Executive summary A steel coil has no flat face to stand on and every reason to roll. A coil tilter rotates a coil between vertical, eye-to-sky storage and horizontal, eye-to-wall processing on a cradle, so you never drag, tip or sling a multi-ton coil through the turn. Load capacity, cradle shape and tilt angle are configured per project.

The turning problem

Coils are stored with the eye vertical to take less floor space, and processed with the eye horizontal so the strip can be paid off to a slitter or uncoiler. Between those two positions sits the dangerous part of the job.

Tipping a coil with a crane and slings means swinging a cylindrical load that can slip mid-air. A coil tilter carries the coil in a cradle through the same turn under power, with the coil supported at every point of the rotation.

Was ein Coil-Tilt-System leistet

A steel coil tilter, also called an upender or downender, rotates a coil through 90 degrees between the eye-to-sky and eye-to-wall positions. The turn happens on a controlled cradle, not at the end of a chain.

The same unit works in both directions, so a coil can arrive vertical and leave horizontal, or the reverse.

Cradle designs

Hülle	Arbeiten jederzeit weiterbearbeiten können. Jede Präsentation und jeder KI-Avatar, den Sie von Grund auf neu erstellen oder hochladen,
V-Sattel	holds round coils without marking the edge
Flache Plattform	for coils that already sit on a flat or palletized base

A V saddle cradles the coil round shape and keeps it centered through the turn; we select the cradle from the coil diameter and banding.

Where it fits the line

Metal service centers: orienting coils for slitting, cutting or delivery.
Stamping shops: feeding coils to presses and processing lines.
Warehousing and logistics: turning stored coils for loading.
End-of-line packaging: turning coils before strapping or stretch wrapping.

On an automated line the tilter can sit between the coil storage rack and the wrapping or slitting station, with conveyors feeding it in and out.

Kernkomponenten

Komponente	Funktion / Rolle (Role) *
Grundrahmen	anchors the unit and carries the load
Rotating cradle	holds the coil through the tilt
Antrieb	rotates the cradle under power
Bedienfeld	pendant or push-button operation
Optionen	powered rollers, weighing, custom cradle

Typische Konfiguration

Die folgenden Angaben stellen gängige Ausgangswerte für diese Maschinenklasse dar und werden projektbezogen bestätigt.

Parameter	Typischer Bereich, je nach Projekt bestätigt.
Tragfähigkeit	1 t up to several tens of tonnes, sized to the coil
Neigungswinkel	90 degrees as standard; other angles on request
Tilt cycle	rotational speed adjusted to coil weight and line pace
Hülle	V saddle or flat platform, sized to coil diameter
Antrieb	electro-mechanical or hydraulic, selected per project from duty cycle and coil tonnage
Stromversorgung	220 V einphasig oder 380 V dreiphasig, je nach Projekt für die Anlagenversorgung ausgewählt

Zyklus und Steuerung

The operator places the coil in the cradle, then drives the tilt from the control panel. The cradle moves through the set angle under power, holds at the end of travel, and the coil is removed or carried to the next station.

Our footage shows this turn on a strapped coil in a mill setting; it is a general demonstration, so capacity, cradle size and tilt speed for your coils are confirmed with us per project. A full 90-degree tilt typically runs in a 40 to 90 second cycle, adjustable for coil weight and drive, and is confirmed per project.

Auswahl-Checkliste

Frage	Bestätigung pro Projekt
Schwerste Spule	Nenntragfähigkeit
Spulendurchmesser und -breite	cradle size and saddle shape
Drehrichtung	upender, downender or bidirectional, selected per project from process flow
Linienplatzierung	conveyor feed and discharge integration
Fahrwahl	elektromechanisch oder hydraulisch
Stromversorgung	Spannung, Phase und Frequenz vor Ort

Kontrollen und Sicherheit

Operation is from a pendant or push-button panel with start, stop, tilt forward and reverse, and an emergency stop. Keep the area clear while the cradle moves, keep the coil centered in the saddle, and stay inside the rated capacity. Routine checks cover cradle condition, drive and the safety devices, per the machine manual.

Häufig gestellte Fragen zur Technik

Q: Can it tilt more than 90 degrees? A: Yes. While 90 degrees is standard, custom tilt angles are available on request and confirmed per project.

Q: V saddle or flat platform? A: A V saddle suits round coils; a flat platform suits coils on a flat or palletized base. We select from your coil shape per project.

Q: Is the cycle automatic? A: The tilt is driven from the control panel, and it can run inside an automated line with conveyor feed; the level of automation is set per project.

Q: Does the tilter weigh the coil? A: Yes, as an option. Integrated load-cell weighing can be added, and the base frame is sized to the rated load per project.

Q: What capacity range is available? A: From about 1 t up to several tens of tonnes; the cradle and drive are sized to your heaviest coil per project.
