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.

Abstract: A robot tool, a robot system and a method for packaging coils of sheet metal. A robot tool for coil packaging, having two ends, each end being provided with a coupling tool piece configured to interface with a robot arm; a roll holder shaft configured to hold a roll of wrapping material, the holder shaft at one end being rotatably mounted substantially midway between said ends and projecting substantially perpendicular to an axis extending between said ends. A robot system for coil packaging, having two industrial robots, each robot being provided with a robot arm having a coupling robot piece configured to interface with a robot tool; and a robot tool, the robot tool having two ends, each end being provided with a coupling tool piece configured to interface with a said robot arm.

Abstract: A protective insert for protecting e.g. coils or rolls of sheet steel or aluminum is disclosed. The protective insert is open and diametrically adjustable. The ends of the protective insert may be adjustably engaged by means of engagement means. The engagement means permit diametrical adjustment and locking of the diameter of the protective insert to a suitable diameter. A method of protecting a portion of an object, in particular a roll of sheet material, having a hollow core, is also disclosed.

Abstract: A protective insert (100) for protecting e.g. coils or rolls of sheet steel or aluminium is disclosed. The protective insert (100) is open and diametrically adjustable. The ends of the protective insert (100) may be adjustably engaged by means of engagement means (106, 206, 108, 208; 110). The engagement means (106, 206, 108, 208; 110) permit diametrical adjustment and locking of the diameter of the protective insert (100) to a suitable diameter. A method of protecting a portion of an object (400), in particular a roll of sheet material having a hollow core, is also disclosed.
