Product Description
 
The single arm uncoiler is an efficient, compact, and space-saving device designed for uncoiling steel coils in tube mills and other metalworking lines. Compared to double-head uncoilers, the single arm uncoiler offers a larger load capacity of up to 15 tons, making it ideal for handling heavier coils. This design ensures greater stability and efficiency when processing heavy steel coils.
  • Higher Load Capacity
    Compared to double-head uncoilers, the single-arm uncoiler has a higher load capacity, capable of handling coils weighing up to 15 tons. It offers stable uncoiling support for both light and heavy coils, ideal for high-demand production environments.

  • Quick Coil Change System
    The single-arm uncoiler supports a quick coil change system, allowing operators to switch to a new coil quickly when the current coil runs out, ensuring no downtime on the production line. Coil change time is typically within 2 minutes.

  • Hydraulic Expansion and Retraction
    The hydraulic system allows the mandrel to quickly expand and contract, accommodating different coil sizes. This feature reduces manual operations and improves production efficiency.

  • Tension Control
    An optional tension control system maintains constant tension during uncoiling. The system monitors the tension in real time and adjusts it automatically for stable production.

  • Multiple Control Options
    Manual operation mode is available for small-batch production or simple applications. An optional PLC control system allows for automated control, data collection, and production line integration, improving automation and production efficiency.

  • High Adaptability
    The single-arm uncoiler can handle coils of various thicknesses and widths, and is compatible with carbon steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and other materials, meeting a wide range

  • 3. Workflow Overview
      1. Mandrel
        Designed with a single-arm structure, the mandrel uses a hydraulic expansion system to securely hold the coil. It can handle larger coil IDs and heavier coils, with a maximum load capacity of 15 tons, making it ideal for high-load production lines.

      2. Hydraulic System
        The hydraulic system is used for mandrel expansion and retraction, providing strong support to keep even heavy coils securely in place.

      3. Motor
        The motor drives the mandrel to rotate the coil, with adjustable motor power to accommodate different material uncoiling requirements.

      4. Tension Control Device
        The tension control system adjusts the tension of the steel strip, ensuring stable feeding into the production line without over-tightening or loosening.

      5. Guide Device
        Keeps the steel strip aligned with the production line during uncoiling, preventing the strip from deviating from the track.

      6. Control System
        Offers both manual and automatic operation modes. An optional PLC control system enables automatic coil change, tension adjustment, and production line linkage for improved automation.

      7. Support Frame
        The frame is made of steel structure to ensure stability and robustness during operation. Adjustable legs are provided for adaptability to different production environments.
