Abstract (en)
For feeding machines for rebars, a group of metal bars are collected in a single layer, for example on an electromagnet, counted by a scanner, and the group is divided into a first and second subgroup. This is accomplished by moving a separation edge (14) to an adjacent position near a space between the two subgroups and separating the first subgroup (2a) from a second subgroup (2b) by providing only the first subgroup of bars (2a) on the first side of the separation edge (14) and the second subgroup (2b) only on the second side of the separation edge (14). For example, the first subgroup (2a) falls onto a separation arm (13) that is located only on the first side of the separation edge (14) and the second subgroup (2b) passes the second side of the separation edge (14) for discharge back into the store (3).
