Abstract

The present invention relates to a device ( 1 ) for removing a sample ( 24 ) from a coil ( 2 ), comprising at least one bottom roll unit ( 30, 32 ) for supporting the coil ( 2 ) during removal of the samples, at least one contact roll unit ( 40, 42 ) pressable against an outer surface of the coil ( 2 ), and at least one strip binding device for binding the coil ( 2 ) supported on the at least one bottom roll unit ( 30, 32 ). The present invention further relates to a device for removing a sample ( 24 ) from a coil ( 2 ), comprising a deflection device ( 70 ) for deflecting a material beginning ( 20 ) of the coil ( 2 ) from a beneath located layer ( 22 ), wherein the deflection device is so formed that the strip beginning only elastically deflected from the beneath layer ( 22 ). The invention also relates to corresponding methods.

Claims (15)

1. A device ( 1 ) for removing a sample ( 24 ) from a coil ( 2 ), comprising first and second bottom roll units ( 30 , 32 ) for supporting the coil ( 2 ) during removal of the sample; first and second contact units ( 40 , 42 ) associated, respectively, with the first and second bottom units ( 30 , 32 ) and pressable against an outer surface of the coil ( 2 ); and a binding device for binding the coil ( 2 ) supported on the first and second bottom units, wherein the first and second bottom roll units ( 30 , 32 ) are circumferentially offset relative to each other by 90° with respect to center of the coil, and the first and second contact units ( 40 , 42 ) are circumferentially offset, with respect to the center of the coil, respectively, relative to the first and second bottom units ( 30 , 32 ) also by 90°.

2. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second bottom roll units ( 30 , 32 ) and the first and second contact units ( 40 , 42 ) each is provided with a guide device for guiding a strip binding material around the coil.

3. A device according to claim 1 , wherein rolls ( 34 ) of the bottom roll units ( 30 , 32 ) and/or rolls ( 44 ) of the contact roll units ( 40 , 42 ) have, respectively, at least two roll units so that a strip binding material ( 64 ) is displaceable therethrough and/or a strip binding channel is formed therebetween.

4. A device according to claim 1 , first and second bottom roll units is stationary, and another of the wherein one of the first and second bottom roll units is displaceable.

5. A device according to claim 1 , wherein a sample removing device ( 5 ) for removing a sample ( 24 ) from a strip beginning ( 20 ) of the coil ( 2 ) is provided.

6. A device according to claim 1 , comprising a deflection device ( 70 ) for deflecting a material beginning ( 20 ) of the coil ( 2 ) from a beneath located layer ( 22 ), wherein the deflection device is so formed that the strip beginning of the coil ( 2 ) only elastically deflected from the beneath located layer ( 22 ).

7. A device according to claim 6 , wherein the deflection device ( 70 ) has a deflection element ( 72 ) that has such a geometry, alignment, and/or setting that a strip beginning ( 20 ) of the coil ( 2 ) is so deflected with a force (f) from the beneath located layer ( 22 ) that simply an elastic deformation of the strip beginning ( 20 ) takes place.

8. A device according to claim 7 , wherein the deflection element ( 72 ) is formed as a wedge with an acute angle.

9. A device according to claim 6 , wherein the deflection device ( 70 ) is advanced to an outer surface of the coil ( 2 ) substantially tangentially and a deflection element ( 72 ) is advanced to the outer surface of the coil ( 2 ).

10. A device according to claim 6 , wherein a separation device ( 74 ) for separating a sample ( 24 ) from the coil ( 2 ) is provided, wherein the separation device acts on the strip beginning transverse to the beneath located layer of the coil.

11. A method of removing a sample of a coil ( 2 ), comprising the steps of:

providing a device ( 1 ) for removing a sample ( 24 ) from a coil ( 2 ), and comprising first and second bottom roll units ( 30 , 32 ) for supporting the coil ( 2 ) during removal of the sample; first and second contact units ( 40 , 42 ) associated, respectively, with the first and second bottom units ( 30 , 32 ) and pressable against an outer surface of the coil ( 2 ); and a binding device for binding the coil ( 2 ) supported on the first and second bottom units, wherein the first and second bottom roll units ( 30 , 32 ) are circumferentially offset relative to each other by 90° with respect to center of the coil, and the first and second contact units ( 40 , 42 ) are circumferentially offset, with respect to the center of the coil respectively, relative to the first and second bottom units ( 30 , 32 ) also by 90°;

positioning of the coil ( 2 ) on the first and second bottom roll units ( 30 , 32 );

pressing the first and second contact units ( 40 , 42 ) which are associated with the first and second bottom roll units against an outer surface of the coil ( 2 ).

12. A method according to claim 11 , wherein binding the coil ( 2 ) supported on the first and second bottom roll units ( 30 , 32 ) with a binding device that advances a strip binding material through guide devices provided on each of the first and second bottom roll units and first and second contact units for binding the coil.
