Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a coil packaging system for wrapping a coil with wrapping material, with a hand-over of wrapping material between two robotic arms.
  • a coil packaging system comprising a first robot arm having a grappling portion adapted to grip a wrapping material, a second robot arm having a grappling portion adapted to grip the wrapping material, and a coil rotating means adapted to carry and rotate a coil about a coil axis.
  • the first robot arm is movable along a first horizontal axis which, in an operating position, coincides with the coil axis
  • the second robot arm is movable along a second horizontal axis, the second horizontal axis being parallel to the first horizontal axis, and along a third horizontal axis, the third horizontal axis being perpendicular to the second axis.
  • the robot arms may further be adapted to pass the wrapping material between each other.
  • the system may be implemented using existing technology which further facilitates implementation of such a system.
  • the first grappling portion is adapted to grip a top part of the wrapping material, and the second grappling portion is adapted to grip a bottom part of the wrapping material.
  • the second robot arm is extendable along the third axis and is mounted on a guide rail movable along the second axis.
  • the first and second robot arms are adapted to move simultaneously along the first and second horizontal axes. By having the robot arms move parallel to one another there is no need for a sensing and/or coordinating system to keep them properly aligned with each other during operation.
  • first robot arm is arranged at a first height and the second robot arm is arranged at a second height, wherein the distance between the first and the second height is substantially the same as the height of the wrapping material. This may further decrease the need for coordinating and moving the system during operation, as it may be pre- configured for specific heights of coils and wrapping materials.
  • the robot arms are adjustable along a vertical axis.
  • the coil rotating means may also be adjustable along a vertical axis. This enables the system to accommodate coils of various sizes and shapes, since the first robot arm should be roughly aligned with the eye of the coil during operating.
  • a coil packaging system comprising a first robot arm having a grappling portion adapted to grip a wrapping material, a second robot arm having a grappling portion adapted to grip the wrapping material, and a coil rotating means adapted to carry and rotate a coil about a coil axis.
  • the first robot arm is only movable along a first horizontal axis which, in an operating position, coincides with the coil axis, and the second robot arm is movable along a second horizontal axis, the second horizontal axis being parallel to the first horizontal axis, and along a third horizontal axis, the third horizontal axis being perpendicular to the second axis.
  • the robot arms may further be adapted to pass the wrapping material between each other.
  • a coil packaging system comprising a first robot arm having a grappling portion adapted to grip a wrapping material, a second robot arm having a grappling portion adapted to grip the wrapping material, and a coil rotating means adapted to carry and rotate a coil about a coil axis.
  • the first robot arm is only movable along a first horizontal axis which, in an operating position, coincides with the coil axis, and wherein the first robot arm is adapted to move through the eye of the coil, and the second robot arm is movable along a second horizontal axis, the second horizontal axis being parallel to the first horizontal axis, and along a third horizontal axis, the third horizontal axis being perpendicular to the second axis.
  • the robot arms may further be adapted to pass the wrapping material between each other.
  • a coil packaging system comprising a first robot arm having a grappling portion adapted to grip a wrapping material, a second robot arm having a grappling portion adapted to grip the wrapping material, and a coil rotating means adapted to carry and rotate a coil about a coil axis.
  • the first robot arm is only movable along a first horizontal axis in a process of wrapping the coil, which, in an operating position, coincides with the coil axis
  • the second robot arm is movable along a second horizontal axis, the second horizontal axis being parallel to the first horizontal axis, and along a third horizontal axis, the third horizontal axis being perpendicular to the second axis.
  • the robot arms may further be adapted to pass the wrapping material between each other.
  • a coil packaging system comprising a first robot arm having a grappling portion adapted to grip a wrapping material, a second robot arm having a grappling portion adapted to grip the wrapping material, and a coil rotating means adapted to carry and rotate a coil about a coil axis.
  • the first robot arm is only movable along a first horizontal axis in a process of wrapping the coil, which, in an operating position, coincides with the coil axis, and wherein the first robot arm is adapted to move through the eye of the coil, and the second robot arm is movable along a second horizontal axis, the second horizontal axis being parallel to the first horizontal axis, and along a third horizontal axis, the third horizontal axis being perpendicular to the second axis.
  • the robot arms may further be adapted to pass the wrapping material between each other.
  • Fig. 1 discloses a top view of a coil packaging system in an operational position.
  • Fig. 2 discloses a side view of the coil packaging system of Fig .1 in the operational position.
  • Fig. 3 discloses a perspective side view of the coil packaging system of Fig. 1 in the operational position.
  • Fig. 1 shows a top view of a system 100 for packaging coils according to the present disclosure in an operational position.
  • the system comprises a first robot arm 110, which is movable along a first horizontal axis A1 , and a second robot arm 120, which is movable along a second horizontal axis A2.
  • the second horizontal axis A2 is parallel to the first horizontal axis A1
  • the second robot arm 120 is also movable along a third horizontal axis A3, which is perpendicular to the first and second horizontal axes A1 and A2.
  • the system 100 further comprises a coil rotating means 140, adapted to carry and rotate a coil 150 about a coil axis A1 , wherein the coil axis A1 is the same as the first horizontal axis A1 along which the first robot arm 110 is movable.
  • the first robot arm 1 10 and the second robot arm 120 are both adapted to grip and carry a wrapping material 114.
  • the first robot arm comprises a grappling portion 112 and the second robot arm comprises a grappling portion 122, where the two grappling portions are similarly adapted to grip and carry a wrapping material.
  • the height of the grappling portions 112, 122 are adapted to grip the wrapping material 114 at different heights, for instance the first grappling portion 112 of the first robot arm 110 may be adapted to grip a bottom portion of the wrapping material 1 14 while the second grappling portion 122 of the second robot arm 120 may be adapted to grip a top portion of the wrapping material 114.
  • the first robot arm 110 and the second robot arm 120 may more easily pass the wrapping material 114 between one another, as compared to a solution wherein the grappling portions 112, 122 are adapted to grip the same part of the wrapping material 1 14.
  • each grappling portion may comprise two grappling arms which are adapted to grip the wrapping material on one side each, and the wrapping material may have handles adapted to be gripped by the grappling portions.
  • the first robot arm 110 is typically only movable in one direction, which is along the first horizontal axis A1.
  • the first robot arm 1 10 is only movable or adapted to move in one direction in or during a process of wrapping the coil, as described for instance in [0031 ] which is along the first horizontal axis A1.
  • the first robot arm 110 is only movable or adapted to move in one direction, during operation or during operation of wrapping the coil, as described for instance in [0031 ] which is along the first horizontal axis A1.
  • the first robot arm 110 may be adapted to move in a plurality of directions, however for the purpose of carrying out the process of, or during operation of wrapping the coil, the first robot arm 110 is only moving or is movable or adapted to move in one direction which is along the first horizontal axis A1.
  • the second robot arm 120 is movable in two directions, wherein the second direction is
  • the second robot arm is movable along the second horizontal axis A2 which is parallel to the first horizontal axis A1 , as well as along the third horizontal axis A3 which is perpendicular to the first and second horizontal axes A1 , A2.
  • the robot arms are further adapted to pass the wrapping material 114 between one another, in order to be able to completely cover a coil 150 with wrapping material 114.
  • the first robot arm 110 is adapted to pass the wrapping material to the second robot arm 120, and the second robot arm 120 is likewise adapted to pass the wrapping material to the first robot arm 110, so that the wrapping material 114 may be passed around the entirety of the coil 150, as well as through the eye of the coil 150.
  • the first robot arm 110 is movable along the first horizontal axis A1 , which is also the axis of the coil 150, and therefore the first robot arm 110 is adapted to move through the eye of the coil 150.
  • the second robot arm 120 is adapted to give the wrapping material 114 to the first robot arm 110 before the first robot arm 110 moves through the eye of the coil 150, and is also adapted to receive the wrapping material 114 from the first robot arm 1 10 after it has moved through the eye of the coil 150. Since the first 110 and second 120 robot arms are similarly adapted with grappling portions, there is virtually no difference between the first arm 110 giving the wrapping material and the second arm 120 receiving it, and the second arm 120 giving the wrapping material 114 and the first arm 110 receiving it.
  • the first robot arm 110 and the second robot arm 120 are adapted to move parallel to each other. This removes the need for a system for coordinating the arms with one another, since the movements will always be coordinated along the parallel axes A1 and A2.
  • Fig. 2 shows a side view of the system of Fig .1.
  • the first robot arm 110 and the second robot arm 120 may be mounted at different heights relative to the ground. This is for facilitating the hand-over of the wrapping material 114 in an embodiment wherein the first arm 110 grips the wrapping material at a top side, and the second arm 120 grips the material at a bottom side.
  • the coil rotating means 140 are adapted to carry and rotate a coil 150.
  • the rotating means 140 must be sturdy enough to handle the weight of a coil 150 which may be very heavy.
  • the rotating means 140 may comprise two rollers 142 which are rotatable in order to rotate the coil 150.
  • the rotating means 140 may be differently arranged while still achieving the same purpose, for instance they may comprise a bottom part adapted to carry the coil and have two rollers disposed at a top side of the coil 150 adapted to rotate the coil.
  • the first 110 and/or second 120 robot arm may be vertically adjustable in order for the system to handle coils of various sizes and shapes. Since at least one of the robot arms 110 is adapted to transport the wrapping material 114 through the eye of the coil 150, vertical adjustability between the arms 110, 120 and the coil 150 is required. This may be achieved by having at least one of the robot arms mounted on vertically adjustable rails 160, which may be for instance pneumatically operated. In some embodiments, the coil rotating means 140 may be adapted to be vertically adjustable instead of the robot arms, for instance by being mounted on vertically adjustable rails 170, for achieving the same functionality. Furthermore, both the robot arms 110, 120 and the coil rotating means 140 may be vertically adjustable.
  • FIG. 3 a three-dimensional side view of the system is shown, which exemplifies the positioning of the robot arms 110, 120, the coil 150 and the wrapping material 114, before the robot arm 1 10 is about to move through the eye 154 of the coil 150.
  • FIG. 3 An exemplifying process of wrapping a coil 150 with a system according to the present disclosure will now be described with reference to Fig. 3.
  • the robot arm 110 is in the figure holding the wrapping material 114 by using the grappling portion 112, and this position will be referred to as the starting position for the purpose of this explanation, even though the system may have any number of different starting positions.
  • the robot arm 110 will extend through the eye 154 of the coil 150, by moving the robot arm 110 along the first horizontal axis A1 , in order to pass the wrapping material 114 through the eye 154 of the coil 150 and thereby wrap the inside of the coil 150 with wrapping material 114.
  • the wrapping material will be passed over to the second robot arm 120.
  • the second robot arm 120 will move parallel to the first robot arm 110 along the second horizontal axis A2, but it is also possible that the robot arms move independently of each other.
  • the second robot arm 120 which is still holding the wrapping material 114, will move towards its starting position along the second horizontal axis A2, thereby wrapping the front side of the coil 150.
  • the second robot arm 120 will once again extend outward along the third horizontal axis A3 in order to pass the wrapping material 114 back to the first robot arm 110, thereby wrapping the right side of the coil.
  • the procedure described above only covers one side of the coil 150 in the case the coil 150 is stationary.
  • the coil rotating means 140 are typically rotating during the whole procedure described above, which will enable the whole coil 150 to be covered with wrapping material 114.
  • the coil is slowly rotating the whole time, while in other implementations the coil rotating means 140 may be adapted to rotate the coil a predetermined amount after each repetition of a cycle as described above. It will be understood that the above cycle has to be reiterated multiple times in order to cover the entire coil 150 with wrapping material 114.
  • the robot arms of the present disclosure are typically pneumatically, mechanically or electrically driven, but it will be understood that other driving mechanisms are possible.
