The Balance mode is an optional function that ensures that rolls can be lifted easily and safely from an shaft. When a roll is lifted from a horizontal position of an shaft, the ballast of the roll shifts, from the shaft to the roll handler. Due to the sudden weight, the handler including roll can sink down. This creates an unsafe situation. The balance mode gives a preset back pressure per batch. This keeps the roll in a horizontal balance when it detaches from the shaft, without the handler with roll sinking down. This creates a safe workplace, with the added benefit of improving the efficiency of the lifting process.
