Abstract
A system for cutting to length at least two strands of long rolled products (3, 5) preferably coming from a hot rolling mill. The system includes shears comprising at least two rotatable drums (4,6), each drum having a cutter (8,8′,10,10′) arranged to cut simultaneously at least two strands of long rolled products into finished segments. The system further includes at least two movable guides (12,14), each including at least two channels, each guide arranged to receive and guide at least one strand (3,5) of long product. The guides are movable between a position wherein, in operation, the strands of long product are located in positions either outside of the trajectory of the cutters in a position wherein the strands cannot be cut or wherein the strands are located on the trajectories of the cutters and can be cut by the cutters.
