Reel solution
March 1st 2008 Working with a manufacturer of heat
exchangers for the automotive
industry, Packline has designed a
solution for lifting and forward
tipping reels of binding wire
weighing up to 300kg.
The reels needed to be lifted from
pallets where the reel's core was in
the horizontal, then transported to
storage. They then had to be
removed from storage and rotated
90° so the core was horizontal
ready for loading to the production
machine's mandrel.
A forward tipping clamp
attachment was developed to fit the
company's heavy duty lifters. This
has a streamlined profile to allow
the reels access to the tight storage
area. The torque controlled
clamping action ensures the correct
gripping power is applied. More articles from Packline Limited: |
