A combined apparatus is provided for handling rolled material issuing from a rolling mill finishing line. An arrangement is provided for cropping the head and tail ends of the rolled material running at high speed after it is divided into the desired lengths and for diverting the cropped lengths to a path separate from the cropped ends. Also, arrangements are provided for coordinating the actual speed of the issuing rolled material with the rotary shears for dividing the rolled material into lengths. In addition, arrangements are provided for the controlled chopping of the cropped ends in relation to the speed of the line.

Apparatus for cropping, dividing and reducing rolled material at high

A device is provided for the high speed severing into lengths of an elongated material product issuing continuously at high speeds from refined steel mills or wire mills. The product may be rolled wire, for example, moving continuously from the mill through rotating guides. The invention incorporates cooperating radially movable shears directly into two cooperating rotating guides for the wire. The shears are connected to reversible pressure fluid piston and cylinder arrangements also incorporated into the cooperating rotating guides. Actuation of the shears from retracted to cutting positions and vice versa is through pressure fluid lines positioned in the axis of the rotating guides and connected to controls for coordinating the speed of the material to be cut and the speed of the rotating guides with the movement of the shears.
