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.
