blech oder ein Abschnitt des Drahts oder des Blechs durch die Entnahmeöffnung ausstoßbar ist. Es versteht sich, dass die Entnahmeöffnung in Förderrichtung des Drahts oder Blechs hinter der letzten Einrichtung auf der Transportplattform angeordnet ist.In addition, a closable removal opening is provided in one of the side walls or in the roof, so that the wire or sheet metal or a section of the wire or sheet metal can be removed from the transport system through the removal opening, with the receptacle, the drive, the straightening device and optionally the cutting device is arranged in such a way that the wire or the metal sheet or a section of the wire or the metal sheet can be ejected through the removal opening. It goes without saying that the removal opening is arranged behind the last device on the transport platform in the conveying direction of the wire or sheet metal.
Das Transportsystem umfasst einen Transportcontainer, beispielsweise einen 40 Fuß Container, insbesondere einen 40 Fuß ISO-Container, wobei die Transportplattform der Boden des Transportcontainers ist
oder die Transportplattform auf einem Boden des Transportcontainers aufgenommen ist. Es versteht sich, dass in einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Offenbarung unter dem Boden des Transportcontainers noch ein Abrolluntersatz vorgesehen sein kann. Der Abrolluntersatz ermöglicht es, einen herkömmlichen Transportcontainer als Abrollbehälter mit einem entsprechend ausgerüsteten Lastkraftwagen zu transportieren und abzusetzen bzw. aufzunehmen. Dazu weist in einer Ausführungsform der Abrolluntersatz eine Öse zum Greifen des Abrollbehälters sowie optional mindestens eine Rolle unter dem Boden des Abrollbehälters auf.The transport system includes a transport container, for example a 40-foot container, in particular a 40-foot ISO container, with the transport platform being the floor of the transport container
or the transport platform is accommodated on a floor of the transport container. It goes without saying that in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a roll-off base can also be provided under the floor of the transport container. The roll-off base makes it possible to transport and set down or pick up a conventional transport container as a roll-off container with an appropriately equipped truck. For this purpose, in one embodiment, the roll-off base has an eyelet for gripping the roll-off container and optionally at least one roller under the bottom of the roll-off container.
Ein aufgecoilter bzw. gecoilter Draht bezeichnet im Sinne der vorliegenden Anmeldung einen aufgewickelten, d. h. im Wesentlichen kreisbogenförmig in einer oder mehreren Windungen gebogenen, Draht. Ein aufgecoiltes bzw. gecoiltes Blech bezeichnet im Sinne der vorliegenden Anmeldung ein aufgewickeltes, d. h. im Wesentlichen kreisbogenförmig in einer oder mehreren Windungen gebogenes, Blech.For the purposes of the present application, a coiled or coiled wire refers to a coiled, i. H. Wire bent essentially in the shape of a circular arc in one or more turns. For the purposes of the present application, a coiled or coiled metal sheet designates a coiled, d. H. Sheet metal bent essentially in the shape of a circular arc in one or more turns.
Die Aufnahme für einen solchen gecoilten Draht oder ein solches gecoiltes Blech kann in einer Ausführungsform so ausgestaltet sein, dass auf ihr eine Trommel, beispielsweise aus Holz, aufnehmbar ist, wobei wiederum der Draht oder das Blech auf die Trommel aufgecoilt ist. Auf eine Trommel können beinahe beliebige Längen von Drähten oder Blechen aufgecoilt werden.In one embodiment, the holder for such a coiled wire or such a coiled metal sheet can be designed in such a way that a drum, for example made of wood, can be accommodated on it, with the wire or the metal sheet again being coiled onto the drum. Almost any length of wire or sheet metal can be coiled onto a drum.
Betrachtet man kaltumgeformte Drähte oder Bleche aus Edelstahl, so ist deren Länge zunächst durch die Länge und Masse der der Fertigung zu Grunde gelegten Brammen oder Luppen (Rohmaterial für den Kaltumformprozess, wie Kaltpilgerwalzen oder Kaltziehen) beschränkt. Allerdings können in dem Transportsystem gemäß der vorliegenden Offenbarung in einer Ausführungsform auch Längen bereitgestellt werden, die nicht mehr einstückig Stück durch Kaltumformen hergestellt werden können.If one looks at cold-formed wires or sheets of stainless steel, their length is initially limited by the length and mass of the slabs or shells (raw material for the cold-forming process, such as cold pilger rolling or cold drawing) on which production is based. However, in one embodiment of the transport system according to the present disclosure, lengths can also be provided which can no longer be produced in one piece by cold forming.
Daher werden in einer Ausführungsform vor dem Aufcoilen auf eine Trommel mehre durch Kaltumformung hergestellte Drähte oder Bleche zu einem einzigen langen Draht oder Blech miteinander verbunden. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass kontinuierlich und ohne Unterbrechung Drahtmaterial oder Blechmaterial den Einrichtungen auf der Transportplattform, insbesondere dem Antrieb, der Richteinrichtung und optional der Schneideinrichtung, zugeführt werden können, ohne dass ein Eingreifen durch einen Benutzer erforderlich wäre.Therefore, in one embodiment, prior to coiling onto a drum, multiple cold formed wires or sheets are joined together into a single long wire or sheet. This has the advantage that the devices on the transport platform, in particular the drive, the wire material or sheet metal material continuously and without interruption Straightening device and optionally the cutting device, can be fed without the intervention of a user being required.
Daher weist das Transportsystem in einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Offenbarung einen gecoilten Draht oder ein gecoiltes Blech auf, wobei der Draht oder das Blech auf der Aufnahme aufgenommen ist. In einer Ausführungsform besteht der Draht oder das Blech aus einer Mehrzahl von an ihren Stirnflächen miteinander verbundenen, kaltumgeformten Abschnitte des Drahts oder des Blechs aus einem Edelstahl. Auf diese Weise lassen sich beispielsweise gecoilte Drähte und Bleche mit einer Länge von bis zu 17.000 m liefern, die dann vor Ort in Abschnitte des Drahts oder des Blechs mit den erforderlichen Längen geschnitten werden. In einer ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Trommel mit dem darauf gecoilten Draht oder Blech Teil des Transportsystems.Therefore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the transport system comprises a coiled wire or sheet, the wire or sheet being received on the nest. In one embodiment, the wire or sheet consists of a plurality of cold-formed sections of the wire or sheet made of a stainless steel and connected to one another at their end faces. In this way, for example, coiled wire and sheet can be supplied with a length of up to 17,000 m, which is then cut into sections of wire or sheet of the required lengths on site. In one embodiment of the invention, the drum with the wire or sheet metal coiled on it is part of the transport system.
Dabei kann die Verbindung mehrerer Drähte oder Bleche an ihren Stirnseiten zu einem langen Draht oder Blech, das dann gecoilt wird, auf ganz unterschiedliche Weisen erfolgen. In einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Offenbarung werden die einzelnen Drähte oder Bleche durch Schweißen miteinander verbunden. Zwar ändert das Verschweißen der einzelnen kaltumgeformten Abschnitte des Drahts oder des Blechs die Eigenschaften des Drahts oder Blechs im Bereich der Schweißstelle, allerdings kann die Schweißstelle bei der Entnahme von Abschnitten des Drahts oder des Blechs aus dem Transportsystem herausgeschnitten werden und als Verschnitt der Wiederverwertung zugeführt werden. Alternativ können die Enden zweier miteinander verbundener Drähte miteinander vercrimpt sein.Several wires or metal sheets can be connected at their end faces to form a long wire or metal sheet, which is then coiled, in very different ways. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the individual wires or sheets are joined together by welding. Although the welding of the individual cold-formed sections of the wire or sheet changes the properties of the wire or sheet in the area of the weld, the weld can be cut out when sections of the wire or sheet are removed from the transport system and recycled as waste . Alternatively, the ends of two interconnected wires can be crimped together.
In einer Ausführungsform gemäß der vorliegenden Offenbarung umfasst das Transportsystem eine Schweißnahterkennungseinrichtung, welche ggf. in der Materialflussrichtung vor der Schneideinrichtung angeordnet ist. Dabei ist die Schweißnahterkennungseinrichtung derart eingerichtet und angeordnet, dass sie eine Schweißnaht zwischen zwei mit einander verbundenen Drahtabschnitten oder Blechabschnitten erkennt. Eine solche Erkennung einer Schweißnaht kann beispielsweise mit Hilfe einer Kamera und einer geeigneten Bildauswertungssoftware oder aber mit Hilfe eines Wirbelstromsensors erfolgen. In einer Ausführungsform ist die Steuerung mit der Schweißnahterkennungseinrichtung verbunden und derart eingerichtet, dass sie die Schneideinrichtung so steuert, dass diese die Schweißnaht aus dem Draht oder dem Blech herausschneidet.In one embodiment according to the present disclosure, the transport system comprises a weld seam detection device, which is optionally arranged in front of the cutting device in the material flow direction. The weld seam detection device is set up and arranged in such a way that it detects a weld seam between two wire sections or sheet metal sections that are connected to one another. Such a detection of a weld seam can take place, for example, with the aid of a camera and suitable image analysis software or with the aid of an eddy current sensor. In one embodiment, the controller is connected to the weld seam detection device and set up in such a way that it controls the cutting device in such a way that it cuts the weld seam out of the wire or sheet metal.
In einer alternativen Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Offenbarung umfasst die Aufnahme für den Draht oder das Blech eine Haspel, auf welche ein ohne Kern oder Trommel lose gecoilter Draht oder Blech aufnehmbar ist. Ein solcher ohne einen Kern oder Trommel gecoilter Draht oder Blech wird auch als "Loose Coil" bezeichnet. Derartige Loose Coils können beispielsweise von einem Kunden immer wieder neu auf die Haspel aufgelegt werden, wenn das Material verbraucht ist.In an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the receptacle for the wire or sheet comprises a spool onto which a wire or sheet loosely coiled without a core or drum can be received. Such a wire or sheet coiled without a core or drum is also referred to as a "loose coil". Such loose coils can, for example, be placed on the coiler again and again by a customer when the material has been used up.
In einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Offenbarung umfasst die Aufnahme für den Draht oder das Blech neben der Haspel zum Auflegen eines Loose Coils eine Verstelleinrichtung, die einen Abzug des Drahts oder Blechs von der Haspel in der Höhe des Einlaufs in die übrigen Einrichtungen des Transportsystems ermöglicht. Neben einer solchen Höhenverstellung kann die Aufnahme auch eine Verschwenkeinrichtung aufweisen, die es ermöglicht, die Wickelachse der Haspel zu verschwenken. Dabei ist in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform die Wickelachse zum Auflegen des gecoilten Drahts oder Blechs durch einen Benutzer im Wesentlichen horizontal und zum Abziehen des gecoilten Drahts oder Blechs im Wesentlichen vertikal.In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the holder for the wire or sheet includes an adjusting device next to the coiler for placing a loose coil, which allows the wire or sheet to be withdrawn from the coiler at the height of the inlet into the other devices of the transport system. In addition to such a height adjustment, the receptacle can also have a pivoting device that makes it possible to pivot the winding axis of the reel. In a preferred embodiment, the winding axis for placing the coiled wire or sheet metal by a user is essentially horizontal and for removing the coiled wire or sheet metal essentially vertical.

Die Richteinrichtung dient dazu, den gecoilten Draht oder das gecoilte Blech wieder in eine gerade ausgestreckte Form mit der erforderlichen Geradheit zu bringen.The purpose of the straightening device is to bring the coiled wire or sheet metal back into a straight, stretched-out shape with the required straightness.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Offenbarung umfasst die Schneideinrichtung eine Säge oder einen Abstechkopf, welche ein Durchtrennen des Drahts oder Blechs ermöglichen. Auf diese Weise kann der Kunde dem Transportsystem Abschnitte des Drahts oder des Blechs beinahe beliebiger Länge fertig entnehmen. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform umfasst die Schneideinrichtung eine Stanze oder eine Laserschneideinrichtung zum Ausstanzen oder Ausschneiden beliebiger Formen aus dem Blech.In a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the cutting device comprises a saw or a cutting head, which enables the wire or sheet metal to be severed. In this way, the customer can remove ready-made sections of wire or sheet metal of almost any length from the transport system. In a further embodiment, the cutting device comprises a punch or a laser cutting device for punching out or cutting out any shapes from the sheet metal.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Offenbarung weist die Schneideinrichtung eine Kühlung zum Kühlen einer Schnittfläche des Drahts oder Blechs mit CO2 auf. Eine derartige Kühlung ist vorteilhaft zum Bereitstellen von Schnittflächen mit hoher Qualität.In a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the cutting device has a cooling system for cooling a cut surface of the wire or sheet metal with CO 2 . Such cooling is advantageous for providing high quality cut surfaces.
Es versteht sich, dass das Transportsystem über die notwendigen Einrichtungen, d. h. den Antrieb, die Richteinrichtung und optional die Schneideinrichtung, hinaus beliebige weitere Einrichtungen zur Be- bzw. Verarbeitung des Drahts oder Blechs aufweisen kann.It is understood that the transport system has the necessary facilities, i. H. the drive, the straightening device and optionally the cutting device, as well as any other devices for treating or processing the wire or sheet metal.
So weist das Transportsystem in einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Offenbarung eine auf der Transportplattform angeordnete Markiereinrichtung, beispielsweise einen Drucker, zum Kennzeichnen eines Abschnitts des Drahts oder des Blechs auf.
