Coil Handling Equipment
A coil stock handling system stores, loads, positions, uncoils, straightens and feeds material of various sizes and weights into the tooling of a press production line. Depending on the product parameters and requirements of the production line, this system can include individual or integrated coil cradles, coil lifts, coil holding arms, upenders, uncoiling machines, servo feeds/electric feeds, air feeds, coil reels/stock reels, straighteners, feeding lines, cut-to-length operations, washers and lubricators, and other related equipment and tools.
The Evolving Press Room
Hydraulic press technology and other advances in stamping presses, deep drawing operations, coil handling equipment, automation, press controls and monitoring are helping press rooms to deliver shorter runs of high-mix parts faster, more efficiently, and more profitably.

No one is happy when a machine goes down because of tooling issues – wasted time that is even more frustrating when it’s avoidable. Arrow Storage Products found a way to significantly reduce their machine downtime and cut their average tooling downtime per week due to tooling by 70 percent.
This custom-built aluminum cut-to-length line from Burghardt+Schmidt guarantees leveling quality for evenness, narrow tolerances, high surface quality and fewer rejects so that Martinrea Honsel Germany can optimize their light metal plate and strip production.
Take a closer look at how extremely thin strips of anodized aluminum are slit and processed for electronics applications.
Parts leveling can’t free a shop from the stress caused by a missed shipping date, but it CAN relieve those production frustrations caused by metal components loaded with internal stresses that are released during welding, laser cutting, punching or bending.
Handling material up to 84 in. wide, Automatic Feed’s coil-fed lubricant brush washers continuously clean debris while an automatic grease system lubricates the roll bearings. Result: great surface quality and reduced downtime for maintenance.
Simulation and automated functions expedite commissioning new press feeding lines from COE Press Equipment. User-friendly interface and 10-in touchscreen simplify entry of machine setup information as well as troubleshooting.
b+s group combines cut-to-length and slitting lines at a speed of up to 100 m/min. The time-saving process also incorporates inspection measures that make this sheet metal processing suitable for sensitive surfaces like stainless steel and aluminum strips.
