Abstract: The apparatus for detecting at least one physical quantity of a ferromagnetic product (5) comprises an iron core (2, 2?, 2?, 2??) having an annular shape open at a respective discontinuity or air gap, a detection zone (3, 3?, 3?, 3??) being defined by the aforementioned air gap, and at least one electrical winding (4, 40), wound around at least a portion of said core (2, 2?, 2?, 2??).

Abstract: The method for automatically adjusting the straightening of metal elements of elongated shape, in particular iron rods, provides to prearrange a drawing and/or straightening assembly (3) for straightening and feeding at least one metal element (2) of elongated shape along a feeding direction (A) on a work plane (5), at least theoretical, and a control assembly, predisposed to send to said drawing and/or straightening assembly (3) adjustment commands for the straightening parameters.

Abstract: The method for the automatic feeding of metal section bars provides for seizing a group of metal section bars (2) from a store (3) by means of gripping tools (11) and for transferring the said group of metal section bars (2) in a lifted position. The metal section bars (2) are arranged on a transfer device (20) suited to transfer the metal section bars (2) on receiving means (30). In a suitable phase relationship, the counting of the metal section bars (2) transferred on the said receiving means (30) is carried out. Such operating cycle is repeated until a prefixed number of metal section bars (2) is reached. The whole of the metal section bars (2) is disentangled through the progressive sliding of the receiving means (30) along the longitudinal axis of the metal section bars (2).

Abstract: A method for automatically feeding the metal profiles in bar form entails gripping a set of the metal profiles from a magazine for collecting said profiles and transferring the set of metal profiles into a raised position and arranging the raised metal profiles on a movable transfer device provided with separators for separating the metal profiles, at which a preset number of metal profiles to be fed, at each work cycle to the machine arranged downstream, is conveyed transversely and counted; the metal profiles are transferred, in counted number, onto auxiliary supports arranged to the side of the transfer device and actuated gradually along the longitudinal axis of the metal profiles.

Abstract: A method for feeding automatically metal profiles in bar form entails gripping a group of the metal profiles from a magazine for collecting the profiles and transferring the group of metal profiles or their end to a raised position. The raised metal profiles are arranged on a movable transfer device provided with means for separating the metal profiles, at which the initial portion of a preset number of metal profiles to be fed to the machine at each work cycle is conveyed transversely and counted. The metal profiles are transferred, in the counted number, at receiving elements of the machine, while the excess metal profiles are unloaded inside the collection magazine.

Abstract: The machine for automatically bending profiled elements and the like comprises a line for feeding the profiled elements to be bent. Bending means are suitable to end at least a rear end of the profiled elements in a bending station which is arranged in an upper or lower position with respect to the feed line of the profiled elements. Transfer means are suitable to move the profiled elements from the feed line to the lower or upper bending station. Drawing means act at the bending station to move the profiled elements longitudinally.

Abstract: A storage device for metal bar cropping lines, comprising: elements for forming a plurality of compartments parallel to each other and arranged side-by-side for storing cropped metal bars, said compartments being arranged longitudinally with respect to a cropping line; elements for conveying said cropped metal bars, fed by said cropping line, selectively to said storage compartments; and flexible elements for shifting said storage compartments transversely to said cropping line between a position for receiving said cropped metal bars and a position for unloading said cropped metal bars.
