In stage two, a column stacker sets the wrapped coils on timber runners at marked stack positions, and a separate roller-table tilter turns between vertical and horizontal. Below we explain why the two stages are separated and what to specify for each.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1053\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IlXmJcyjtjo\" title=\"Automatic Stainless Steel Coil Packaging Line with Upender &amp; Stacker\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"table-of-contents\">Table of Contents<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#video\">What the machine does<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#why-two-stages\">Why wrapping and stacking are separate stages<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#stage-one\">Stage one: eye-through wrapping<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#stage-two\">Stage two: stacking on timber runners<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#tilter\">The roller-table tilter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#copper-specifics\">What changes for copper coils<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#selection-checklist\">Selection checklist for a two-stage line<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#safety\">Controls and safety<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#next-step\">Next step<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#related-reading\">Related reading<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#sources\">Sources<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"video\">What the machine does<\/h2>\n<p>The line runs three stations:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Eye-through wrapping:<\/strong> a coil lies flat, eye vertical, in a vertical ring that turns through the eye and lays film over the outside, the bore and both faces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Slewing column stacking:<\/strong> a column stacker picks each wrapped coil, swings it out and lowers it onto timber runners at floor stack positions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Roller-table tilter:<\/strong> pivots coils through 90\u00b0 between eye to sky and eye to wall, matching the plant&#8217;s dispatch rule.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"why-two-stages\">Why wrapping and stacking are separate stages<\/h2>\n<p>Separating the two stages has clear benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Each coil is sealed on its own.<\/strong> Coils can later be taken off a stack one by one without opening a package.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The ring only fits one coil.<\/strong> A ring sized for a full stack would be larger and slower.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The stacker works off-line from the ring.<\/strong> While the stacker builds a stack, the ring is already wrapping the next coil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"stage-one\">Stage one: eye-through wrapping<\/h2>\n<p>The ring passes through the eye while the rollers turn the coil, so film covers the outside, the bore and both faces. On our coil packing lines, PLC\/HMI programs set centring, tension and overlap per coil type. Film, paper or woven wrap can be specified, with PET or steel strapping to follow, as on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/end-to-end-copper-coil-packaging-automation-from-two-stage-stretch-wrapping-to-pallet-stacking\/\">two-stage coil wrapping and strapping line<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"stage-two\">Stage two: stacking on timber runners<\/h2>\n<p>The stacker is a slewing column with an arm. It picks a wrapped coil and swings it out to a stack position on the floor.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Timber runners are laid at the stack position.<\/li>\n<li>The arm lowers the first coil onto the runners.<\/li>\n<li>The next coil goes on top, eye vertical, until the stack is complete.<\/li>\n<li>A forklift takes the stack away on the runners.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Automatic-Coil-Packing-Line\/Copper-Coil-Packaging-line.html\">copper coil packaging line<\/a> lists \u00b12 mm stacking accuracy [manufacturer rating] and an automatic timber runner dispenser as an option, so runners need not be placed by hand. The automatic coil packing line allows up to 6 coils per stack.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tilter\">The roller-table tilter<\/h2>\n<p>The third machine is a tilter with a roller table: coils roll on, and the table tilts through 90\u00b0 between eye vertical and eye horizontal.<\/p>\n<p>This is how a line meets the dispatch rule: coils eye to sky on runners, or eye to wall. The automatic coil packing line offers both.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"copper-specifics\">What changes for copper coils<\/h2>\n<p>Copper strip and coils mark easily.

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.<\/p>\n<p>The slewing stacker sweeps an area of floor, so its stack positions sit inside the guarded zone. Fencing and stop circuits are fixed in the risk assessment for each layout.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: Why not wrap the whole stack instead of each coil?\nA: Single coils are taken off the stack later and dispatched separately. Wrapping each coil keeps the rest of the stack sealed when one coil is removed.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How heavy can the coils be?\nA: Our copper coil packaging line lists 20\u20131,500 kg for the basic version and 100\u20134,000 kg for the standard version [manufacturer rating].<\/p>\n<p>Q: How does the line avoid scratching copper surfaces?\nA: Contact parts on our copper coil packaging line are PU (polyurethane) coated, so steel does not touch the copper during transfer and stacking.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How accurate is the stacking?\nA: The copper coil packaging line lists \u00b12 mm stacking accuracy [manufacturer rating].<\/p>\n<p>Q: Do the timber runners have to be placed by hand?\nA: No. An automatic timber runner dispenser is an option on our copper coil packaging line, which lays the runners before the stacker sets the first coil.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can the line pack eye to wall as well as eye to sky?\nA: Yes. The roller-table tilter turns coils through 90\u00b0 between the two orientations.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<p>We plan a two-stage coil packing line in three steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Submit your layout drawing<\/strong> with coil range, stack pattern and dispatch orientation, to <strong>info@fhopepack.com<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receive a proposal within 48 hours<\/strong>, with the wrapper, stacker, tilter and floor layout.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book a site survey<\/strong> so we confirm stack positions, forklift routes and the guarded zone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/automated-copper-coil-packaging-line-from-upending-strapping-to-stacking-without-surface-damage\/\">Copper Strip Coil Packing Line: Upending, Eye-Through Wrapping and Stacking Without Surface Damage<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/next-generation-steel-coil-packaging-solutions-integrated-stretch-wrapping-and-stacking-technology\/\">Slit Coil Stretch Wrapping and Stacking Line: Eye-Through Ring to Gantry Stacker<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/inside-customer-workshop-how-our-automatic-steel-coil-upender-wrapping-machine-transforms-plant-safety\/\">Steel Coil Upender and Eye-Through Wrapping Line: Where the Safety Gains Come From<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Automatic-Coil-Packing-Line\/Copper-Coil-Packaging-line.html\">Copper coil packaging line<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Machine in action: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IlXmJcyjtjo\">the video on YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Coil weight ranges, PU contact parts, \u00b12 mm stacking, Siemens PLC\/HMI, runner dispenser: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Automatic-Coil-Packing-Line\/Copper-Coil-Packaging-line.html\">Copper coil packaging line<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Up to 6 coils per stack, eye to sky \/ eye to wall, PLC\/HMI settings: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Automatic-Coil-Packing-Line\/\">Automatic coil packing line<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Standards scope: ISO 12100:2010; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nen.nl\/en\/nen-en-415-10-2014-en-191845\">EN 415-10:2014<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Proposal timing: approved house CTA (proposal within 48 hours)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Last reviewed:<\/strong> 2026-10-29<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive summary A two-stage copper coil packing line separates the work: in stage one, each coil lies flat on powered rollers and a vertical ring wraps it through the eye in film.
