Abstract (en)

The invention is a no-twist approach ("NTA") apparatus and method for manufacturing steel reinforcing bar. The utilization of the method allows steel reinforcing bar to be manufactured with greater speed and precision than by conventional methods. The NTA method employs numerous stands (13-18), with the first two stands (13,14) aligned with the shafts of the rolls comprising the rolls offset 45 DEG from a predetermined plane and 90 DEG from each other. The third and fourth stands (15,16) are aligned with the shafts of their rollers perpendicular or parallel to the predetermined plane and they split the single bar into a plurality of bars. The remaining stands (17,18,17',18') are arranged into at least two lines of stands, either with the first of each stand in the lines aligned with the sides of their rolls offset 45 DEG in a first direction from the predetermined plane and with the second of each stand in the two lines aligned with the sides of their rolls offset 45 DEG in a second direction opposite to said first direction to the predetermined plane, or with the first and second of each stand in the parallel lines aligned with the sides of their rolls offset either by 90 DEG and 0 DEG or 0 DEG and 90 DEG .
