CR Series · Small-coil handling

CR Light Duty Decoiler & Uncoiler

One compact reel. Two applications.

Pay out a small coil before stamping, or rewind continuous strip after processing. The HENLI CR is a compact motorized stock reel for light, narrow strip and practical press-line layouts.

Both CR models handle coils up to 100 kg (220.5 lb). Choose the support design, strip width and coil dimensions that suit your material, then configure the loop control for uncoiling or take-up.

Inlet · Payoff reel

Unwind small coil stock.

Place the CR before the feeder or straightener to release material for the downstream process. Its separate sensing stand monitors the material loop; the control arrangement is matched to the material and line.

Outlet · Strip rewinder

Collect continuous strip.

Use the CR as a light-duty recoiler for connected strip after processing, including suitable punched skeleton scrap. The collection application requires the strip to remain continuous and capable of being wound.

U.S. customary values are approximate conversions. Confirm the actual coil dimensions, material thickness, line speed and sensing method for your application. Special coil dimensions or load requirements are reviewed separately.

Power supply & voltage options

220 V configuration

A 220 V version with variable-frequency drive (VFD) speed control is available.

380 V configuration

A 380 V version is also available. Operation without VFD speed control is recommended for this supply. If VFD speed control is required with 380 V, a transformer is needed to adapt the voltage.

Customer-specific voltage

We can adapt the machine to your local supply voltage using a transformer, at an additional charge. Provide the voltage, phase, frequency and speed-control requirement for a quotation.

Equipment details

Compact support. Adjustable coil setup.

An upright support column carries the horizontal coil shaft. CR-100 uses manually adjustable coil supports; CR-200 uses hand-crank expansion with three support segments. The motor and reducer drive the reel, and a separate stand senses the strip loop.

Coil support adjustment

Match the support position to the coil ID and strip width before operation.

Motorized rotation

The motor and reducer drive the reel for the selected material-flow application.

Separate loop sensing

Position and configure the sensing stand to suit the material and production line.

Application matching

Select the reel around the material.

Light-gauge strip, small coils and compact floor layouts are useful starting points. The complete coil and process data determine whether CR is the right fit.

Coil and strip

Material, thickness, strip width, maximum coil weight, inner diameter and outer diameter.

Direction and line

Payoff or take-up, downstream equipment, line speed, feed cycle and available installation space.

Control and collection

Supply voltage, phase, frequency, VFD requirement and sensing method; for rewinding, include a sample or video of the continuous outlet strip.

FAQ

Names, functions and model selection.

Different suppliers use different names for coil-handling equipment. The material flow and the coil data make the choice clear.

Is a decoiler the same as an uncoiler?

For this application, yes. Both describe a reel that unwinds coil stock into a production line. The equipment may also be called a stock reel, coil reel or payoff reel. The CR is a small motorized version for light-duty coil handling.

Can the CR also work as a recoiler or rewinder?

Yes. The CR can be configured for take-up, winding continuous strip after a process. Recoiler, rewinder and take-up reel describe this collection function. Match the support arrangement and control setup to the intended use.

Can one CR perform payoff and take-up at the same time?

One reel serves one position in the line. When the process requires uncoiling at the inlet and rewinding at the outlet at the same time, use a separate reel at each end, as shown in the application examples.

What kind of stamping scrap can it collect?

The take-up application is for connected strip that remains capable of being wound, such as suitable punched skeleton scrap. Loose pieces and disconnected offcuts need a different collection method. Send a sample or outlet video for application review.

Is this a manual decoiler or a powered stock reel?

The CR shown here is motorized. Coil setup and support adjustment are separate from powered reel rotation. HENLI also offers a manual decoiler range for applications that need a non-powered stock reel.

How do I choose CR-100 or CR-200?

Both CR-100 and CR-200 are rated for a maximum coil weight of 100 kg (220.5 lb). CR-100 accepts strip up to 180 mm (7.09 in) wide with manually adjustable coil supports; CR-200 accepts up to 170 mm (6.69 in) with hand-crank expansion and three support segments. Compare the coil ID and OD ranges in the table and provide your material and line requirements.

Can the CR use 380 V or my local supply voltage?

A 220 V version with VFD speed control is available. For a 380 V supply, operation without VFD speed control is recommended. If VFD speed control is required with 380 V, a transformer is needed. Customer-specific local voltage configurations use a transformer and cost extra. Provide your voltage, phase, frequency and speed-control requirement for a quotation.

Does the CR replace a straightener or an NC feeder?

No. It handles coil support and material payoff or collection. A separate straightener is used when the process requires coil-set removal; an NC servo feeder controls the advance into the press.

Can it handle non-metal strip or special coil sizes?

Provide the material, coil dimensions and required operation for review. Non-conductive materials may need a different sensing method. Coil ID, OD and load capacity can be customized after confirming the application.
