Thus, this construction facilitates feeding and removal of the coils to be wrapped.
- the machine is also small and simple.
- this device still is constructed for a facility or a part of a facility specially adapted to the wrapping process.
- the machine is preferably placed at the facility for a long period of time and is mainly used in large volume manufacturing. A need of a more flexible solution for small volume manufacturing customers has arisen.

Description
- The present invention relates generally to a coil packaging system comprising a coil wrapping device.
- Packing of sensitive goods by wrapping them with an impervious, stretchable wrapping medium, for example a stretch wrap plastic film, has been known for many years. When using this wrapping method the goods are protected against corrosion or soiling during transport and handling. Even large articles, such as coils of steel strip, are packaged with this method. However, packaging of coils of steel strip is particularly difficult due to their shape, size and weight. In order to fully wrap the coil still leaving an open center to receive coil handling equipment a method called through-the-eye wrapping has been developed.
- In prior art
US5282347 andWO2007/128885 such through-the-eye wrapping devices are described. - In
US5282347 the wrapping device comprises spool holder, on which the wrapping medium is attached. The spool holder is mounted on a shuttle able to ride around a loop structure defining an endless stationary track enclosing and stretching through center of the coil. The loop structure is mounted in one of its sides on a portal type support structure and is able to move in the vertical direction. When loading a coil to be wrapped the loop structure is opened in one end and the coil is delivered in place by a trolley running on rails in the floor. - This wrapping device is large and heavy. It is also firmly attached to the floor of the facility and requires an advanced rail structure delivering the coils.
- The wrapping device/machine disclosed in
WO2007/128885 has a different structure where the loop structure or wrapping ring is mounted on a frame and can be opened both from above and from the sides. Further, the wrapping ring can be pivoted around a horizontal axis, opening up for the delivery of the coil to a rotation roller either connected to the machine or moveable. Thus, this construction facilitates feeding and removal of the coils to be wrapped. The machine is also small and simple. - However, this device still is constructed for a facility or a part of a facility specially adapted to the wrapping process. The machine is preferably placed at the facility for a long period of time and is mainly used in large volume manufacturing. A need of a more flexible solution for small volume manufacturing customers has arisen.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a whole coil packaging system comprising a coil wrapping device and all for the operation useable machinery, as claimed in
claim 1. The packaging system shall be compact, transportable and adapted to easily be unloaded and taken into production use in a matter of hours. - The coil packaging system in
claim 1 comprises a coil wrapping device comprising a frame, a wrapping ring and a wrapping head arranged to be guided along the wrapping ring. Further the system comprises a coil rotating means adapted to carry and to rotate the coil. The invention is characterized in that the frame of the coil wrapping device and the coil rotating means are both attached to one transportable platform and that and that the wrapping ring is arranged in a first position having a first direction in relation to the transportable platform during transport and a second position having a second direction in relation to the transportable platform during operation. - By attaching both the coil wrapping device and the coil rotation means to one platform a compact and portable wrapping system is created forming one single entity that includes all necessary features for wrapping a coil with stretchable wrapping medium. When the wrapping ring alone or the entire wrapping device has a possibility to rotate between a first transporting position and a second operation position the whole system can be made more compact during transport and still be aligned with the coil rotating means during operation.
- In a preferred embodiment of the invention the wrapping ring is arranged to rotate around an essentially vertical rotation axis in relation to the transportable platform.
- By arranging the wrapping ring rotatable it is possible to align the ring with the coil rotating means, thus optimizing the wrapping process.
- In an embodiment of the coil packaging system the frame of the coil wrapping device is rotatably attached to the transportable platform and in another embodiment of the coil packaging system the wrapping ring is rotatably attached to the frame and is arranged to rotate around the rotation axis.
- In a further embodiment the transportable platform has a rectangular shape limited by first and second short outer edges and first and second long outer edges and where the first direction of the wrapping ring is a direction essentially parallel to the long edges of the platform and the second direction of the wrapping ring is a direction essentially transversal to the long edges of the platform. Preferably, the coil wrapping device is arranged essentially inside all the outer edges of the transportable platform when in its first transporting position.
- A platform with a rectangular shape is easy to transport, for example on a commercial vehicle or a train, and since a wrapping device of known type usually is wider in one direction a preferred transporting direction of the device is parallel to the long edge of the platform.
- In further embodiments the packaging system is provided with more features useable for the operation. In the embodiments all or one of the following features in attached to the transportable platform; an operator panel, an electric central, a tool box and/or a safety system.
- From the operator panel the semi-automatic functions of the device are controlled. The operator panel is preferably a stand-alone panel. By including an electric central to the packaging system the device is quickly installed since it can be directly attached to the facility's power net. The tool box is preferably including all necessary tools for operating the device. Further, it is also possible to store a machine cover in the box. The machine cover may be a tarpaulin adapted to cover the whole packaging system, preferably resting on a frame construction. To protect the operator and other persons in the vicinity of the device a safety system may also be included.
- In a first embodiment the safety system comprises a foldable fence adapted to at least partly encircle the coil wrapping device and coil rotating means when in the second operating position. The foldable fence is preferably encircling three sides of the system and may also have an optical barrier on the forth side. The fence is stopping persons from being too close to the machine but it is still possible to reach the device by entering through the optical barrier.
- In another embodiment the safety system comprises a safety laser system. With the safety laser system the fence to keep persons out is replaced by a laser creating an optical barrier around the device and the coil rotating means. The safety laser system creates a non-contact monitoring of a freely programmable area.
- In a further embodiment also the coil rotating means is rotatably attached to the transportable platform. If the coil rotating means has a possibility of rotating in relation to the platform and thus also in relation to the wrapping device, the delivery of the coil to the rotating means is facilitated. It is then possible to use different types of delivery vehicles with carrying means not limited to deliverance in a direction exactly in line with the wider direction of the wrapping device.
- In a further preferred embodiment the transportable platform is adapted to be fitted into a container and/or to be the bottom of the container. The container may have foldable and/or removable walls and/or ceiling which are encircling the coil packaging system when in transport position.
- Using a transport platform with a size adapted to a standard size container, preferably a 20 feet container having the dimensions 2440 mm x 6000 mm, is further simplifying the transport of the entire packaging system. The whole platform may then be easily loaded into and unloaded out of the container. If foldable walls and/or ceiling is used it is even more simple to take the device into production. The covering of the platform can also be a frame construction covered with a tarpaulin.
- In a further embodiment the rotation of the coil wrapping device and/or the coil rotating means is manually or automatically performed. The possibility to be able to use either manual or automatic control of the rotation of the device and/or the coil rotating means opens up for the customer to customize the system after his/her needs. The system may then be fully or semi-automatic.

Thefirst direction D 1 is a direction where the extension direction of preferablyoval wrapping ring 12 is essentially parallel to thelonger edges platform 40 and the second direction D2 is a direction where thewrapping ring 12 is essentially transversal to thelonger edges - In
figure 3b a second embodiment of the invention is shown, where instead the wrappingring 12 is rotatably attached to theframe 11 which in turn is firmly mounted on theplatform 40. Thus, the wrappingring 12 rotated in relation to theframe 11 around thevertical rotation axis 10" between the first position P1 and the second position P2. - For the device in its second operational position see
figures 2 ,5 and8b . - In
figure 4 it is shown that the wrappingarm 12 is arranged in a position approximately 45 degrees from the horizontal plane. The angle of thearm 12 is varying due to the size of theplatform 40 and is adapted so that thearm 12 is keeping a position inside a vertical extension of the longouter edges platform 40. - The rotation axis 10' of the first embodiment, shown in
figure 3a , is preferably arranged coaxially in a rotation joint 43a of a suitable construction connecting theplatform 40 and theframe 11 of thewrapping device 10. Therotation axis 10" of the second embodiment, shown infigure 3b , is preferably arranged coaxially in a rotation joint 43b instead connecting thewrapping ring 12 and theframe 11. Both joint 43a and joint 43b are disclosed infigure 4 , however only one of the two rotation joints is used in the respective embodiment. The rotation axis 10' and therotation axis 10" do not have to be coaxial. - The rotation joint 43a, 43b is for example placed at a position approximately centred between the
short edges long edges wrapping device 10 is inside the platform area both during transport, rotation and use. Further, thewrapping device 10 is so mounted on the platform thatframe 11 or thewrapping ring 12 can freely rotate in relation to the for the operationuseable machinery 30 which also is attached to the platform and thus included in the packaging system. - The, for the operation
useable machinery 30 is specially marked infigures 5-8b and are preferably one or all of a standalone operator panel 31, an electric central 32, atool box 33 and/or a safety system 34. From the operator panel 31 the semi-automatic or fully automatic functions of thedevice 10 are controlled. By including an electric central 32 to the packaging system thedevice 10 is quickly installed since it can be directly attached to the facility's power net. Thetool box 33 is preferably including all necessary tools for operating the machine. Further, it is also possible to store a machine cover in the box. The machine cover may be a tarpaulin adapted to cover the whole packaging system, preferably resting on a frame construction. To protect the operator and other persons in the vicinity of the device a safety system may also be included. - The safety system, as disclosed in
figures 5-7 , comprises afoldable fence 34a adapted to at least partly encircle the coil wrapping device and coil rotating means when it is in its second operating position. Thefoldable fence 34a is preferably encircling three sides of the system and may also have anoptical barrier 34a' on the forth side. The fence is stopping persons from being too close to the device but it is still possible to reach the device by entering through the optical barrier. - The safety system, disclosed in
figures 8a and 8b , comprises a safetylaser scanning system 34b. Thesafety system 34b is placed on a telescopic orfoldable part 35 and scans a preprogrammed danger zone A1 of thedevice 10 and when a person is reaching the zone A1 the operator O is warned of the potential danger or the device is stopped directly. The operator O can move freely in an area around the operator panel 32. To allow the device to move without causing warning signals a second zone A2 inside thedanger zone A 1 is preprogrammed not to create a warning. Thus, the laser is creating an optical barrier around the device and the coil rotating means. Thesafety laser system 34b creates a non-contact monitoring of a freely programmable area A1, A2. - When the
coil wrapping device 10 is in its first position P1 it is arranged essentially inside all the outer edges 41, 42 of thetransportable platform 40. When in this position the coil packaging system may be easily transported, preferably by arranging the system in aregular container 60. Thus the whole system can be loaded on a transport vehicle as one entity and easily delivered to coil manufacturing facilities. When in place the device is rotated from its transport position,fig 3 , to its operational position,figure 2 , either automatically or manually. Because a complete system is delivered the device/machine is easily installed and quickly taken into production.
