IPC: B21C47/24
Filed: 1965-07-26
Abstract: 1,151,905. Unwinding. UNITED ENG. & FOUNDRY CO. 18 July, 1966 [26 July, 1965], No. 31876/65. Heading B3E. Apparatus for feeding coils of strip from a conveyer to an uncoiler include two successive coil elevating means between the conveyer and the uncoiler, the vertical position of the second elevating means being controlled by means measuring the displacement of the first elevating means which displacement is dependent on the diameter of the coil, the second elevation means thus locating the coil in position for engagement by the coil rotating member of the uncoiler. A coil is deposited by a conveyer 12 on to a cradle 16 which is swung by piston and cylinder means 18 to transfer the coil on to rollers 35, 36 of first lift means 32. A limit switch 45, operated by a small roller 43 between the rollers 35, 36, then causes piston and cylinder means 34 to raise the lift 32 until the coil supported thereby engages a hold-down roller 46 to actuate a switch 52. The extent of the rise of the lift 32 gives an indication of the diameter of the coil and is measured by a pulse-counter 62 driven by a rack 58 on the lift 32. The support rolls 35, 36 and roller 46 are then driven, to feed the strip end over a peeler 53, over shelves 55 and between the separated rolls of a pinch roll unit 56 until a proximity switch 50 stops the feed, the peeler 53 being moved away from the strip, after the end has thus been straightened. The lift 32 is then lowered so that the centre of the coil is a predetermined distance above the axis of the uncoiler, the second lift 63 is raised by piston and cylinder means 65 a distance determined by the diameter of the coil and the roller 35 is then raised by means 38 so that coil rolls over a lowered platform 42 on to rolls 66, 67 of the lift 63, a roll 75 having been positioned to absorb the inertia of the coil. Mandrels 74 then move in to engage the coil and feed the strip to a rolling mill 10, the pinch rolls of the unit 56 closing on the strip, the shelves 55 having been retracted to allow the strip to fall on to platforms 57a, 57b. A switch 82 produces a signal, when the trailing end of a coil has left the uncoiler, to actuate the means 38.
