Line Composition
The line is composed of several key units working in sequence to handle, strap, and prepare slit coils for further processing or shipping:
Slit Coil Tilter
This movable unit runs on rails and features a variable output pick-up device. Its primary function is to retrieve a single slit coil from a turnstile and rotate it 90 degrees. Once tilted, the coil is then conveyed to the downstream roller conveyor. The tilting action is powered by a hydraulic cylinder, and the pick-up device's axial position is also hydraulically adjustable. A hydraulic power pack is included and mounted onboard.
- Capacity: 5 Tonne Max.
- Function: Pick up from turnstile, overturn 90°, forward to conveyor.
- Movement: Movable on rails.
- Actuation: Hydraulic cylinder for tilting and pick-up device adjustment.
Buffer Roller Conveyor
Positioned after the tilter, this conveyor acts as a buffer. Its rollers are driven by an electric geared motor, ensuring smooth transfer of coils.
- Capacity: 5 Tonne Max.
- Length: Approximately 2 meters.
- Drive: Electric geared motor.
Strapping Unit
Dedicated to radial strapping of the slit coils, this unit features a fixed table equipped with tapered rolls. This design allows for strapping operations to be performed at any required position around the coil.
- Capacity: 5 Tonne Max.
- Length: Approximately 2.3 meters.
- Function: Radial strapping of coils.
- Table: Fixed with tapered rolls for flexible strapping positions.
Weighing Station
Serving a dual purpose, this station acts as both a weighing point and a buffer conveyor. It includes hydraulic cylinders for accurate slit coil centering before weighing. The frame is specifically designed to accommodate weighing cells.
- Capacity: 5 Tonne Max.
- Length: Approximately 2 meters.
- Function: Coil weighing and buffering.
- Centering: Hydraulic cylinders.
- Design: Frame prepared for weighing cell installation.
Centering Station
This station is equipped with a radial and axial centering device, utilizing hydraulic cylinders to ensure the slit coil is precisely positioned for subsequent processes.
- Capacity: 5 Tonne Max.
- Length: 2.6 meters.
- Function: Radial and axial coil centering.
- Device: Hydraulic centering device.
Pick-Up Magnets
Integrated into the stacking bridge, these magnets are used for handling coils. Their vertical movement (up/down) is controlled by a hydraulic cylinder.
- Capacity: 5 Tonne Max.
- Location: Installed on the stacking bridge.
- Movement: Hydraulic cylinder for up/down motion.
This comprehensive 6-station layout provides a robust solution for automated slit coil packaging, enhancing efficiency and productivity.
