Abstract: A procedure for automatically feeding sections from a cooling plate to a straightening machine is disclosed. A number of sections are removed one at a time from the cooling plate and placed side by side on a layer-forming support, in order to form a layer. The layer of sections is then moved into alignment with the straightening machine and fed into the straightening machine while being held parallel to each other at a pre-determined distance apart. A device is also disclosed which includes a unit for removing the sections from the cooling plate and forming a layer, a unit for moving the sections into alignment with the straightening machine, a unit for feeding the sections into the straightening machine while holding the sections parallel and equidistant from each other, and a conveying unit for bringing the sections from the moving unit to the feeding unit.
