Copper Coil Handling in Motor Winding Workshops

FullSharp installed a pneumatic jib crane with a dedicated copper coil gripper in a motor production area, where dozens of heavy, slippery coils move between storage, winding machines and assembly benches every shift. Soft-padded pneumatic jaws hold each coil without scratching the enamel, and one operator swings it into place.

Copper wire coils are heavy and slippery, so carrying them by hand risks dropping them and scratching the enamel insulation. Dozens of coils must be moved between storage, winding machines, and assembly benches each shift, quickly tiring workers.

FullSharp installs a pneumatic jib crane with a dedicated gripper for copper wire coils. The pneumatic gripper clamps around the coil's bore or body and holds it firmly throughout the move. The operator simply swings the arm to the right position and releases the clamp.

Equipment Installed

Post and swing arm: the arm rotates around the post to cover the full working area and stays fixed at any position.
Copper coil gripper: soft-padded jaws open and close pneumatically, holding the coil without pressing on the enamel coating.
Pneumatic balancer unit: carries the weight of the coil, so the operator raises and lowers it with the handle almost effortlessly.
Safety valve: holds pressure in the cylinder if air supply is lost, so the coil does not drop suddenly.

Benefits for Your Facility

Protects the enamel coating

Soft-padded jaws and steady air-pressure clamping force keep coils from scratches or deformation.

One person instead of two

The crane carries the weight, leaving only guidance to the operator. Fewer workers are needed per shift.

Steadier line pace

Coil transfer time between stations becomes consistent. Winding machines wait less for material.

Frequently asked questions

How do you lift copper coils without damaging the enamel?

Bare hands slip and hooks scratch. Here soft-padded jaws close pneumatically around the coil bore or body with steady clamping force, so the enamel insulation is not scratched and the coil does not deform.

What if compressed air is lost while carrying a coil?

A safety valve holds pressure in the cylinder if the air supply drops, so the coil does not fall suddenly. FullSharp includes this kind of protection on its pneumatic lift assists.

Does this reduce manpower?

Yes. The crane carries the weight and the operator only guides it, so one person does what used to take two. Coil transfer times also become consistent, so winding machines wait less for material.

Installation Consultation for Your Facility

FullSharp visits your site to measure the diameter, width, and weight of the coils, and to review the distance coils travel per shift. Based on this, we design jaws that match the coil profile and select the right reach for the swing arm. Schedule a site survey with FullSharp anytime.
