Disclosed are a wire rod for a steel fiber having a strength of 1,500 MPa or more without performing LP heat treatment during a wire drawing process, a steel fiber and, a method for manufacturing the same. The wire rod for a high-strength steel fiber according to the present disclosure includes, in percent by weight (wt %), 0.01 to 0.03% of C, 0.05 to 0.15% of Si, 1.0 to 2.0% of Mn, 0.05 to 0.15% of P, 0.005% or less (excluding 0) of Al, 0.01% or less (excluding 0) of N, 0.03% or less (excluding 0) of S, 0.02 to 0.08% of Sn, and the remainder of Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein a microstructure is single-phase ferrite.

A plant for the production and packaging of bars and steel profiles includes a rolling station of rods and profiles of indefinite length, a cooling station, a scrap separation station, a diverter device, cutting shears, intended to cut said bars and profiles in bar portions having a fixed length, and a speed changing device, able to move the bar portions at a speed rate such that they can be placed within respective grooves or housing provided on the outer surface of at least one cylinder or rotating drum. Each cylinder or rotating drum is associated with a speed changing device, so that the housing receives bar portions at different speeds, depending on the fact that the housing belong to one first or to at least second rotating cylinder, in order to avoid overlap of the bar portions when the same are discharged onto the cooling plate.

A pinch roll delivers a respective rolled product. A control device opens the pinch roll at a respective trigger time and at a respective transport speed of the respective rolled product. The control device determines the respective trigger time and/or the respective transport speed using a model that depends on a coefficient of friction. After opening the pinch roll, a measuring device detects iteratively a position or a derivation in time of the position of the respective rolled product. The detected positions or the detected derivations in time of the position are provided to the control device. The control device in dependency on the positions or the derivations in time of the position updates the coefficient of friction and uses the updated coefficient of friction for determining the respective trigger time and/or the respective transport speed for the next rolled product delivered by the pinch roll.

A roller guide (1) for guiding stock in a longitudinal feeding direction (A) toward a pair of rolls for shaping the stock. The roller guide comprises a frame arrangement (2), a pair of guide rollers (3, 4) configured to, in a closed position, engage opposite surface portions of the stock,and positioning means for adjusting a lateral distance between the guide rollers. The roller guide further comprises detection means (13) configured to detect a longitudinal position of a piece of stock (20) with respect to the guide rollers. The positioning means is configured to adjust the lateral distance between the guide rollers in response to said detection.
