Designed and produced to meet the customers specific needs the Side and Forward Rotation Clamp Attachment has been produced to lift reels of packaging material from storage and position on the companies production machinery.
The Reels needed to be lifted by gripping the outside diameter leaving the reels core free and then presented to the machines mandrel in a position that was horizontal and forward facing.
To facilitate this attachment was designed with rotating gripper pad assembles as part of the Clamping mechanism.
This meant that once the reel had been securely clamped and lifted clear from storage the gripper pad assembly could be swivelled by releasing the index pin and the reel rotated forward through 90° to the preset stop.
Once fully rotated the Index pin is re-engaged to secure the assembly in position.
The Clamp design also enables the attachment to rotate sideways through 360°
