Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The present disclosure relates to a transport system for a pipe, a wire or a sheet metal and a method for transporting a pipe, a wire or a sheet metal.

The present disclosure also relates to a method for delivering a pipe, a wire or a sheet metal.

BACKGROUND

A large number of tubes, but in particular cold-formed tubes made of stainless steel, but also wires or sheet metal, can only be processed with difficulty after the actual production without the material properties changing. High-pressure pipes made of stainless steel for injection systems in internal combustion engines are mentioned here as an example. Often processes and machines are required to process such pipes, wires or sheet metal, which the processor of the semi-finished products does not have available. It then follows that the pipes, wires or sheets must be ordered precisely and prefabricated from the manufacturer of the semi-finished product.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the aim is to create a transport system which enables the transport to and provision of pipes, wires or sheets of any length and with the required quality at the place of use of the semifinished product.

SUMMARY

The idea on which this transport system is based is to provide a transport system for straight sections of a pipe, a wire or a sheet metal with essentially any length that can be selected on site by the customer of the manufacturer of the pipe, wire or sheet metal. A straight pipe section, as it can be received in the bundle loader, however, typically does not meet customer requirements, at least with regard to its length. The transport system therefore enables the pipe, wire or sheet metal to be cut to length automatically at the point of use, i.e. at the customer. This makes it possible to have the transport system for the pipe, wire or sheet provided by the manufacturer of the semi-finished product, who, for example, assumes responsibility for the final processing at the customer's, whereby the customer only receives finished, isolated sections of the desired length from the transport platform and extracts quality. In one embodiment, the final processing is completely automated.
