OptiCart Stream parent roll cart with integrated gates has a completely automated parent roll loading and unloading, removing the need for an overhead crane in these operations.
OptiCart Stream picks up the parent roll from the reel and transfers it to the wanted destination, either the winder, off-machine coater or off-machine calender. At all times, the parent roll is in full control.
OptiCart is a safe solution for handling even the heaviest of parent rolls.
Because of the complete loading and unloading system, OptiCart Stream is very flexible in layout planning. In other words, there is only one set of transfer gates regardless of the number of loading stations. There is no need for complicated transfer devices and gates for extra storing places.
Smooth driving is characteristics to the whole OptiCart parent roll cart family because of eight highly durable, heavy-duty wheels.
Automatic and accurate positioning is due to number of function. For one, OptiCart has controls on both frame and remote, and data cell for changing information. Frequency converter controlled gear motor and chain drive delivers an accurate drive mode. Additionally, all the movements electric and a positioning pin firmly positions the cart before loading or unloading the parent roll.
OptiCart is fully pre-tested which ensures a ‘plug-and-play’ start up. The cart functions as an independent system. It requires only a few locking information from the surrounding systems. Parent roll movement is synchronized with driving equipment at both ends. This prevents jamming of parent rolls in case of worn reel spools.
OptiCart Stream is very steady construction-wise with its eight casted wheels. The rail with is optimized for stable but agile operation. The electricity feed is reliable even for long distances.
From start to finish, all the OptiCart Stream movements are controlled. There is no lifting of full parent rolls because of the complete loading and unloading system.
There are a number of safety features including safety bumpers, sliding safety fences, emergency trip wires, and safety colored areas. Cable groove ensures that electric cable stays unharmed. Loading and unloading will be started only when positioning pin is firmly in its counterpart.
