When choosing a roll material flipping machine model, the production scenario requirements are the core adaptation dimensions - the process goals, efficiency requirements, space limitations, and differences in supporting equipment in different scenarios directly determine the functional type, structural design, and performance parameters of the flipping machine. Starting from the "core scenario dimension", this article provides a detailed analysis of the specific requirements for flipping machine models in different scenarios to help accurately match needs

Dividing scenes based on 'core process objectives': determining the' action essence 'of the flipping machine

Different processes have completely different requirements for the "flipping angle, accuracy, and stability" of the flipping machine, which is the primary basis for model selection.

Scenario 1: Warehousing/Transportation Scenario

Typical scenario: Steel coils are transferred from "vertical shelves" in the warehouse to "flat transport carts", and paper rolls are transferred from "horizontal storage" to "vertical loading".

Core requirement: Only need to complete "90 ° fixed angle flipping", with low flipping speed requirements, but need to ensure "overload stability".

Suitable flipping machine model:

Structure: Choose the "floor standing fixed frame type" and prioritize the "saddle type" or "core axis positioning type" for support.

Performance: A safety margin of at least 20% must be reserved for the rated load, with a flipping angle error of ≤± 1 ° and a flipping speed controlled at 10-15 °/s.

Scenario 2: Connection scenario of processing production line

Typical scenario: After the automotive steel sheet coil is output from the "unWinding Machine", it needs to be flipped 180 ° to switch between the front and back sides for coating processing; In the film production line, the coil needs to be flipped 90 ° and then connected to the slitting machine.

Core requirement: ① Synchronization between flipping speed and production line rhythm; ② The position of the rolled material is precise after flipping; ③ Support continuous start stop.

Suitable flipping machine model:

Drive: Select "servo motor drive+precision reducer", the flipping speed can reach 20-30 °/s, and the speed can be adjusted by frequency conversion.

Control: It needs to be equipped with a "PLC linkage interface" and an "angle encoder".

Structure: If the production line space is compact, choose the "side mounted" or "embedded" model.

Scenario 3: Precision Inspection/Rework Scenario

Typical scenarios: Printing rolls need to be flipped 180 ° to check the printing quality on the back, repairing surface defects after flipping lithium battery electrode rolls, and avoiding wrinkles when flipping soft plastic films.

Core requirement: ① The flipping process should be "impact free and friction free"; ② After flipping 180 degrees, there is no offset in the coil material; ③ Support 'incremental adjustment'.

Suitable flipping machine model:

Clamping: Choose a "flexible clamping mechanism", such as a wrapped rubber pad or pneumatic suction cup, to avoid scratches caused by hard contact; The clamping force can be adjusted.

Action: Select the "Dual axis linkage flipping frame", support "segmented flipping", equipped with a "manual operation panel".

Scenario division based on "production efficiency and batch size": determining the "speed and automation level" of the flipping machine

Efficiency requirements are directly related to the driving power and control logic of the flipping machine, avoiding "overusing" or "insufficient production capacity".

Scenario 1: Small batch/intermittent operations

Typical features: The number of flips per day is ≤ 50, the specifications of the coil are varied, and there is a high degree of manual intervention.

Core requirements: Low equipment cost, simple operation, and easy adjustment.

Suitable flipping machine model:

Type: Select "Manual/Semi Automatic Model" or "Portable Mobile".

Key design: The support spacing and clamping size need to be manually adjustable, without the need for a complex electrical control system, only retaining the basic start stop button.

Scenario 2: Large scale/continuous assignments

Typical features: 24-hour continuous production, requiring 1-2 rolls of coil to be flipped per minute, with fixed coil specifications and unmanned operation.

Core requirements: High speed, high stability, low failure rate, supporting linkage with MES system.

Suitable flipping machine model:

Drive: Select "high-power servo motor+dual drive synchronous structure", equipped with "overload protection module".

Automation: requires "fully automated control", including automatic feeding and positioning, automatic clamping force calculation, and automatic fault alarm.

Maintenance: Select the "Easy to Maintain Design" model.

Dividing scenes based on "space constraints": determining the "structural form and installation method" of the flipping machine

The size and layout density of the workshop directly limit the size and installation form of the flipping machine, which is the key to whether it can be used on the ground.

Scenario 1: Narrow Space/Dense Layout Scenario

Typical features: workshop channel width ≤ 2 meters, small equipment spacing, and the flipping machine needs to complete actions within a fixed area.

Core requirements: Small device size, small operating radius, foldable/retractable.

Suitable flipping machine model:

Structure: Choose "Foldable Flip Frame" or "Vertical Compact".

Installation: Prioritize the "no foundation installation type".

Scenario 2: High space/lifting dependent scenario

Typical features: The workshop floor height is ≥ 5 meters, and the roll material relies on crane handling, requiring the cooperation of flipping machines and cranes to complete "aerial flipping+landing".

Core requirements: The equipment can be lifted, lightweight, or support high height docking.

Suitable flipping machine model:

Type 1: "Lifting type flipping machine", the flipping action is completed in the air, and the weight of the body must be ≤ 80% of the rated lifting capacity of the crane.

Type 2: "Floor standing lifting type", which can lift the coil to a height of 3-5 meters, flip it over and then lower it, suitable for scenarios without a crane but with high shelves.

Scenario classification based on "coil specificity": determining the "protection and adaptation design" of the flipping machine

The rolls in some industries have special characteristics such as "fragility, flammability, and hygiene sensitivity", and require targeted design of flipping machines to avoid damaging the rolls or violating industry standards.

1. Scenario 1: Soft/Fragile Roll Material Scenario

Core risk: The coil material is prone to scratching, wrinkling, and deformation.

Suitable flipping machine model:

Support: Choose "roller support" or "air cushion assistance".

Clamping: Using an "elastic polyurethane cushion layer", the clamping force is controlled by "air pressure".

2. Scenario 2: Clean/Explosion proof Scenario

Core risk: Dust pollution of coils, electrical sparks causing explosions.

Suitable flipping machine model:

Cleanliness level: Select "stainless steel body", sealed transmission mechanism, in compliance with GMP cleanliness level.

Explosion proof level: The motor and electrical control system must comply with explosion-proof standards, and all electrical interfaces must be sealed to prevent spark leakage.

Summary: The "Decision Logic" of Production Scenario Requirements

First set the process goal: is it "warehousing and transportation", "production line connection" or "precision testing"? Lock the flipping angle and accuracy requirements;

Looking at efficiency and batch size again: is it "intermittent small batch" or "continuous large batch"? → Determine the degree of automation and flipping speed;

Final adaptation environment: Is the space narrow? Is the coil special? → Select structural form and protective design.

Through the above logic, it can be ensured that the selected flipping machine not only "can be used", but also "fits the scene, improves efficiency, and reduces risks".
