Abstract :The safe transportation of steel coil sheets within a factory is of vital importance for the machinery manufacturing sector. This study presents the design and finite element analysis of a hydraulic-driven coil tilting machine intended for positioning steel coils weighing up to 10 tons. The machine is designed to position coils both horizontally and vertically to facilitate various production processes. Considering the industry\\\'s demand for positioning a wide range of coil sizes, design criteria were established, and a 3D model was developed. Structural analysis was performed using the finite element method to evaluate the machine\\\'s performance under various loading and operational conditions. The results showed a maximum stress of 125.5 MPa and a maximum displacement of 7.9 mm, demonstrating compliance with the Turkish Machinery Safety Directive. This research contributes to the development of efficient and safe coil handling solutions for the manufacturing industry, potentially enhancing productivity and reducing labor costs.
