ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A take-out arbor (35) for receiving strip material (S) in a strip accumulator (20, 26) of a strip processing line includes a main mandrel (36) and a secondary mandrel (37) carried by the main mandrel (36). A plurality of rollers (67) are carried by the mandrels (36, 37), one end of each roller (67) being supported by the main mandrel (36) and the other end of each roller (67) being supported by the secondary mandrel (37). The main mandrel (36) is pivotally mounted to a frame (27 or 87) of the accumulator (20 or 26), and when the mandrels (36, 37) are pivoted, the secondary mandrel (37) rotates with respect to the main mandrel (36) such that the other end of each roller (67) pivots with respect to the one end of each roller (67) to align the rollers (67) with the strip material (S). The take-out arbor (35) can be utilized with both a vertically oriented accumulator (20) and a horizontally oriented accumulator (26). When operating in a horizontally oriented accumulator (26), the strip material (S) leaves the accumulator (26) with its edge parallel to the floor, traveling in the same direction that it was received by the accumulator (26). The strip material (S) may then be provided to a turnaround assembly (91) which redirects the strip material (S) to the processing line in a different direction back over the top of the accumulator (26).
