• Workflow Optimization: Ensures that multiple (up to 8) different types, thicknesses, or colors of material are stored in close proximity to the cutting line.

• Quick Material Changeover: Significantly reduces the time required to change a coil, as the operator only needs to manually move and secure the desired strip.

• Cost Savings: It is a profitable alternative to fully automated multi-coil systems, while maintaining a high level of production organization.

• Typical Application: Ideal for job shops that frequently change materials (e.g., different colors or thicknesses of galvanized steel, aluminum, copper) when manufacturing elements for construction and HVAC.

• Maximum Number of Coils: Capability for connecting and quickly accessing up to $8\text{ different coils}$.

• Manual Control: Selection and feeding of the desired metal strip into the next machine (e.g., leveling device or shears) is done manually using a handwheel or another mechanical device.

• Simplified Design: The design is maximally simple, reliable, and does not require complex electronic control, which reduces operating costs.

• Placement: Installed directly after the decoiler line, providing a compact solution for working with multiple materials.

• Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with Forstner cutting lines (e.g., nuSLIT, SLIT, COMPACT).

Since the Manual Coil Selector is an auxiliary device, its main parameters are related to the coil dimensions it can handle and the number of connections:
