A workpiece conveyor system comprising: a conveyance apparatus which conveys workpieces in one direction, a stopper which is mounted on the conveyance apparatus so as to stop workpieces which are conveyed by the conveyance apparatus at a predetermined position, and a takeout apparatus which takes out workpieces which have been stopped by the stopper from the conveyance apparatus. An outer edge of the stopper in an opposite direction to a conveyance direction of workpieces extends in a curved shape in a transverse direction of the conveyance apparatus.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a strap-winding and strap-coil-deforming system (10) configured to wind a strap segment (S) into a coil and then deform the strap coil to render it more compact and to reduce the likelihood that it will uncoil during handling, storage, or transport. The deformed strap coil is introduced into a discharge chute (DC) to discharge it away from the strap-winding and strap-coil-deforming system (10) for further handling, storage, or transport.

A method for mitigating the effects of coil collapse on hot strip mill coils. A hot strip coil is removed from the mandrel/downcoiler and pre-sagged to create an initial sag by allowing gravity cause the coil to sag in a first specific direction for a first period of time. Then, without coil eye support to limit sagging, the direction of the sag caused by the force of gravity is modified to a direction perpendicular to the first specific direction and gravity is allowed to sag the coil for a second period of time. The first period of time and the second period of time are chosen such that the initial sag created during the first period of time is substantially mitigated by the perpendicular sag during the second period of time. The hot strip coil being cooled enough by the end of the second period of time such that the rate of sagging of the hot strip coil has become negligible.
