A cable processing system includes a cable supply unit supplying a cable. A cable coiling unit of the system coils the supplied cable into a cable coil. The coiled cable is bundled by a cable coil binding unit. A cable coil loading unit loads the bundled cable coil, and a cable coil conveying unit conveys the bundled cable coil to the cable coil loading unit.

The device incorporates a mobile station with: a first shaft to support a movable reel and to actuate rotation of the movable reel around the first shaft; a grip for gripping and releasing the movable reel from a first side of the movable reel closest to the first shaft; and a transporter to move the movable reel in the direction of the first shaft between the mobile station and a loading position. The process handles one single reel in each change, reducing labor and simplifying logistical management of reels. Likewise, the reels are handled from one single side, the side closest to the first shaft. Therefore, space is freed up on the other side, providing more available space.

The invention relates to a consumable-material handling device for transporting and/or handling at least one consumable material (12a; 12b), in particular packaging material, comprising at least one at least partially autonomous handling unit (14a; 14b), which is at least provided for handling the consumable material (12a; 12b). According to the invention, the machine tool comprises at least one, in particular at least partially autonomous, mobility unit (16a; 16b), on which the handling unit (14a; 14b) is arranged and which is at least provided for enabling locomotion, in particular at least partially autonomous locomotion, of the handling unit (14a; 14b).

The invention relates to a method and a system for moving and labelling reels (R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, . . . R.sub.n) of a web material such as paper or nonwoven in which each reel has a central core piece (3) which is hollow and around which the web material is wound. A robot arm (6) is inserted into the central core piece (3) of at least one reel (R.sub.1) and is then used to move the (R.sub.1) from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2) and to fix an inner label (15) onto the central core piece (3). According to the invention, the inner label (15) is placed on the robot arm (6) before the robot arm (6) is inserted into the central core piece (3) and the robot arm (6) is used both to fix the inner label (15) to the central core piece (3) and to move the at least one reel (R.sub.1).

A device for moving reels, including at least one supporting upright associable with a transport vehicle, and at least one head for manipulating the reels connected to the support upright; the manipulation head includes at least one first grip member, provided with a first terminal element adapted to grasp the reel at a first opening of its central through hole.

A system for automatic handling and sorting of narrow-slit rolls. Wherein the system is also capable of preventing toppling of the narrow-slit rolls.

The device incorporates a mobile station with: a first shaft (6) to support a movable reel (4) and to actuate rotation of the movable reel (4) around the first shaft (6); gripping means (10) for gripping and releasing the movable reel (4) from a first side of the movable reel (4) closest to the first shaft (6); and transport means (15) to move the movable reel (4) in the direction of the first shaft (6) between the mobile station (1) and a loading position. The process handles one single reel (4) in each change, reducing labor and simplifying logistical management of reels (4). Likewise, the reels (4) are handled from one single side, the side closest to the first shaft (6). Therefore, space is freed up on the other side, providing more available space.

A method for reel changing in automatic machines including: preparing a carriage having a robotic arm including a gripped with a gripper at its free end for retaining a reel; the carriage has a support for the reel and a container for collecting cores of empty reels; positioning the reel on the support defining a predetermined position and memorised by the arm; moving the carriage forward toward a rotating shaft in a position allowing movement of the arm towards the shaft; reading a code on the shaft by a reading device on the arm; sending a signal by the reading device corresponding to the reading of the code to a processing unit with memorisation of the position of the shaft; picking up of an empty core from the rotating shaft and releasing the core in the container; picking up the reel; inserting the reel in the rotating shaft.
