Abstract: An arrangement for marking articles or workpieces, particularly hot workpieces, such as coils of sheet metal with series of symbols which are individually applied in templates. The latter are in the form of symbols applied in a cylindrical portion and in a flange-like portion of a movable angle ring which is adjustable vertically and sideways. A spray nozzle is associated with each of the portions. The angle ring is connected to a trunnion fixed in an arm which is adjustable vertically and sideways by piston-cylinder units. One piston-cylinder unit is centered in a frame which is movable on a track by driven wheels, and the piston of this unit mounts a lifting table. Another piston-cylinder unit is connected to the aforementioned arm. One vertical spray nozzle is located above the flange-like portion of the angle ring on the outer end of the arm.

Abstract: A device for preparing metal sheets for transport wherein the sheets are delivered on a conveyor belt from a shearing region to a stacking region in which the sheets are engaged from above at the discharge end of the conveyor belt and transported longitudinally and deposited on selected ones of tables to build up stacks of sheets. The stacks of sheets are moved laterally by lateral movement of the tables or by laterally extending chains to a lifting station wherein the stacks of sheets are engaged from above by cranes and conveyed thereby to a binding station for binding of the stacks of sheets.

Abstract: An arrangement for stacking sheet metal packets to form packet stacks which comprises a transfer device arranged above stacking tables adapted to be lifted and lowered and equipped with sheet metal packet pliers likewise adapted to be lifted and lowered. The arrangement furthermore comprises a roller bed arranged in front of or between the stacking tables and the transfer device. The transfer device or the roller bed are movable in the longitudinal direction thereof.
