Abstract
A runout table for receiving severed lengths of tubing or other workpieces emanating from cutoff presses and discharging the severed lengths laterally on either side of the table. The runout table features pivoted Vee sides which are independently dropped to discharge the severed lengths on either side of the runout table. The pivoting movement is carried out by means of rocker shafts extending down the length of the runout table on either side, equipped with linkages spaced along the length thereof and connected to the respective Vee sides. The rocker shafts serve to provide support of the table Vee sides to prevent sagging of the Vee sides. A pair of power cylinder assemblies operate the rocker shafts acting against adjustable fixed stops which enable quick adjustment of the Vee angle to accommodate tubing of various diameters. An auxiliary cylinder is provided for either side, overcoming dead center conditions in the linkages upon initiation of a pivoting cycle.
