Because the table slides, the coil can be loaded and unloaded clear of the turning body, by forklift, crane or conveyor. It is multipurpose because the cradle and table are designed to the load: steel and wire coils, film-wrapped coils, spools or molds. Below: how it works, where it fits, how to size the slide and the cycle, and the safety points.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"940\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RSj7mbgIMGc\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<h2 id=\"table-of-contents\">Table of Contents<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#why\">Why add a slide table to a tilter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how\">How the tilter with slide table works<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#uses\">Multipurpose uses<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#example\">Sizing example: slide stroke and cycle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#features\">Features and control<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#selection-checklist\">Selection checklist<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#safety\">Safety: EN 415-10 and ISO 12100<\/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=\"why\">Why add a slide table to a tilter<\/h2>\n<p>On a plain tilter, the coil has to be placed straight into the seat, under or beside the turning body. That is awkward for a forklift and slow for a crane, and the operator ends up close to the pivot. A slide table moves the loading point out of the tilter. The coil is set down on the table in the open, the table slides it into the cradle, and after the turn it slides out again for pick-up.<\/p>\n<p>It also lets the tilter sit in a line: the table can be part of the conveying system, so coils move in and out automatically.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how\">How the tilter with slide table works<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Load.<\/strong> The coil is placed on the slide table outside the cradle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Slide in.<\/strong> The table carries the coil into the semicircular cradle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seat.<\/strong> The coil seats against the cradle sidewalls and V-groove platform so it stays stable during the turn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Turn.<\/strong> The turning body rotates the cradle and coil through 90\u00b0 (or 180\u00b0 on a turnover version).

The hazards are the turning body, the cradle, the sliding table and a heavy coil in motion. Displacement restrictors limit the turn, the positioning lock holds the cradle, and the E-stop is on the panel away from the machine. Guarding is set in the risk assessment for each layout.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: Why a slide table rather than loading straight into the cradle?\nA: Loading happens in the open, clear of the pivot, by forklift, crane or conveyor.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can it turn 180\u00b0?\nA: Yes, on a turnover version; the standard turn is 90\u00b0.<\/p>\n<p>Q: What if power fails mid-turn?\nA: A mechanical worm drive holds the load; the turn can stop at any angle.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can it handle molds as well as coils?\nA: Yes, with a cradle and table designed for the mold.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Send load sizes, weights and the turn you need<\/strong> to info@fhopepack.com.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We design<\/strong> the cradle,
