Wire measuring and Schneidevorrichtung and procedure for the measurement of the length of a wire.

The available invention concerns Drahtmessund Schneidevorrichtung and a procedure for the measurement of the length of a Drahtes.

The Fig. 1 and 2 shows a conventional, in the Japanese unchecked patent publication (kokai) No. 9-27 222 revealed Drahtmessund Schneidevorrichtung.

As in Fig. 1 represented, covers Drahtmessund Schneidevorrichtung 100 a wire supply unit 101, which pulls a wire W of large longitudinal dimension of a not represented wire supply and continuously along a designated accomplishing course PL supplies these, a guidance unit 102, which after the supply unit 101 and equipped with a U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt 103 for leading the supplied wire W to an essentially u-shaped guidance passage 103a to bending the wire W into an essentially u-shaped organization isf, a clamping unit 104 follows for holding the wire W and a cut unit 105 for cutting the wire W.

The wire supply unit 101 covers measuring roles of 120, which are composed of a pair of coder roles, and several supply roles of 121.

As in Fig. represented, the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt 103 developed 2 with a firm guidance section 106 is, a movable guidance section 107 and a shift device 108. The movable section 107 is in such a manner swivelling carried by the firm guidance section 106 that on the one hand an essentially u-shaped guidance section 103 in a closed position of the section 107 is formed and on the other hand also the passage 103a in the opened position is opened. The shift device 108 works in such a manner that it shifts the movable guidance section 107 between the closed position and the opened position, at this arrangement is made the firm guidance section 106 of an essentially semicircular element with an essentially semicircular, convex extent 106a, while the movable Führungsabschnitf 107 of an essentially u-shaped element with an essentially semicircular, concave extent 107a is made, which are oppositely arranged the above extent 106a in the closed position of the section 107. On the concave extent 107a an extent recess is trained, which defines the guidance passage 103a as well as the extent 106a mentioned above, if the movable guidance section 107 is in the closed position. Furthermore the firm guidance section 106 equipped with a Tragsäule 110 is, which stands on it and exhibits a pin element 111, which rises up to the right and left in horizontal direction. The movable guidance section 107 is turningarticulated arranged attached at the firm guidance section 106, there moment arms 109, which are trained on both sides of the section 107, swivelling at the pin element 111 sind.

The shift device 108 covers a cylinder 114, whose Rehrseite is turningarticulated at the piece of attachment of 112, which to the Tragsäule 110 is fastened, arranged, and its bar side is turningarticulated at a Verbíndungsstück 113, which to the movable guidance section 107 is fastened, arranged. During the expansion of a bar of the cylinder 114 the shift device 108 makes a shift for the movable guidance section possible 107 to the closed position, whereby the guidance passage 103a is defined (see Fig. 2). However the shift device 108 makes with the contraction of the bar of the cylinder 114 for the movable guidance section possible 107 a turn from the closed position to the opened position upward (direction of arrow in Fig. 2), whereby the Führungsdurehgang 103a opened wird.

During the represented conventional device the clamping unit 104 between the wire supply unit 101 is arranged and the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt 103 and from a first clamp 115, which corresponds to an entrance of the guidance passage 103a defined in the section 103, and a second clamp 116 developed, which a withdrawal of the guidance passage 103a entspricht.

Gem& ss in such a manner developed Drahtmessund Schneidevorrichtung 100 is inserted the wire W supplied by the wire-rod guide unit 101 first into the guidance passage 103a of the guidance section 103 by the first clamp 115, so that the wire W is bent in the essentially u-shaped way. The direction in this way of the bent wire W is wedged by the second clamp 116, shifted next in the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt 103 the movable guidance section 107 by the shift device 108 to the opened position, so that itself the guidance passage l û3a öffnet.

Subsequently, the wire W is continued to pull out by the wire supply unit 101, in order to measure the length of the wire W. During the opening condition of the guidance passage 103the pulled out wire W does not disturb the movable guidance section 107 due to the fact that the movable guidance section 107 takes the opened position, which results from the shift in to the wire supply direction the senkrechten direction, whereby the speed of the measuring procedure makes possible wird.

However Drahtmessund Schneidevorrichtung 100 mentioned above exhibits a problem, which is in the following stated. The problem consists of the fact that for certain reasons the movable guidance section 107 bends due to its structure of an a disk element to be difficult and large dimensions exhibit; the shift of the movable guidance section 107 is implemented perpendicularly to the opened position in the upward direction to the wire supply direction; and that the same shift is only implemented by the cylinder 114, whereby the section 107 is inclined to it, with a movement the opened position to become slow. A such, slow movement of the section 107 causes a partitioning of the measuring procedure into a first stage, in order to bend the 3 CH 693,577 A5 4 wire W in the essentially u-shaped way, and a second stage, in order to induce the section 107 to the opened position, so that the procedure is usually by a time delay from at least 0.3 to 0.5 s between the first stage and the second stage accompanied, which removes from the speed of a measuring procedure far ist.

Additionally, since the Õffnungsund is essentially perpendicular the closing direction of the movable guidance section 107 to the wire supply direction of the wire W, then, if it is pulled out before complete opening of the movable guidance section 107, the possibility develops that the wire festhakt itself, since the wire W enters the extent range of the guidance section 107. Therefore the necessity was up to now given to arrange the drawing procedure of the wire in such a manner W that it is ready for complete opening of the movable guidance section 107, which removes from the speed of a measuring procedure likewise far ist.

Under such circumstances it is from there a task of the available invention to create Drahtmessund Schneidevorrichtung and a procedure for the measurement of the length of a wire it is possible by which it to implement the opening procedure of the guidance passage in the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt fast and to supply the wire during the opened condition of the guidance passage continuously whereby the speed of the measuring procedure realizable ist.

The task of the available invention can be solved by Drahtmessund Schneidevorrichtung, which covers:

a wire supply unit with measuring roles for measuring the length of a wire, in order to supply thereby the wire along a designated accomplishing course; a guidance unit, yields equipped is with a U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt, which exhibits a firm guidance section and a movable guidance section, which concerning the firm guidance section in a such way is turningarticulated arranged that then, if the movable guidance section is in its closed position it defines an essentially u-shaped guidance passage concerning the firm guidance section, and then, if the movable guidance section is in its opened position, it outward makes possible for the u-shaped guidance passage opening, whereby the U-curvature-Fahrungsabschnitt is curved in an essentially u-shaped way and furthermore into the u-shaped guidance passage leads the wire supplied by the wire supply unit; and Klemmund Schneidevorrichtung for wedging and cutting the wire; whereby the movable guidance section from a pair of guiding pieces is developed, which are turningarticulated arranged at the firm guidance section that they embody the movable guidance section in the closed position, if the guiding pieces are together closed, and furthermore the movable Führungsabschnltt in the opened position embody, if the guiding pieces are together opened parallel to a direction to supplying the wire; 'and whereby the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt is equipped with a shift device, which can hold the pair of guiding pieces in the closed position and which can shift the guiding pieces in another case to the opened position in a case, whereby this is accompanied by a supply inertia of the wire in the process of a measurement of the length of the Drahtes.

With the invention specified above it is possible due to the fact that the education and opening of the guidance passage are.ausgeführt. by together latches and opening of two guiding pieces, yield bew. the .egbaren guidance section form, to reduce Offnungs /Sch] the iess stroke and the load at the movable guidance. .abschnitt which necessarily for forming and Offnen of the guidance passage ist.

During the arrangement two guiding pieces are not only held in the closed position by the Verschiebungsvorñchtung, but to the opened position shifted, thus as if they would be by the wire understood in supply to an opening g.ezwungen, whereby this due to the combination of the Offnungskraft of the shift device with the supply inertia of the wire erfolgt.

In addition it is due to the fact that two guiding pieces are in such a manner adapted that both open parallel to the supply direction of the wire, possible, to open the guiding pieces without increase of the supply load for the wire and furthermore to lead the wire into the supply direction during itself the guiding pieces in the opened position befinden.

With, the available invention mentioned above it is to be preferred that the guidance unit is equipped with a guidance block, in which U-curvature-Führungsab-cut is arranged, and more softly a Vorund to would drive a back path the wire through these through exhibits, whereby these are in such a manner trained that an opening on the lower surface of the guidance block takes place, whereby a correspondence with an entrance and a withdrawal of the guidance passage is present in each case, furthermore and it is preferentially that both the Vorals also the back path on respective lower sides are in such a manner adapted of the fact that a reasoning by a Schliessvorrichtung erfolgt.

To this case the wire supplied by the wire supply unit is introduced into the guidance passage of the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitts over the Vorpfad of the guidance block and to the back path the guidance block by the guidance passage unloaded. Loading and unloading the wire concerning the guidance passage can be implemented evenly, while due to the protection of the guidance block with the closed Schliessvorrichtung avoided the disturbance of other elements wird.

Furthermore the wire in the Vorund the back path can far away from the block due to the opening manipulation of the Schliessvorrichtung problem-free werden.

With the invention mentioned above the shift device preferably covers:

a claw section in interference with both guiding pieces, in order to hold thereby the guiding pieces in the closed position; CH 693,577 A5 6 a Solenoidanordnung, whereby the Solenoidanordnung shifts the claw section to an interference release position, in connection with the claw section, at which the claw section from the guiding pieces separates, if a signal is entered, which the wire on first designated position in the process of a measurement of the length of the wire confirmed; and a cylinder arrangement for inducing the guiding pieces to the opened or closed positions, whereby the cylinder arrangement works in such a manner the fact that it presses the guiding pieces the positions opened from the closed positions to, if a signal is entered, which designated the wire on second position confirmed, at which the length of the wire is shorter than that on first marked Position.

In accordance with above mentioned invention causes interference solution claw section due to fact that the cylinder arrangement the guiding pieces, which are held due to the interference of the claw section in for the closed positions, to which opened positions presses an opening of the guiding pieces to the respective opened positions with high speed due to both the thrust force of the cylinder arrangement and the supply inertia of the Drahtes.

Klemmund Schneidevorrichtung preferably covers: a first clamping unit, which works in such a manner the fact that a beginning of wedging the wire takes place after passing the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitts, if the confirmation signal is entered, which designated the wire on first position indicates; a second clamping unit, which works in such a manner that wedging the wire takes place before reaching the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitts, if the confirmation signal is entered, which indicates that the measurement of the wire was locked; a cut unit for cutting the wire wedged by first and the second clamping unit to a pre-determined length; and a transportation unit, which does not only serve first and the second clamping unit in respective positions, which make a wedging possible of the wire for holding, but furthermore a cut wire with wedging transport, around it thereby in transportation clamps too schlagen.

In the enterprise the first clamping unit wedges the wire almost at the same time with the release of an interference of the claw section with the guiding pieces, while the second clamping unit wedges the wire if the clamping procedure of the first clamping unit is final. Afterwards the supply of a wire is maintained so for a long time, until the second clamping unit begins to wedge the wire and becomes the supply beendet.

Furthermore the cut unit is able, the wire wedged by first and the second clamping unit evenly too schneiden.

Furthermore is it due to fact that the cut wire by moving first and the second clamping unit, which the cut wire wedges, by which transportation unit can be struck into the transportation clamp possible, the cut wire fast from the cut procedure to the impact procedure too verschieben.

With, the available invention mentioned above it is preferential furthermore that the first clamping unit covers a pair of first clamping sections, which in such a manner arranged in each case are that a movement takes place upward and down in two first throughholes, which are in such a manner trained the fact that they penetrate upward and down the guidance block durchto, while in it the back path is contained, and in a suitable distance is arranged along the back path; the second clamping unit a pair of second clamping sections covers, which in such a manner arranged in each case are that a movement takes place upward and down in two second throughholes, which are in such a manner trained the fact that they penetrate the guidance block upward and down, while in it the Vorpfad is contained, and in a geeigrieten distance is arranged along the Vorpfads; the Schliessvorrichtung is in such a manner adapted that it opens with the fall first and the second clamping unit; and that the transportation clamps are in such a manner movably arranged that stopping at respective intermediate positions both first and the second throughholes of the Vorund of the back path intermittently erfolgt.

In accordance with the Austührungsbeispiel the movement distance first and the second clamping unit, which are necessary for striking the cut wire into the transportation clamp, can be specified small, over thereby the operating speed too erhöhen.

due to the fact that first and the second clamping unit and the transportation clamp are three-dimensional closely arranged at the guidance block, With the available invention preferably at least one clamping unit of first and the second clamping unit is equipped with an auxiliary engine to wedge around the wire and these freizugeben.

In this case this knows a high reliability regarding wedging and releasing the wire aufweisen.

due to the fact that at least one clamping unit is propelled by the auxiliary engine, Furthermore it is possible due to the fact that the clamping unit is to the torque price increase with wedging the wire for the attitude of a Klemmkraft able, to react to changes of the diameter of the wire problem-free. Furthermore a point length of the cut wire can along the supply direction by the clamping procedure of the first clamping unit exactly steered werden.

A procedure, creative to, is furthermore according to invention measurement of a length of a wire with Drahtmessund gumption device mentioned above, the which covers following steps:

Supply the wire to a U-KrümmungsFührungsabschnitt and the sequential bending of the wire in an essentially u-shaped way; and opening the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitts, in order to measure thereby the length of the wire; whereby supplying the wire up to the Ab7 CH 693,577 A5 8 shot of the measuring step is continued, so that the opening procedure of the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitts accompanies implemented and from a supply inertia of the wire understood in supply wird.

With the procedure mentioned above the measuring procedure can fast implemented werden.

due to the fact that the supply of the wire in the process of a measurement of the wire is not stopped, These and further characteristics of the available invention come out from the following description and the enclosed requirements in connection with the enclosed design more clearly. Show:

A remark example of the available invention becomes with reference to the enclosed design beschrieben.

The Fig. 3 to 8 represents Drahtmessund Schneidevorrichtung 1 in agreement with the remark example of the invention. Drahtmessund Schneidevorrichtung 1 covers a wire supply unit 2, a guidance unit 3 and Klemmund Schneidevorrichtung 7th equipped with a pair of measuring roles 25 for measuring the length of a wire W supplies the wire supply unit 2 the wire W along a pre-determined accomplishing course PL. The guidance unit 3 is developed with a firm guidance section 4 and a movable guidance section 5, which both form a U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt 6. The U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt 6 works in such a manner that it in such a manner leads the wire W understood by the wire supply unit 2 in supply that the wire W is bent in an essentially u-shaped way. The movable guidance section is in such a manner swivelling carried by the firm guidance section 4 that on the one hand an essentially u-shaped guidance passage 5b (see Fig. 4) in a closed position of the section 5 and on the other hand furthermore the passage 5 in the opened position is formed opened wird.

The movable guidance section 5 is thus composed of two guiding pieces 5a, 5a, which are turningarticulated stored, so that the section its closed position (see Fig. 4) takes if both guiding pieces 5a, 5a are together closed, and furthermore its opened position takes (see Fig. 3 and 6) takes, if both guiding pieces 5a, 5a are together opened. The U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt 6 is equipped with a shift device 8, which holds the guiding pieces 5a, 5a in the closed position and shifts it furthermore to the opened position, whereby this due to the supply inertia of the wire W in the process of its measurement erfolgt.

As in Fig. represented, the accomplishing course PL is composed 3 of each wire-rod guide nozzle 20 in a wire-rod guide jet arrangement 21, is built to which in a jet propulsion device 28. That means the fact that the wire-rod guide jet arrangement 21, which to the jet propulsion device 28 is installed by a synchronous belt 22 is intermittently propelled, so that each wire-rod guide nozzle can be stopped at a designated position according to the accomplishing course PL. Thus the wire-rod guide nozzle 20 standing at the above, designated position forms the accomplishing course PL. the wire W thus is supplied, during it a nozzle (hole) 23 of the wire-rod guide nozzle 20 penetrates. It is pointed out that Fig. 3 a situation represents, in which the wire-rod guide nozzles 20 of the wire-rod guide jet arrangement 21 partly eliminated and the wire-rod guide jet arrangement 21 yet were not locked. The attachment of the wire-rod guide jet arrangement 21 at the jet propulsion device 28 can be achieved, there the upper section of the arrangement 21, which from the condition of Fig. 3 one lowers, in interference with interference claws 29 ist.

The wire supply unit 2 is positioned and from a pair of supply roles 24, the pair of measuring roles of 25 and a pair of connecting collection roles of 26 developed on both sides of the wire-rod guide nozzle 20, which forms the accomplishing course PL, whereby all of these pairs into respective wire clamping areas 20a, 20b and 20c of each wire-rod guide nozzle 20 entering and the nozzle 23 the imported wire W klemmen.

The firm guidance section 4, which forms the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt 6 on a page 9 CH 693,577 A5, is arranged in the form of a semicircular plate, while the movable guidance section from two guiding pieces 5a, 5a is developed, which are through lower parts of an element of arc, which borders on the curved extent range of the firm guidance section 4, in two pieces in the section of the element, which is to the top side of the curved handling surface neighbouring, intended, and likewise intended by turningarticulated arranging of the resulting ends of the pieces on the opposite side of respective ends of the pieces, which result from the above partitioning. On the condition that the guiding pieces SA, 5a are understood in locking, then the guidance passage 5b becomes the curved the Umfangstläche of of the firm by guidance section 4 and/or respective recesses, which are trained in the surfaces of the guiding pieces 5a, 5a, which are with the curved extent range of the section 4 in contact, definiert.

The guidance unit 3 is developed with the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt 6. That is, that the guidance unit 3 a guidance block 9 enclosure, where the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt 6 is trained, like this in Fig. 4 is represented. In order to make a passing possible of the wire W, the guidance block 9 exhibits a Vorpfad 10 and a back path 11, which are trained according to the entrance and the withdrawal of the Fü.hrungsdurchgangs 5b in each case, so that a Offnung at the lower surface of the guidance block 9 takes place. In addition both the Vorals also the back path 10, 11 on respective lower sides are in such a manner adapted of the fact that they are closed by a Schliessvorrichtung 12 (see Fig. 5). The Schliessvorrichtung 12 is composed of two disk bodies according to the Vorund the back path 10, 11, and Öffnungsund of the Sch iessvorgang the Schliessvorrichtung the 12 is implemented by a lockcylinder 27, which connected with the respective disk bodies ist.

With the structure mentioned above the wire W supplied by the wire supply unit 2 is introduced into the guidance passage self-service of the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitts 6 over the Vorpfad 10 of the guidance block 9 and to the back path 11 of the guidance block 9 by the guidance passage 5b entladen.

Loading and unloading the wire W concerning the passage 5b can be implemented evenly, while the disturbance of another element is avoided due to the protection of the guidance block 9 with the closed Schliessvorrichtung 12. It is pointed out that the wire W in the paths 10, 11 of the block 9 of it can be removed problem-free, by the Schlíessvorrichtung 12 opened wird.

The verse blow device 8 covers a claw section 13 (see Fig. 5), which with both guiding pieces 5a to hold 5a in interference is, in order it in the closed position a Solenoidanordnung 14, which with the claw section 13 in connection is, in order it into the Eingriftlöseposition to shift, if a signal is entered, which the wire W on first designated position in the process confirmed by its measurement, and a pair positions closed opened by cylinder arrangements 15, 15 for inducing the guiding pieces SA, 5a to its and/or. Furthermore the cylinder arrangements 15, 15 work at an input of a signal, which the wire W at a zweiù ten designated position confirmed, at which the length of the wire W are shorter than that on first designated position, in such a manner that them the guiding pieces SA, SA the positions opened from the closed positions to drücken.

As in Fig. 5 represented, the claw section 13 is trained at a point of a rod body, whereby the basis section is arranged of it at the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt 6 and furthermore an turningarticulated arrangement at the side of the guidance block 9 is present. In the enterprise the claw section is 13 in the position to intervene with the separable ends of the guiding pieces 5a, 5a at the same time around them thereby in the geschlossehen positions too halten.

As in Fig. represented, the Solenoidanordnung 14 a clamp 14b, which is with the point of the rod body, which contains the claw section 13, covers 5, in connection, and a feather/spring 14a, which around the clamp 14b is wound, in order to press the claw section 13 to the interference position. In the enterprise in the initial phase of a supply of the wire W the claw section 13 by the feather/spring 14a is held on the interference position. On the other hand the clamp makes a shift of the claw section 13 for 14b possible, if the confirmation signal first designated position in the process of measuring the wire W by the measuring roles of 25 one enters, to the interference release position against Kraft of the feather/spring 14a (see Fig. 7).

The cylinder arrangements 15, 15 are in connection with respective turning sections of guiding pieces 5a, 5a (see Fig. 3 and 4), in order to close and open thereby these. Repetitive it works, if the signal for confirming the wire W on second designated position is entered, on which the length of the wire W is shorter than on the first designated position which cylinder arrangements 15, 15 in such a manner that they press the guiding pieces SA, 5the positions opened from the closed positions to. During entering the confirmation signal second position both guiding pieces 5a, for 5a despite pressing the cylinder arrangements 15, marked 15 in the closed position are held, there the claw section 13 in the interference position held wird.

In accordance with in such a manner developed shift device 8 causes release interference claw section 13 due to fact that the cylinder arrangements 15, 15 the guiding pieces 5a, 5a, which involge of the interference of the claw section 13 in for the closed positions is held, to which opened positions is pressed opening the guiding pieces 5a, 5a to the respective opened positions with high speed due to both the thrust force of the cylinder arrangements 15, 15 and the inertia of the wire W.<br begriftenen in supply/> Klemmund Schneidevorrichtung 7 covers a first clamping unit 16, a second Klemmein11 CH 693,577 A5 12 heit 17, a cut unit 19 for cutting the wire W to a pre-determined length and a transportation unit 30 wedged by first and the second clamping unit 16, 17. It is pointed out that at the device 7 the first clamping unit 16 works in such a manner that a beginning of wedging the wire W takes place after passing the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitts 6, if the confirmation signal is entered, which, first designated the wire W at the above position indicate, while the second clamping unit 17 works in such a manner that wedging the wire W takes place before reaching the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitts 6, if the confirmation signal is entered, which indicates that measuring the wire W was locked. The transportation unit serves not only for holding first and the second clamping unit 16, 17 in respective positions, which are able to wedge the wire W but transported furthermore the cut wire W1 with wedging, around it thereby into a transportation clamp 32 too schlagen.

In accordance with the structure mentioned above the first clamping unit 16 wedges the wire W to that essentially identical time of the interference release action of the claw 13 from the guiding pieces 5a, 5a. The clamping procedure of the wire W implemented by the first clamping unit 16 causes a further increase of the supply inertia at the wire W with a loosening of the guiding pieces 5a, 5a. The second clamping unit 17 begins a wedging of the wire W during an input of the confirmation signal that measuring of the wire W is final by the measuring roles, since the wire W was wedged by the first clamping unit 16. Then the supply of the wire W was continued, to the wire W by the second clamping unit 17 wedged ist.

Once if the wire W is wedged, then the supply becomes beendet.

As in Fig. represented, the cut unit 19 a Schneidevorrichtung 19a, which exactly before the entrance for a wire W of the Vorpfads 10 in the guidance block 9 is arranged, covers 4, and a cut cylinder 19b for propelling the Schneidevorrichtung 19a. During input of the confirmation signal, which indicates the completion of measuring the wire to W of the measuring roles of 25, the cut cylinder is activated lgb, in order to cut the wire off W to the designated length by the Schneidevorrichtung 19a. Like that the cut unit 19 is stable able, that by first and the second clamping unit 16, 17 wire held W abzuschneiden.

Furthermore the transportation unit 30 covers a liaison vehicle 18, which secures first and the second clamping unit 16, 17 to it, and a transportation cylinder 31, which with the liaison vehicle 18 in connection is (see Fig. 3 and 4). With the transportation unit 30 the transportation cylinder 31 is activated by entering the confirmation signal, which indicates the conclusion of cutting the cut cylinder to 19b, so that first and the second clamping unit 16, 17, which wedge the cut wire W1, from the position can be moved, which makes a wedging of the wire for W possible. Since the cut wire W1 due to this movement into the transportation clamp 32 to be struck can (see Fig. 8), it is possible, the cut wire W1 of dern cut procedure fast to the impact procedure too verschieben.

In accordance with the remark example the first clamping unit 16 covers a pair of first clamping sections 33, 34, which are in such a manner arranged in each case that a movement upward and downward in the throughholes 9a, 9b effected (see Fig. 4), which are in such a manner trained the fact that they penetrate the guidance block 9 upward and downward, while the back path 11 is contained in it, and in a suitable distance along the back path 11 is arranged. In similar way the second clamping unit 17 covers a pair of second clamping sections, which are in such a manner arranged in each case that a movement upward and downward in the throughholes 9a, 9b effected (see Fig. 4), which are in such a manner trained the fact that they penetrate the guidance block 9 upward and downward, while in it a Vorpfad 10 is contained, and in a suitable distance along the Vorpfades 10 is arranged. The Schliessvorrichtung 12 is in such a manner appropriate that opening takes place with the fall first and the second clamping unit 16, 17. The transportation clamp 32 is in such a manner movably arranged that at respective central sections 9c, 9d (Fig. 6) of all two throughholes 9a, 9a and 9b, 9b of the Vorund of the back path 10, 11 stopping erfolgt.

Which concerns first and the second clamping unit 16, 17, then the first clamping unit 16 equipped with auxiliary engines 35 is at least, in order to wedge the wire and release it, like this in the Fig. 9 and 10 is represented. The first clamping unit 16 is developed comprehensive as auxiliary tightener, a pinion 37, which is turned by the servo actuators, a swiveling gear wheel 39 in interference with the pinion 37 for the rotation of the swiveling gear wheel 39, a slidegate valve 39, to which connected with the gear wheel 36 by a connection 38 and in such a manner adapted it is that sliding takes place with consequences of the swiveling gear wheel 36, and furthermore the pair of first clamping sections 33, 34, which to the slidegate valve 39 is fastened and which wedges wire W and releases it, whereby this takes place via the slip motion of the slidegate valve 39. The first clamping units 33, 34 are composed of clamping claws 33a, 33b and/or 34a, 34b, so that the units 33, 34 are in such a manner developed that them both wedging and releasing the wire W due to the respective interference and release of the interference between the clamping claws 33a, 33b and the clamping claws 34a, 34b ausführen.

The first clamping unit 16 is attached, while the clamping claws 33a, 33b of the first clamping section 33 into a throughhole 9a of the guidance block 9 are on the one hand inserted and furthermore the clamping claws 34a, 34b of the first clamping section 34 inserted into the other throughhole 9a of the guidance hook 9 on the other hand werden.

Since the first clamping unit 16 of the remark example is propelled by the auxiliary engines 35, it can regarding wedging and releasing the wire W a high reliability auf13 CH 693,577 A5 14 point. In addition it is possible due to the fact that the unit is 16 to the torque price increase with wedging the wire W for the attitude of the Klemmkraft able, to react to changes of the diameter of the wire W problem-free. Furthermore a point length of the cut Drahfes W1 can be steered along the supply direction by the clamping procedure of the first clamping unit 16 exactly. It is for example possible, the point length of the cut wire W1 of the clamping section of the first clamping unit 16 with an error from less than reaching a millimeter to, whereby the cut wire W1 to the next procedure are transported evenly kann.

Although the second clamping unit 17 can be developed as auxiliary tightener similarly the first clamping unit 16, the same unit 17 of the remark example is developed .aus an air pressure tightener, since it is not necessary that it exhibits such a high accuracy. In similar way the second clamping unit 17 is equipped with a pair of second clamping sections, which consist of similar clamping claws as those the first clamping unit 16. The second clamping unit 17 will be attached likewise, inserted during two clamping claws of the second clamping section into a throughhole 9a of the guidance block 9 on the one hand and furthermore two clamping claws of the second clamping section inserted into the throughhole 9a of the guidance block 9 on the other hand werden.

The Schliessvorrichtung 12 is in such a manner adapted that opening takes place via the lockcylinder 27, if the confirmation signal is entered, which indicates the conclusion of measuring the wire to W of the measuring roles of 25. Opening the Schliessvorrichtung 12 makes Verund possible the back path 10, 11 of the guidance block 9 and the throughholes 9a, 9b a respective opening, whereby lowering makes 16, 17 first and the second clamping unit possible wird.

During simultaneous stopping at respective positions according to the intermediate positions 9c, 9d are submitted the transportation clamps 32, of 32 striking the cut wire W1 by first and the second clamping unit 16, 17, which comes down at the same time (see Fig. 8).

In accordance with the remark example the movement distance first and the second clamping unit 16 knows to strike 17, which are necessary, in order the cut wire W1 into the transportation clamps 32, 32 in such a manner to be specified that this is short, over thereby the operating speed too erhöhen.

due to the fact that first and the second clamping unit 16, 17 and the transportation clamps 32, 32 three-dimensional close at the guidance block 9 are arranged, Furthermore the transportation clamps stop 32, 32, since first and the second clamping unit 16, 17 are composed of the pair of first and second Klommabschnitten in each case, in each case at the intermediate positions 9c, 9d of the throughholes 9a, 9a and 9b, 9b, and the 32 wire sections struck into the respective transportation clamps 32, are to respective central sections of the wire sections, which are wedged by the appropriate pairs by clamping sections, identically, whereby it is possible, stability and reliability regarding striking the wire into the transportation clamps 32, 32 too gewährleisten.

In such a manner cut wire W1 becomes by moving the transportation clamps 32, 32 after striking the wire W1 into the clamps 32, 32 the next procedure (for example the peeling procedure) lo transportiert.

With as developed Drahtmessund Schneidevorrichtung 1 above described the figuration and deformation of the guidance passage 5b by two guiding pieces (5a, 5a) is implemented, which is together to close and open, and it. possible to reduce the opening/closing stroke and the off now gs closing load at the movable Fehrungsabschnitt which is necessary, in order to form and deform the guidance passage 5b. As easily is to be reconstructed, the above load decrease is derived from the easy structure of the movable guidance section 5, consists which of two guiding pieces 5a, 5a. Therefore it is possible, the compact and small dimensions exhibiting shift device 8 too schaffen.

Again both guiding pieces become 5a, 5a by the supply inertia, which arises by supplying the wire W, additionally the driving power of the verse blow device 8 in the direction to open the movable guidance section the opened. Positions shifted. It is possible to increase the Offnungsgeschwindigkeit of the guidance passage 5b of the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitts 6 and to maintain the supply of the wire when opening the guidance passage 5b, whereby the measuring work for the wire are fast accomplished kann.

Furthermore it is due to the fact that two guiding pieces 5a, SA are in such a manner adapted that they open in a parallel way to the supply direction of the wire W, possible, to open the guiding pieces SA, 5a without increase of the supply load of the wire W and furthermore the wire W in the supply direction despite the guiding pieces 5a to lead SA, which in the opened position is, whereby the measuring accuracy for the Drahf W is improved kann.

In accordance with the wire measuring procedure with this remark example the wire W is introduced into the U-curvature-Führungsabschnitt 6, in order to bend it into the essentially u-shaped profile, and afterwards opening the section 6 is implemented for measuring the length of the wire W as well as the supply inertia of the wire W, so that the supply of the wire W up to the conclusion of a measurement continued wird.

So isf it due to the fact that there is no procedure, which stops the supply of the wire W in the process of measuring the length with the available measuring procedure, possible, to increase the speed of measuring the wire W whereby the productivity is finally improved kann.

Finally specialists in this area it will be clear that the preceding description CH 693,577 A5 16 refers to a preferential remark example of the open ingots Drahtmessund Schneidevordchtung and the wire measuring procedure, and that different changes and modifications at the available invention can be made to deviate without from the kind of nature and the range of the invention.
