Abstract:
1. A device for cutting and removing wires from bales, the bales having at least two of the wires, the device comprising: a first cutting unit and a second cutting unit; a first winding unit and a second winding unit; the first cutting unit and the first winding unit positioned opposite each other, on opposite sides of a working location (W) that receives one of the bales during the cutting and removing of the wires by the device, and the second cutting unit and the second winding unit positioned on opposite sides of the working location, the first cutting unit and the first winding unit being configured for a cutting off and removal, respectively, of a first wire of two wires that are arranged in parallel, and the second cutting unit and the second winding unit being configured for a cutting off and removal, respectively, of a second wire of the two wires that are arranged in parallel, the first cutting unit, the second cutting unit, the first winding unit, and the second winding unit each having a sensor adapted for the detection of each wire before the cutting and removal thereof, the cutting units and the winding units being movable along an axis towards and away from the working location, and the first and second cutting units being arranged to move sideways with respect to the axis independently of one another, and the first and second winding units being arranged to move sideways with respect to the axis independently of one another, in order to position the cutting units and winding units with respect to the first and second wires by means of the wire detections of the sensors.
