System and method for sheet coil packaging

A method for sheet coil packaging, the method comprising:

• rotating a sheet coil using a sheet coil rotating arrangement, to enable the sheet coil to be wrapped;
• wrapping the sheet coil using first and second industrial robots, having first and second robot arms, and a wrapping tool, using sequences of the first robot arm inserting the wrapping tool into a central hole of the sheet coil and handing over the wrapping tool to the second robot arm, and the second robot arm transporting the wrapping tool along the outside of the sheet coil and handing it back to the first robot arm, as the sheet coil is rotated by the sheet coil rotating arrangement;
• and
• feeding out edge protection material along an outer edge of the sheet coil as the sheet coil is rotated by the sheet coil rotating arrangement, using two outer edge protection mounting devices arranged at opposite ends of the sheet coil;
• wherein the wrapping of the sheet coil by the first and second industrial robots takes place in synchronization with the feeding out of the edge protection material, thereby fixing the edge protection material to the outer edges of the sheet coil by the wrapping as the sheet coil is rotated by the sheet coil rotating arrangement.

A system for sheet coil packaging, the system comprising:

• an inner edge protection mounting tool, comprising an edge protection material collecting arrangement, arranged to create a ring of edge protection material and arranging it on an inner edge of a sheet coil, around a central hole of the sheet coil, before the wrapping of the sheet coil;
• a sheet coil rotating arrangement, arranged to rotate the sheet coil to enable it to be wrapped;
• and
• two outer edge protection mounting devices, arranged at opposite ends of the sheet coil to feed out edge protection material along an outer edge of the sheet coil as the sheet coil is rotated by the sheet coil rotating arrangement during wrapping of the sheet coil;
• wherein the edge protection material collecting arrangement is arranged to collect the edge protection material directly from one of the two outer edge protection mounting devices.
