What are coil tippers?

Coil tippers are specialized machines used in the industrial sector to safely and efficiently rotate steel, aluminum, or other material coils from a horizontal to vertical position or vice versa. This equipment is essential for handling heavy coils, which can weigh several tons.

How do coil tippers contribute to safety in industrial workplaces?

Coil tippers enhance workplace safety by minimizing the need for manual handling of heavy coils, reducing the risk of injury to workers. They provide a controlled and stable method for rotating coils, thus preventing accidents associated with moving such large items.

What are the common types of coil tippers used in the United States and Mexico?

The most commonly used coil tippers include upenders, which tilt coils between 90 degrees positions; downenders, which work oppositely; C-hook type lifters that pick up and tip the coil; and V-shaped cradle devices designed for secure positioning during tipping.

Are there any specific regulations or standards governing the use of coil tippers in the USA and Mexico?

In the USA, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) provides guidelines on machinery safety that would apply to coil tippers. Similarly, Mexico has its own regulations under NOM (Norma Oficial Mexicana), ensuring equipment like coil tippers meet safety standards. Both countries emphasize proper maintenance, operation training, and safety procedures.

What considerations must be taken into account when selecting a coil tipper for an engineering project in these regions?

When selecting a coil tipper in the US or Mexico, consider factors such as load capacity matching your needs; compatibility with existing workspace dimensions and layout; ease of operation; reliability and durability of construction; compliance with local safety regulations; availability of after-sales support and parts within these regions; as well as energy efficiency if electric-powered units are being considered.

ProMat 2023: MAG to present panel discussion on VNA technology

The Mobile Automation Group (MAG) Industry Group of MHI will host a seminar session at ProMat 2023. The panel discussion, titled “Highflying Automation: How to Maximize Vertical Storage,” will discuss use cases for automated compact storage concepts, such as Automated Very Narrow Aisle (AutoVNA) turret trucks), Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), and 3D Shuttle systems.

More and more US metro areas see steadily increasing real estate prices. Combined with supply chain issues likely boosting the trend to more local stock as a safety buffer, warehouses must maximize storage density. AS/RS and 3D-Shuttle systems are automated by nature, but Very Narrow Aisle is often operated with manual turret trucks with or without assistance systems. The audience will learn about the benefits of AutoVNA vs. Manual Turret trucks, AI for storage strategies and inventory management, and real-world applications.

“The Mobile Automation Group is focused on promoting market awareness, growth, and the effective use of driverless industrial vehicles while bringing the value of education and preparedness to the forefront of mobile automation,” says MAG Chairman, Brian Keiger of stow Robotics. “The efficient use of space is a critical success factor in warehousing, and we as a group want to help customers understand that the deployment of AutoVNA trucks is a great way to safely and efficiently revolutionize the storage and retrieval of goods in the material handling vertical space, especially in narrow aisles.”

Panelists include Yanis Harmance of KION, John Hayes of Balyo, and Tim Harrison of Jungheinrich, and will be moderated by Ashley Rhodes from St. Onge.

MAG is one of 18 industry groups within MHI. MAG is a group of system and component suppliers that operate in the mobile automation market for material movement in manufacturing, warehousing, and other industrial applications.
