The Tiltmatic tilting coil loader and unloader from France-based coil processing equipment manufacturer Dimeco Groupe is available in two versions for loading 300 mm wide 3,000 kg and 500 mm wide 5,000 kg coils.
Both models can handle coils up with up to 508mm inner diameters and 1,500mm outer diameters and operate at 5m per minute.
The Tilmatic is designed for use on a multitude of coil processing lines and to be loaded with a coil in the horizontal position using a forklift truck or stacker. When loaded it is able to tilt the coil through 90° into the vertical position and slide the coil onto the chuck of the uncoiler in one continuous movement. The system is reversible, when an unfinished coil needs to be changed, it is removed and turned flat, ready for putting back into stock.
The system is easy to use with the coil always being picked up in the same way using the coils inner diameter to enable a fixed loading height on the uncoiler, while a single drive motor tilts the coil and pushes it onto the chuck of the uncoiler.
No manual intervention is required from unloading the coil from the forklift to the chuck expansion and the coil remains stable throughout its movement.
