SHAFT PULLER

It consists in a structure made of construction steel and coated with epoxy paint. It is fixed to the ground and is aligned with the loading cradle.
The axis extractor carries a mandrel (chuck) that easily hooks the expandable axis and that can move as follows :
 - horizontally in order to insert or extract the expandable axis;
 - vertically in order to align up with the expandable axis.
The extractor automatically is able to:
 - Find the centre of the cardboard core
 - Moves towards the reels axis;
 - Extract the expandable axis from the metallized reel;
 - Hold in deposit the expandable axis for the requested time;
 - Insert it into the reel to be metallized.
The pneumatical locking and unlocking operations of the expandable axis are manual.
Adequate mechanical supports hold the shaft once it’s free.
