Efficient coil handling and storage are vital in high-volume manufacturing environments. Plymouth Industries recently engineered and fabricated a heavy-duty adjustable coil rack for a leading automotive vision safety provider to streamline coil feedstock handling in their module fabrication process.
Key Features
- Adjustable coil width: Supports coil widths from 1″ to 8″ in 1″ increments with three locking pins per support arm, accommodating a variety of copper and aluminum strip sizes used in LED panel assembly.
- Dual-coil capacity: Holds two coils side by side, reducing changeover time and increasing throughput on the production line.
- Four-way forklift access: Four pockets allow swift positioning and transport without rotating the rack.
- ID core lifting points: Internal diameter (ID) access simplifies safe lifting and positioning of delicate coil cores.
- HDPE-lined resting surfaces: High-density polyethylene liners protect coil edges and finishes, critical for preserving substrate integrity in precision electronics.
- 8,000 lb capacity: Robust carbon steel frame offers a generous load rating.
Industrial Benefits
Versatile Coil Storage Rack
One rack adapts to multiple coil series (48″–53″ diameters, 16″ ID), reducing the need for multiple fixed-size racks on the shop floor.
Improved Material Handling
Dual-coil capacity and four-way forklift access cut material moves in half and eliminate time-wasting repositioning.
Enhanced Coil Protection
HDPE liners and smooth weld finishes safeguard sensitive substrates, minimizing rejects and rework.
Seamless Integration
ID core access and precision fabrication ensure compatibility with existing hoists, tongs, and automated handling systems.
By integrating this heavy-duty adjustable coil rack into their LED module fabrication line, our automotive vision safety customer has reduced handling steps and protected valuable coil stock, demonstrating how Plymouth Industries’ custom coil storage rack solutions drive operational efficiency.
