COILFARM

COILFARM from FORSTNER is a new, innovative, and adaptable solution to meet the changing market need for the fast, flexible availability of a wide variety of materials in a wide range of material thicknesses and color variants. This is one of the main reasons why we have developed the COILFARM for sheet metal working companies from architectural and industrial sectors.

Make your enterprise future-proof

When your company grows, the market changes and requirements increase, the FORSTNER COILFARM provides you with a reliable, flexible, and efficient machine solution. Take your production to a technically higher level and shape the world of tomorrow with us.

The benefits are

  • High capacity: With a capacity of up to 75 coils, a wide range of different materials, material thicknesses and color variants can be accessed immediately and without delay. This means that even larger projects running at the same time can be managed effortlessly.
  • Fast coil change: Thanks to a sophisticated system, coil change is quick, uncomplicated, and safe.  We incorporated a coil buffer station above the nuSLIT and change over buffer station behind the decoiler. This reduces set-up times to a minimum and significantly increases overall production efficiency.
  • Simple loading process: The sophisticated machine design makes the loading process of the COILFARM very simple. The mandrels can be easily attached to the coil and loading via the setup station increases your productivity.
  • Maximum precision: The integrated zero-line alignment (fixed edge) ensures that the materials are perfectly aligned every time to infeed into . Also, laser arm at nuSLIT infeed aligns lifting device vertically.  Errors and waste are thus reduced to a minimum.
  • Uncompromising quality: The quality standard for products from the CIDAN Machinery Group knows no compromises. With the COILFARM development, too, our credo was to bring form and function to a common denominator.

Gantry crane

The gantry crane, built on a double-rail foundation, is characterized by its robust design, high speed, and pinpoint positioning accuracy. It was developed based on modern crane technology and ensures durable, safe, and reliable operation for many years.

Coil storage rails

Coil storage is available in 3 widths and up to 72 coils at full diameter (50″ or 1270 mm). If the coils are smaller, more coils can be stored on the rails.

HMI: 19″ control

Step into intelligent coil management with the 19-inch Industrial Touch Panel HMI. This independent coil store interface allows the operator to optimize and reload the coil store without interrupting machine production – a blend of intuitive design and efficiency that ensures seamless operation. The control – with integrated nuIT software displays all coils with location, material type, thickness, color of the coil and the number of meters remaining on the coil.

Ultrasonic coil sensor

The ultrasonic coil sensor is designed to not only measure the diameter of the coil to determine placement on the storage rail, but it also measures the estimated length of the coil. Precision and efficiency – combined in one sensor.

Laser-guided sheet metal infeed measurement

Laser arm, which measures position of edge of coil to ensure lifting device either raises or lower, so the infeed to edge coil into the nuSLIT is correct. Over night or as the coil sets during day, the  coil edge drop lower, so laser is important to eliminate operator intervention

Setup-station

To feed the coils quickly, safely and with pinpoint accuracy, a zero-line alignment (fixed edge) is integrated into the system. Housed in a separate safety zone, it ensures set-up without interfering with the running machine processes.

Double lifting device

The double lifting device picks up the coil and transports it safely, quickly, and efficiently. Roller-bearing guides ensure safe lifting of the coil on the gantry crane.

Coil buffer station

Coil buffer station for quick change of coils into the nuSLIT (slitting and cutting to length), one coil is placed above the nuSLIT for quick efficient set-up.

Automatic insertion shift

If the coil is not on the zero line for the infeed, the infeed table shifts to pick up the coil in the nuSLIT coil unit.

Infeed pinch roller

Segmented infeed pinch rollers safely and precisely guide the material into the nuSLIT coil unit.

Decoiler-station

The system places the coil in the decoiler station after the edge of the coil has been inserted into nuSLIT. The decoiler combines a powerful motor-driven mechanism with precise design. Tailored for high-speed production, it promises consistent and reliable unwinding and increases efficiency and output quality in every cycle.

Changeover buffer station

Behind the decoiler, the system stacks the coil in use and places it in the programmed permanent staging position when the next coil unwinds and cuts sheets. This ensures that there is no downtime.
