Executive summary The clip shows a dark steel coil standing eye to sky on a rotating turntable while a wrapping arm moves up and down and lays a paper-like cover in a spiral. A yellow mesh cage surrounds the station; an operator works from a pendant and panel with an emergency stop. The footage is treated as a reference cycle for our equivalent vertical coil wrapping station. Below: the motion on screen, how it differs from eye-through ring wrapping, and the checks before a station is built.

What the clip shows
| What is on screen | Detail |
|---|---|
| Coil | Dark steel coil standing vertically (eye to sky) on the turntable |
| Wrap | Wrapping arm moves up and down; paper-like material lays in a spiral as the turntable turns |
| Cage | Yellow wire-mesh safety cage around the working area |
| Supports | Two vertical silver posts on the base help hold the coil during load/unload |
| Controls | Pendant on a cable; panel with emergency stop; red/yellow/green stack lights |
| Environment | Factory floor; shelves of wrapped rolls behind; overhead crane hook nearby |
The wrap material in the clip looks like kraft paper or a similar sheet, not stretch film. Exact film type and coil weight are not readable on the machine.
How vertical turntable wrapping works
- The coil is set eye to sky on the turntable (crane or coil car).
- The cage is closed; the program starts.
- The turntable rotates while the carriage travels vertically, so each pass overlaps the last.
- When the program ends, the tail is wiped or cut and the coil is lifted out.
Overlap rate, tension and carriage speed are set in the PLC/HMI program for each coil type.
Turntable wrap vs eye-through ring wrap
| Layout | Best when |
|---|---|
| Vertical turntable + vertical carriage (this clip) | Coil already stands eye to sky and needs a spiral OD cover |
| Eye-through ring (FPCA / FPS family) | Coil lies flat and film must pass through the eye |
Both are in our coil wrapping range. The choice is fixed by coil orientation at the packing station and by whether the inner diameter must be covered.
Coil sizes our wrapping stations take
For eye-through ring wrapping (when the coil lies for a through-eye pass), two conveyor-fed examples from our coil wrapping machine range:
| Model | Coil ID | Coil OD | Coil width | Max weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FPCA-1000 | 508 / 610 mm | 700–1600 mm | 20–400 mm | 2000 kg |
| FPCA-1200 | 508–610 mm | 800–1400 mm | 20–500 mm | 2500 kg |
A vertical turntable station is sized to the coil OD, height and weight of the project. Table size, cage envelope and carriage stroke are designed per coil range — product pages are not exhaustive for every custom vertical cell.
Selection checklist for a vertical wrap station
- Coil ID, OD, width/height and weight, eye to sky.
- Wrap material: kraft paper, VCI paper, film or woven.
- Overlap rate and number of layers.
- Cage, light curtain and access doors.
- Load/unload: crane, C-hook or coil car.
- Destination market for the risk assessment package.
Controls and safety
The standards that apply depend on the destination market. For CE markets, ISO 12100 sets the risk-assessment method and EN 415-10 covers general requirements for packaging machines, which fixes guarding and the emergency-stop arrangement.
On the clip: mesh cage, emergency stop, stack lights and a light-curtain style sensor on the cage top. Guarding and interlocks for a production cell are fixed in the risk assessment for each layout.
Engineering FAQ
Q: Is the machine in the clip one of our standard catalogue cells? A: The clip is a reference cell. We design and build an equivalent vertical turntable station to your coil OD, height and weight.
Q: When do we choose turntable wrap over eye-through? A: When the coil stands eye to sky and only the outer diameter needs a spiral cover. Eye-through is for coils that lie flat and need film through the eye.
Q: What materials can be used? A: Paper, VCI paper, stretch film, PE/LLDPE and woven materials — set per the corrosion and handling plan for each coil type.
Q: Which coil sizes do FPCA-1000 / FPCA-1200 take? A: FPCA-1000: ID 508/610 mm, OD 700–1600 mm, width 20–400 mm, 2000 kg. FPCA-1200: ID 508–610 mm, OD 800–1400 mm, width 20–500 mm, 2500 kg.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Q: What safety features appear on the station in the clip? A: A yellow wire-mesh cage, stack lights, an emergency stop on the panel/pendant, and a light-curtain style sensor on the cage top.
Q: How is the coil loaded? A: Eye to sky, by crane, C-hook or coil car.
Next step
We plan a vertical coil wrapping station in three steps:
- Submit your layout drawing with coil range, wrap material and load/unload method, to info@fhopepack.com.
- Receive a proposal within 48 hours, with turntable or eye-through layout and the cage envelope.
- Book a site survey so we confirm crane coverage, floor space and guarding.
