An up-ender can be used in many applications and is one of the great alternatives to a weld positioner. Typically, they are used in servicing injection moulds for laying the mould down.
It can also be used in upending coils to enable handling via a c-hook through any coil ID. The primary function of such up-ender is to upend or down-end any load to a 90⁰ angle.
Industries that use any 90⁰ Up-ender
An up-ender is usually used for safely rotating a load to 90⁰.
They are used in many different industries including:
- Automotive
- Manufacturing
- Die Splitter w/180⁰ rotation
- Coil handling
- Injection Mould Maintenance
- Forging applications
- Industry dealing with steel or aluminium
Top Industries, who is known for designing a pallet inverter or pallet upender can also design a suitable upender for your specific needs.
Options for flexibility of any hydraulic up-enders
- A broad range of load configurations can be handled by hydraulic up-ender platforms, including long loads like paper rolls or other loads whose length is noticeably longer than their width or diameter.
- Many industrial applications need tilting, which is an existing option for hydraulic up-enders.
- Many different types of conveyor decks are accessible to accommodate specific loads.
- Traveling up-enders are equipped with wheels for any rail travel or mobile use.
- Few up-enders can be modified to use in most systems having an automatic operation.
- One platform on a certain hydraulic up-ender may be much smaller than the other, thus making these up-enders appropriate for loads that can be larger in one dimension.
- These coil up-enders can handle more than one coil.
Safety features
- Factory-set pressure relief values.
- Maintenance lockout pins.
- Guarding and warning labels to comply with industry standards.
Mechanical up-ender features
An electric-powered gear motor installed in the base frame is used by non-hydraulic systems. This gear moves the 3/4-round cradle on four sturdy rollers made of machined steel by either a single or twin chain sprocket.
The following are the mechanical up-ender features:
Functions
- Floor mounted having capacities up to 100,000 lbs.
- Variety of options
Operations
- Push-button controls on a certain angle top pedestal
- Single or double chain drives based on the load centre of gravity
Safety
- Maintenance locks
- Reinforced welded steel construction having solid steel bottom plate
Benefits of mechanical up-enders
1. Safety
Numerous material handling applications will profit greatly from mechanical coil positioners. Perhaps the most significant advantage is safety: up-enders lessen the risk of injuries associated with handling big goods by decreasing the requirement for human interaction.
There will be fewer workplace accidents, which will reduce the possibility of liability issues as well as expensive employee absenteeism and workers’ compensation claims.
2. Increase in productivity
Mechanical up-enders will also boost performance and effectiveness when handling material. You will be able to do tasks faster than with other equipment or manual labour by eliminating tedious processes.
Mechanical up-enders will speed up your workflows so you can get loads out the door and give your clientele greater service.
