Roll-forming lines

Coil Uncoiler

Powered or brake-controlled unit that unwinds sheet-metal coil into the roll-forming line. Equipment is configured as part of line engineering around the target profile, material and production flow.

Coil Uncoiler

Application engineering

Configured around your product and line.

Operating principle

The sheet-metal coil is mounted on an expanding mandrel and clamped from its inner diameter; the mandrel is rotated by a motor drive or held by brake control to pay off the strip in a controlled manner. The loop formed between the coil and the line entry is monitored by a sensor, and unwinding speed adjusts automatically to the line's draw speed.

Integration

As the first station of the roll-forming line, it synchronises with line speed through the loop signal and supplies strip to the straightener or feeding unit.

Options follow the application

  • Powered-drive or brake-controlled operation
  • Hold-down arm for the outer coil wrap
  • Second mandrel station for alternating coil changeover
