A large white arm reaches in, grips the coil and pulls it out as the rack tilts, then carries it toward the processing area while a worker in a light vest watches.<\/p>\n<p>The coil runs on orange rollers to the wrapping position, where material feeds down from above and is tightened around the coil. At another station a yellow arm comes down and centres a coil while a digital readout on the panel changes. Later a press head with side clamps lowers onto a part-wrapped coil, holds it and rises, and the coil moves on to a wooden pallet base.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-works\">How the coil line works<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Step<\/th>\n<th>What happens<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Rack<\/td>\n<td>Coils wait in a tilting upright rack<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pick<\/td>\n<td>A gripping arm pulls the coil out<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Convey<\/td>\n<td>The coil runs on the roller conveyor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Centre<\/td>\n<td>A yellow arm comes down and centres the coil<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrap<\/td>\n<td>Material is fed and tightened round the coil<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Press<\/td>\n<td>A press head holds the coil at the next station<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Out<\/td>\n<td>The coil leaves on a pallet base<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Pulling coils straight from the rack onto the conveyor takes the crane out of the packing step.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"passes\">Film passes and overlap per coil<\/h2>\n<p>We count passes at the OD, where overlap is lowest.
