Abstract: A robotized unit for controlling a metal product in motion driven in an automated manner, in accordance with a corresponding computerized method, in order to manipulate or cut a portion of the metal product includes an apparatus and method to produce metal reels.

Abstract: A welding machine, preferably of the flash welding type, designed to facilitate maintenance of the clamping means, e.g. clamps, of the two longitudinal metal products to be welded. Advantageously, a first structure provided with first clamping means and a second structure provided with second clamping means are supported in a first part of the carriage delimited by a first beam and a second beam of the carriage that are parallel to the feeding direction X, while the at least one transformer is fixed to the carriage and supported in a second part of the carriage arranged laterally outside the first part. Moreover, the two upsetting cylinders are arranged along a plane Y inclined by an acute angle different from zero relative to a horizontal plane and passing through a passage zone of the longitudinal metal products along a feeding direction X.

Abstract: A welding machine, preferably of the flash butt welding type, designed to facilitate maintenance of the clamping means, e.g. clamps, of the two longitudinal metal products to be welded. Advantageously, a first structure, provided with first clamping means, and a second structure, provided with second clamping means, are supported in a first part of the carriage delimited by a first beam and a second beam of the carriage parallel to the feeding direction, while at least one transformer is fixed to the carriage and supported in a second part of the carriage, arranged laterally outside the first part.

Abstract: Apparatus for feeding and cutting a metal product conformed into loops including at least a first, a second and a third conveyor which are aligned, partly overlapping in succession and provided with a respective first, second and third feed plane and a control unit configured at least to control the actuation of said first, second and third feed plane with the purpose of guaranteeing a desired feed speed of said metal product. The corresponding method for feeding and cutting a metal product is also disclosed.
