FullSharp installs a pneumatic manipulator that clamps and lifts material rolls up to 250 kg, with an electric motor that turns each roll between upright and horizontal for machine loading. One person runs the whole clamp, lift and tilt cycle from a single control panel, so nobody pushes a heavy roll over by hand and the core and outer layer stay undamaged.
Material rolls are heavy and round, making them hard to handle — rolling them by hand easily distorts the core and scuffs the outer layer. When a roll must be stood up or laid down to load onto a machine, workers often push it at an angle by hand, one of the most accident-prone moves in the roll-change area.
FullSharp installs a pneumatic manipulator for lifting rolls up to 250 kg with an electric roll-turning motor. The roll is clamped and lifted with compressed air, then tilted to the needed orientation by the motor — one person at the control panel completes the whole cycle.
Pneumatic manipulator with roll-turning motor handling a 250 kg material roll in a factory.
The roll is lifted, tilted, and loaded onto the shaft in one continuous cycle, so the machine stops less often.
No more pushing a roll at an angle by hand in a cramped area.
The clamp hugs the exact profile of the roll, so the core stays true and the outer layer stays free of scuffs.
A roll manipulator clamps the roll, lifts it on compressed air, and an electric motor rotates it to the needed orientation. The operator stays at the control panel instead of tipping the roll by hand, which is one of the riskiest moves in a roll change area.
The clamp head hugs the roll diameter and holds it firmly without denting the core or tearing the outer wrap. FullSharp matches the clamp to the real roll size and material before building the head.
An air-loss safety lock keeps the clamp engaged, so the roll cannot slip out if supply pressure falls. The lifting unit also holds the roll at the set height for loading onto the machine.
FullSharp measures the roll's diameter, width, and weight along with the machine shaft height to select the right clamp configuration. Our engineers calculate the lifting travel and tilt angle, install the unit at the roll-change position, and test it with an actual roll before handover.
