Abstract:
A coiling machine for rolled stock located downstream of a rolling train (11), comprising;(i) a stationary structure (23);(ii) a mandrel (20) cantilever mounted on the stationary structure (23) and rotatable around an axis of rotation (21), the mandrel comprising a cylindrical surface having an outer end, and a first lateral wall (24) orthogonal to the axis of rotation (21); anda containing plate (29) pivotally mounted on the stationary structure (23) for being movable between a working position, wherein the containing plate (29) is arranged substantially orthogonal to the axis of rotation so as to define a second lateral wall parallel to the first lateral (24) wall, to allow the coil of rolled stock (12) to be formed, and an inactive position, wherein the containing plate (29) is lowered with respect to the mandrel so as to allow the coil of rolled stock (12) to be axially removed from the outer end of the cylindrical surface of the mandrel (20).
