  • Publication number: 20250115384
    Abstract: A system for sheet coil packaging using a roll of wrapping material is provided, including: a sheet coil rotating arrangement; a wrapping tool; an end attachment tool, including a heating arrangement; and first and second industrial robots. The first and second industrial robots have first and second robot arms arranged to: wrap the sheet coil using sequences of the first robot arm inserting the wrapping tool into a central hole of the sheet coil and handing over the wrapping tool to the second robot arm, and the second robot arm transporting the wrapping tool along the outside of the sheet coil and handing it back to the first robot arm; and attach wrapping material from the roll of wrapping material to the wrapping on the sheet coil by heating the wrapping material using the heating arrangement, by the first robot arm moving the end attachment tool so that the heating arrangement becomes positioned to heat the wrapping material.

  • Patent number: 12246867
    Abstract: A robot system and a method for packaging coils of sheet metal is provided. The method and robot system for coil packaging, having two industrial robots, each robot being provided with a robot arm provides for a solution where the direction of travel along the envelope surface of the coil is inclined relative the rotational axis of the coil, positioning of the roll of wrapping material in three-dimensional along the circumferential edge may be adjusted for each pass and/or where the positioning of the longitudinal axis of the roll or wrapping material is in an inclined angular direction relative the direction of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20240375801
    Abstract: An edge protection mounting device for use in a system for sheet coil packaging is provided. The edge protection mounting device includes a mounting arm arrangement including at least one edge protection material guide, configured to feed out and guide edge protection material into correct positions along at least one edge of a sheet coil. The at least one edge protection material guide is shaped to guide the edge protection material so that it is displaced sideways from the mounting arm arrangement. Further, a system for sheet coil packaging is provided, including a sheet coil wrapping arrangement, a sheet coil rotating arrangement, and two edge protection mounting devices. A method of sheet coil packaging is also provided, including wrapping a sheet coil using a sheet coil wrapping arrangement, and feeding out edge protection material along edges of the sheet coil using two edge protection mounting devices.
