Abstract
A shearing and coiling assembly for hot rolled stock with a thickness of between 0.5 and more than 5 mm, comprising a shearing unit (,) and a coiling machine (,) comprising a turntable assembly (,) rotating around an axis of rotation (,) orthogonal to the axis of feed of the rolled stock and lying on a plane substantially parallel to the plane of feed (,) of the rolled stock. The turntable assembly (,) supports two coiling mandrels (,) arranged diametrically opposite each other and with an axis parallel to the axis of rotation (,). The turntable assembly (,) includes at least a first operating position wherein the first mandrel (,) is in a position awaiting the leading end of the rolled stock and ready to begin coiling, substantially cooperating with the plane of feed (,) and at least a second operating position, rotated by 180° with respect to the first operating position, wherein the first mandrel (,) is in a position where the rolled stock is completely coiled and the coil (,) is ready to be discharged and the second mandrel (,) is in a position awaiting the leading end of the rolled stock and ready to begin coiling. The shearing unit (,) can be moved between a working position in which it is aligned with the plane of feed (,) of the rolled stock, and an inactive position distant from the plane of feed (,).
