  • Patent number: 11904371
    Abstract: A coiling device that includes a coiler (1) having a coiling mandrel (3) for coiling a metal strip, and a coiling swing arm (4) having front and a rear pressure rollers (5, 6) and a deflection plate (7). A swing arm drive (8) lines up the coiling swing arm (4) with the coiling mandrel (3) and is driven away from the coiling mandrel (3). An upper duct flap (9) upstream of the coiler (1) in the feed direction (x) guides the metal strip (2). A flap drive (10) positions the upper duct flap (9) such that, when the coiling swing arm (4) is lined up with the coiling mandrel (3), the upper duct flap is arranged between the coiling mandrel (3) and the front pressure roller (5) of the coiling swing arm (4) or is arranged upstream of the front pressure roller (5) of the coiling swing arm (4).

  • Publication number: 20220193743
    Abstract: A coiling device includes a coiler (1) having a coiling mandrel (3) for coiling a metal strip (2) which is fed (x) to the coiler (1), and a coiling swing arm (4) having a front and a rear pressure roller (5, 6) and a deflection plate (7). A swing arm drive (8) lines up the coiling swing arm (4) with the coiling mandrel (3) and is driven away from the coiling mandrel (3). An upper duct flap (9) upstream of the coiler (1) in the feed direction (x) for guiding the metal strip (2). A flap drive (10) for positioning the upper duct flap (9) such that, when the coiling swing arm (4) is lined up with the coiling mandrel (3), the upper duct flap is arranged between the coiling mandrel (3) and the front pressure roller (5) of the coiling swing arm (4) or is arranged upstream of the front pressure roller (5) of the coiling swing arm (4).

  • Publication number: 20220184687
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preventing shape changes in metal coils, in particular for preventing a collapsing of newly wound hot coils. In the method, a metal coil, in particular a newly wound hot coil, is rotated about its longitudinal axis intermittently in a first rotational direction and then rotated back in a second opposing rotational direction, or further rotated in the first rotational direction.

  • Patent number: 11273480
    Abstract: A transport device (2, 50, 56, 88) for transporting a coil (4), comprising a coil transport cart (6) having a chassis (8) and having a coil support (10), which is height-adjustable relative to the chassis (8). In order to enable secure transport of the coil (4), the transport device (2, 50, 56, 88) has a movable fastening device (12) having a clamping unit (22) for pressing the coil (4) to be transported against the coil support (10). The clamping unit (22) being height-adjustable relative to the coil support (10) and being able to be at least partly inserted into a coil eye (42) of the coil (4). The fastening device (12) being fastened to the coil support (10) or to the chassis (8) of the coil transport cart (6). The coil support (10) having a cut-out (40), into which the clamping unit (22) can be at least partly lowered.

  • Publication number: 20170050227
    Abstract: A device (1) and a method for holding together and transporting a metal band rolled into a coil (3) after the band is rolled in a coiling station (5). The device (1) includes a removal trolley (20) for receiving the coil (3) in the coiling station (5) and for transporting the coil (3) from the coiling station (5). A coil safety device places a securing sling (40) around the coil (3) fixed on at least part of the circumference, such that the coil (3) is held together by the securing sling (40) and is pressed onto the removal trolley (20).
