Description
Ductformer offers a totally new concept in Coil Cradle Designs to make coil changeovers faster, simpler, and most importantly safer. This is an under fed drop in Coil Cradle System. On the whole it can be produced in a wide range of setups and applications for a quick-change multiple Coil Payoff System.
As can be seen the simple one-piece mandrel design that cradles the coil between the two Powered Roller Stations. In fact, the mandrels rotate on special heavy duty, hydraulic driven, neoprene rolls for a quiet and smooth feed payoff. Overall, the coil is completely supported across its width to minimize damaging the inner core of the coil.
Each Uncoiler Station is independently driven and is simple as turning a switch to select or change from one coil to another. Moreover, each station can be jogged independently or automatically payoff with the Loop Control Sensors. Additionally, the Pneumatic Hold Down Arm is provided to assist in feeding and rewinding the coil strip into the Coil Feed System.
All in all, a coil changeover can truly be a one person operation. The one-piece tubular Mandrel eliminates the handling of heavy, awkward, and dangerous shafts and End Flanges. This sometimes requires the Flanges and Bearings to be beaten onto the Shaft or into the coil. However, with the one-piece tubular Mandrel there is nothing to catch, damage or wrap around the inside core of the coil. With this design, partial coils can be banded and taken off the Mandrel as simply as they are loaded.
Coil Load Sequence
The Flush Side Design allows the lift truck easy access with no obstruction and maximum stability to remove the coil Mandrel.
Outer flange is easily removed and weighs less than 60 pounds. The fork truck will then retrieve the next coil.
The Mandrel is simply fed through the coil and the outer flange is slipped back onto the mandrel.
The coil and Mandrel are steady and stable allowing a one man operation to safely position the Mandrel into the Coil Stands.
