  • the lifting beam in the raised state for example, extend in the horizontal direction or in an oblique direction.
  • the shears cut the precursor material passing through the shears to primary material sections with a length of 8 to 14 m.
  • the scissors produced so-called scrap pieces with a length of typically about 1 m.
  • the starting material section is pushed off the roller table transversely to the transport direction (for example in the horizontal direction).
  • the space next to the roller table is effectively used for temporarily storing the Vormaterialabitese, for example by a stacker.
  • a cast-rolling composite system of the type mentioned in which the means for cutting and conveying additionally comprises a clamping device for clamping the strand section, wherein the clamping device of the lifting device is downstream in the transport direction.
  • the clamping device ensures that the foot of the strand section is automatically pulled away by lifting the strand section of the scissors. This prevents a collision between the incoming starting material and the strand section.
  • the scissors is a pendulum scissors or a drum shears.
  • the clamping device comprises an actuating device and in a plane normal to the transport direction two strand guide rollers, wherein the strand guide rollers can be pressed by the actuating device to the strand section.
  • the Strand guide rollers pressed on the actuator to the strand section, so that is clamped on the frictional engagement between the strand guide rollers and the strand section of the strand section.
  • the actuator is particularly robust when it is designed as a hydraulic cylinder.
  • the clamping force can be easily adjusted and limited by the hydraulic pressure.
  • the lifting device comprises at least one lifting cylinder and at least one lifting beam oriented transversely to the transport direction, wherein the lifting beam can be lifted by the lifting cylinder in the vertical direction and lowered again.
  • the discharge device comprises at least one stripping cylinder, whereby a starting material section can be pushed off the roller table by the stripping cylinder transversely to the transport direction (for example in the horizontal direction).
  • a lifting device between two discharge devices or a discharge device between two lifting devices is arranged in the transport direction.
  • a lifting device and / or a discharge device is arranged between two roller conveyor rollers following in the direction of transport.
  • the lifting device in the lowered state and the discharge device are arranged in a single region of a roller table between the scissors and the clamping device.
  • Fig. 1 shows one from the WO 2009/121678 A1 1.
  • a continuous casting machine 2 continuously produces a starting material 3 in the form of a thin slab strand, which is transported via a roller table 4 to a rough rolling mill 5.
  • the starting material 3 passes through uncut, ie as a strand, a means for cutting and conveying 6 before the temperature of the starting material is set in a heating section 12 to rolling temperature.
  • a descaling plant 13 which is upstream of a finishing train 14
  • the descaled starting material is rolled in the single or multi-stand finishing train 14.
  • the finished rolled material is then cooled in a cooling section 15, cut by a pair of scissors 16 to a certain product length or a certain product weight and then wound up by a storage device 17 designed as a take-up device.
  • the roller table 4 connects all parts of the plant between the horizontal strand guide of the continuous casting machine 2 and the storage device 17th
  • Fig. 2 is the device for cutting and conveying 6 of Fig. 1 shown comprising a first scissors 9a, a discharge device 8, a second scissors 9b, a lowerable roller table 18 and a lifting device 11.
  • the starting material 3 is severed by the second scissors 9b, whereby a strand section 21 is formed behind the second scissors 9b.
  • Vormaterial 3 the strand portion 21 of a Lifting device 11 is raised.
  • the second material 9b passing through the starting material 3 is divided by the scissors 9b on scrap pieces 19, which are conveyed out via a lowerable roller table 18. Since the scrap pieces 19 are generally difficult to exploit, after the occurrence of the disturbance, the starting material 3 is cut off by a first pair of scissors 9a to precursor material portions 10, each having a length of 8-14 m, the preliminary material portions 10 being transversely across the outfeed unit 8 are transported to the transport direction 7 from the roller table 4.
  • a disadvantage of the device for cutting and Auscleann 6 according to the prior art is that the length of the device 6 is about 16 m, relatively cools the starting material 3 in continuous operation due to the residence time of the starting material 3 in the device 6th a relatively strong scaling is formed, and that the investment and operating costs of the device for cutting and Auscleann 6 and the cast-rolling composite system 1 are relatively high.
