FullSharp installs a pneumatic jib crane with a force-sensing handle and a hook tool made for copper wire coils, so operators move coils from storage to the machine and slide them straight onto the shaft. The hook passes through the coil core and lifts both sides evenly, keeping the outer winding free of scratches and cutting rejects during frequent coil changes.

Copper wire coils are heavy, yet the outer winding scratches easily — hook it in the wrong spot and the whole coil gets rejected. Manual handling is tiring and makes it hard to center the coil on the machine shaft, especially when coils have to be swapped several times per shift.

FullSharp installs a pneumatic jib crane controlled by a force-sensing handle, fitted with a hook tool custom-made for copper wire coils. The hook slides through the core and lifts evenly on both sides, so a gentle push from the operator guides the coil straight onto the shaft.

Pneumatic Jib Crane with Hook Tool for Lifting Copper Wire Coils

Installed Equipment

  • Coil hook tool: slides through the coil core and supports it evenly, without pressing on the outer winding.
  • Force-sensing handle: the coil follows the operator's hand movement, so it lines up with the shaft center quickly.
  • Pneumatic jib arm: rotates around the column to connect the storage area to the machine, instead of dragging the coil across the floor.
  • Load-holding mechanism: the coil stays in place when the handle is released, freeing the operator's hands to align the shaft.

Benefits for Your Facility

No Scratches on the Winding

The hook supports the coil from the core, so the surface stays intact and rejects drop.

Faster Coil Changeovers

The coil lands on the shaft center on the first try, so the machine waits less.

Less Strain on Workers

Compressed air carries the coil's weight, leaving the operator to guide direction and position.

Frequently asked questions

How do you lift a wire coil without scratching the winding?

A hook tool slides through the coil core and supports it from inside, so nothing presses on the outer winding. The surface stays intact, which matters for copper wire that is rejected after a single scratch.

How does a force-sensing handle help align a coil with the shaft?

The coil follows the operator's hand movement, so small pushes line it up with the shaft center quickly. When the handle is released the coil stays in place, leaving both hands free for final alignment.

Can the jib crane cover both storage and the machine?

Yes. The pneumatic arm rotates around its column and links the storage area with the machine, so coils are no longer dragged across the floor. FullSharp sets reach and capacity after checking the real coil weight and layout.

FullSharp measures the core diameter, coil width and weight, and the machine shaft height before designing the hook tool. Our engineers select the jib arm's radius to match your actual layout, then install the system and run a test with real coils at your site.
