SINGLE SHEAR FOR CUTTING AND CONVEYING MULTIPLE ROLLED SECTIONS

A shear for cutting and simultaneously conveying one or more pairs of rolling wires or bars includes a mobile diverter with at least two channels in each of which a wire or bar slides and at least two pairs of counter-rotating knives, each pair of which acts upon the wire or bar to produce cut segments of wires or bars. The cut segments of wires or bars are then conveyed by a conveying device including at least one pair of mobile elements that may be configured to move independent of each other and to be synchronized with each other and with the mobile diverter for facilitating insertion of each of the cut sections of wires or bars into an output channel of at least two pairs of output channels, each pair of output channels corresponding to one of the mobile diverters.
