Manipulator with Expander Grip for Coils: Lifting and 90° Tilting

News

Handling reels is one of the most critical operations in many industrial sectors. Their weight, bulk and the need for precise positioning make these tasks potentially complex from both an operational and a safety perspective.

To meet these requirements, the manipulator with an expander grip offers an ergonomic and reliable solution for lifting, rotating and positioning coils, enabling operators to work in complete safety and with maximum control.

How the manipulator with an expander grip works

The system uses an expansion mandrel which is inserted into the central hole of the reel and secures it firmly from the inside.

Once the load has been attached, the manipulator allows you to:

  • Lift the reel without exerting physical effort;
  • Tilt the load up to 90°;
  • Position the reel with the utmost precision;
  • Carry out the controlled release directly on the machine shaft;

The benefits of ergonomic coil handling

  • Greater safety at work: The internal expansion clamp ensures that the coil is securely held in place during handling, reducing the risk of unwanted movement and improving operator safety.
  • Reduction in physical exertion: The manipulator makes it extremely easy to handle heavy reels, eliminating the need for manual handling and reducing operator fatigue.
  • Precise positioning: The 90° tilt and balanced movement allow the coil to be aligned accurately during loading and unloading operations.
  • Increased productivity: Faster, safer and more repeatable operations help to reduce machine downtime and improve the overall efficiency of the production line.

Safe release of the reel onto the machine shaft

One of the most important aspects of handling reels is the final positioning stage.

The manipulator with an expander grip is designed to ensure a gradual and controlled release directly onto the machine shaft, facilitating the insertion of the reel and reducing the risk of impact, damage or misalignment.

This enables you to work quickly and safely, even in applications that require high standards of precision.

Areas of application

The reel handler with an expandable mandrel is used in a wide range of industrial applications:

  • Paper and board industry
  • Packaging e converting
  • Production of plastic films
  • Textile sector
  • Metallurgical industry
  • Winding and unwinding machines
  • Cutting and rewinding lines
  • Industrial printing presses

Why choose a reel handling manipulator?

Investing in an ergonomic handling system means improving safety, quality of work and productivity all at the same time.

A manipulator fitted with an expander grip for reels enables the load to be handled at every stage of the process, from lifting and tilting to release onto the shaft, ensuring precision, reliability and operational comfort.

If your company needs a solution for the safe handling of reels, the manipulator with an expansion mandrel offers an effective way to optimise operators’ work and boost production efficiency.
