Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate maloperation by fitting a level to the material size in a short time. CONSTITUTION:A driving mechanism 7 having a motor 8 changes an inclination of a lever 2 with a pin 2b as its center. Connecting bars 5 and 6 transmit the inclination of the lever 2 to the other levers 3 and 4. These levers 2, 3 and 4 are connected to a material receiver 1 by means of pins 2a, 3a and 4a, and a vertical position of the material receiver 1 is changed to a level according to the inclination of the levers 2, 3 and 4.

2. Description of the Related Art If a single machine tool, for example, a cutting machine for cutting a steel pipe with a disk or a cutting tool, is used to produce a large amount of a small amount of products, the diameter of the material is changed more than 10 times a day. There is a need. The material supply device for supplying the material to the cutting machine is also adjusted each time according to the difference in the size (diameter) of the material to be processed.

Further, in the prior art shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, since the mechanism is such that only the tip end of the material from the machine tool is moved up and down, a material having a length of 5 to 6 m and a thickness of several mm outside diameter is used. When handling, not only is it difficult to supply the material in the correct posture to the cutting machine in the next process, but the material size that can be selected is 4
There is only one type, and in addition, in order to select the position of the material receiver, it is necessary to operate two of the valve that supplies the pneumatic pressure to the pneumatic cylinder and the manual lever 114, and the operation is troublesome. There was a problem.

Moreover, this latter prior art technique requires the valve and manual lever 114 to select four different material sizes.
There is also a problem in that there is a high possibility of an erroneous operation in which the material receiver is moved to a position with a different material size by mistake due to the combination of the respective two positions.
