Device to separate without gaps the trailing end of a leading individual length of rolled stock and the leading end of a following length, which are parted from a rolled billet by cross-cutting shears, in the live-roller feed bed upstream of cooling beds, comprises a separate trough section disposed downstream of a switch in the form of a separating diverter subdivided into two parallel longitudinal sections, one with a fixed trough section and one vertically displaceable trough section which forms a depressed portion at a lower level. The switch and the trough section are jointly displaceable in the same direction transversely to the conveying direction in a horizontal plane by a displacement device in such a way that the leading end passes over the trough section in a curved path directed in an inclined manner towards the outer lateral wall of the fixed trough section and after the switch has been shifted the trailing end of the length is drawn in through the trough section disposed at a lower level and forming a depressed portion avoiding lashing of the trailing end of the length discharged from the switch and resultant surface damage even at high run-up speeds.

Live-roller feed bed for conveying individual lengths of rolled stock in

Rolled stock running out of a rolling mill is parted into lengths suitable for the cooling bed. Rolled stock cross sections of various sizes are retarded both at approach speeds of more than approximately 20 m/sec and slower, alongside the cooling bed in an approach roller feed bed and then transversely conveyed over the cooling bed. In order to avoid requiring an uneconomically long cooling bed as a result of the sequence times of the lengths of rolled stock, three or more longitudinal braking sections are arranged side by side to enable thin lengths at a high approach speed to be retarded in rapid succession and conveyed across to the cooling bed. Covering means of the braking sections are constructed to provide additional retardation of the lengths, e.g. by blowing air, by lowering brake shoes or by the action of linear electromagnetic motors.

Rolled stock is conveyed from two side-by-side rolling mills to two cooling beds. Stock can be conveyed from each mill to either one or the other of the cooling beds. Two swingable rollerway sections are provided in each rolled stock line connecting the mills and the cooling beds. These sections can be swung out to transfer stock from one rolled stock line to the other.
