ABSTRACT:
Plural station equipment is provided for the making of articles of manufacture from sheet material such as sheet metal. The first work station performs a first operational step on the sheet material to form precise blanks, and the second station performs the finishing step on the blanks to produce the article of manufacture. The first station is located above the second station, and it is laterally offset from the second station. An inclined chute is provided between the output of the first station for allowing the precise blanks to slide by gravity to the input of the second station. Thus, the inclined chute automatically transfers the precise blanks from the first station to the second station without any manual intervention or the need of complex electromechanical transfer equipment. In a specific embodiment, the sheet material is sheet metal, and articles of manufacture are roof flashings.
