A slitter or mill hands them over eye-horizontal; storage, pallets and many decoilers want them eye-vertical; export packing may need them turned back again. Each change done on a crane hook means a load swinging through 90\u00b0 above people, edge damage where chains bite, and minutes of work.<\/p>\n<p>A tilter makes the turn on a controlled pivot. The coil sits in a seat shaped for it, the operator stands away at the control box, and the same turn happens the same way every time.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"types\">Upending and turning solutions<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Solution<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Turn<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Typical use<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Mechanical coil upender (FPCT)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">90\u00b0<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">steel and wire coils, 3\u201320 t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Spool and drum tilter<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">90\u00b0<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">cable reels and spools<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">180\u00b0 turnover \/ flipper<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">180\u00b0<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">molds and loads that must land upside down<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The mechanical upender is the workhorse for coils: gear-motor driven, it stops at any angle and holds there even if the power goes off. Spool tilters use a chain drive and seats for flanged reels. A 180\u00b0 turnover suits loads that must be flipped completely.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how\">How a mechanical upender works<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Load.<\/strong> A crane, forklift or coil car sets the coil in the L-shaped seat. The workbench is made to suit each product.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tilt.<\/strong> A gear motor drives the turning body through helical gears and a worm reducer. A heavy-duty four-roll device carries the load through the tilt. An inverter controls the speed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stop.<\/strong> Two displacement limiters and limit sensors stop the turn at 90\u00b0; the worm drive holds the load at any angle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unload.<\/strong> The coil, now in its new orientation, is lifted off or runs out on a conveyor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The machine runs from a control box or a remote, which keeps the operator away from the turning position. The tilting platform works inside a mesh fence, and the operator stays outside it at the panel.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"specs\">FPCT upender data<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Model<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Max load<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Power<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Cycle<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">FPCT-03<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">3 t<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">1.3 kW<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">50\u201390 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">FPCT-05<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">5 t<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">2.0 kW<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">50\u201390 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">FPCT-10<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">10 t<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">2.5 or 4.5 kW by version, confirmed at quote<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">60\u201390 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">FPCT-20<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">20 t<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">7.8 kW<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">60\u2013100 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Across the range, cycles run 50\u2013100 s.
