 | The framework consists of heavy structural and plate steel
with a machined horn.
|
 | The turnstile arm passes completely through the downlayer allowing the last coils to be
removed without a turnstile pusher. The interleaving of coils, from
dragging on the turnstile arm, is virtually eliminated.
|
 | The single pivot design can accommodate 24 inch wide coils without
a pit.
|
 | A Demag wheelblock system, with a centrally mounted
drive, is used to eliminate any chains or belts.
|
 | Large bronze sleeve bearings are used for the pivot to
increase reliability.
|
 | A variable frequency drive is used to control the downlayer traverse
and ease the downlayer into the approaching coil.
|
 | A hydraulic decel circuit is used to control the downlayer
tilt to smooth out the operation.
|
 | Quality commercial components are used, including Parker
Hannifin cylinders and valves, Omni rollers, PCI cam followers,
and Char-Lynn
motors. |
