Roll Manipulator: safe lifting

News

Roll handling is one of the most delicate operations in many industrial sectors. Whether dealing with paper, plastic film, textiles, composite materials, or other wound products, lifting and positioning coils require solutions that ensure safety, ergonomics, and precision.

ATIS industrial manipulators are designed to assist operators throughout every stage of the handling process, from gripping to release, reducing physical effort and improving productivity.

Roll Manipulator with a Secure Gripping System

One of the most important aspects of coil handling is load stability throughout all operations.

Thanks to a dedicated gripping system, the manipulator allows the coil to be handled safely and in a controlled manner, preventing unwanted movements and ensuring maximum control during transport and positioning.

The main advantages include:

  • Secure coil gripping
  • Greater load stability
  • Reduced risk of material damage
  • Improved operator comfort
  • Increased workplace safety

90° Front Tilt for Precise Positioning

Many applications require the coil to be moved from a vertical position to a horizontal one, or vice versa.

For this reason, the manipulator is equipped with a 90° front tilt system that allows the operator to orient the load with extreme precision and without effort.

The controlled tilting function facilitates:

  • Loading machinery and production lines
  • Positioning the coil in hard-to-reach areas
  • Assembly and packaging operations
  • Reduced handling times

Thanks to continuous motion control, the operator maintains full control of the load throughout the tilting process.

Quick Mandrel Change: Maximum Operational Flexibility

Modern production lines require increasing levels of versatility.

For this reason, the manipulator integrates a quick-change spindle system that allows the gripping tool to be replaced quickly according to the dimensions or characteristics of the coils being handled.

The advantages of the quick-change system include:

  • Reduced setup times
  • Greater production flexibility
  • Rapid adaptation to different types of coils
  • Reduced machine downtime
  • Increased operational efficiency

A single solution can therefore handle different applications, optimizing investment and simplifying operators’ work.

Ergonomics and Safety in Industrial Handling

Using an industrial coil manipulator significantly reduces the physical effort required from operators.

Lifting, rotating, tilting, and positioning operations are carried out in a controlled manner, helping to improve workstation ergonomics and reduce the risks associated with manual load handling.

The benefits translate into:

  • Greater operational safety
  • Reduced operator fatigue
  • Improved productivity
  • Precise and controlled handling
  • Enhanced production process quality
