Abstract
Apparatus for straightening and severing coiled wire or rod stock has several sets of guides each of which receives stock from a different reel and each of which can be moved into and from register with rollers serving to advance the selected stock into one of several straightening devices. A synchronizing unit ensures that the placing of a selected straightening device into a portion of the path along which the stock advances toward and into the range of a severing device downstream of the straightening station invariably entails a movement of the corresponding set of guides into a preceding portion of such path. Each source can contain stock having a different diameter and the severing device moves with the advancing stock in the course of each severing operation.
