We offer both Single Mandrel Reel Uncoilers and Double Expanding Mandrel Uncoilers. Each uncoiler design offers both manual and automatic features that include centering, coil load and thread up. Uncoiler designs also provide constant tension control in line run mode.
Double Expanding Mandrel (DEM) Uncoilers
Advanced Coil Handling for Accurate Centering and Reliable Feed Control
The DEM Uncoiler features dual expanding uncoiler mandrels that are hydraulic cylinder actuated for expansion/collapse. The mandrel segments are provided with standard urethane pads. Left and right uncoiler housings shift for coil centering via individual hydraulic cylinder actuation with linear absolute encoder electronic position feedback.
Coils can be manually loaded and centered by push button operation or automatically loaded and centered by automatic load and thread-up sequence initiation. The uncoiler is AC servo motor driven for coil jogging, automatic threading and constant tension control during line run. The Uncoiler housings are protected from inadvertent coil lift operation by base mounted spring sensors.
Features
- Dual expanding mandrels with hydraulic expansion and collapse
- Independent hydraulic coil centering for precise positioning
- Linear absolute encoder feedback for accurate mandrel alignment
- Urethane-padded mandrel segments for secure coil handling
- Manual or fully automatic coil loading and centering options
- AC servo motor-driven operation for precise coil control
- Automatic threading capability for streamlined setup
- Constant tension control throughout line operation
- Coil jogging functionality for improved positioning
- Spring sensor protection against inadvertent coil lift operation
- Designed for efficient and reliable high-production processing

Pro Series Reel Single Mandrel Uncoiler
Reliable Coil Unwinding and Feeding for Efficient Production
The PRO Series Reel Uncoiler includes a hydraulic cylinder for expand/retract. Coils are manually loaded and centered by push button operation of the coil cart.
The hold down roll is attached to the uncoiler housing to contain the outer wrap after loading the coil and is driven with the uncoiler during jog and thread functions. The hold down roll is raised during line run.
A low-level laser sensor is utilized for initial coil OD measurement. The reel uncoiler has an AC back-tension drive for coil jogging, threading, and constant tension control in line run—a drag brake is not utilized. The reel uncoiler mandrel rotation is gear driven. A spring-set/air-release brake prevents coil rotation when power to the drive is off.
Features
- Automatic coil unwinding and material feeding
- Single-mandrel design for efficient coil handling
- Consistent material delivery to downstream equipment
- Compact footprint for flexible line integration
- Durable construction for demanding production environments
- Supports high-speed processing operations
- Precise coil control for improved line performance
- Designed for reliable, continuous operation
- Easy integration with press feed and coil processing systems
- Low-maintenance design for long-term productivity
