<p>A capstan (10) for handling slitting tools comprises a base (12), a pivoting frame (14), an outer frame (16) and a plurality of shafts (20-36). The pivoting frame (14) is supported by the base (12) for pivotal movement about an axis (64). The outer frame (16) is supported by the pivoting frame (14) for translational movement along the axis. The plurality of shafts extends from the outer frame transversely to the axis. The capstan preferably further includes an axial actuator (150) for translationally moving the outer frame (16) relative to the pivoting frame (14) along the axis (64). This permits an attendant (54) to raise or lower the outer frame, and hence, raise or lower the shafts. By thus raising or lowering the shafts, the attendant can adjust the height of the shafts to a comfortable level for loading or unloading knives and spacers (40) without excessive lifting or bending. <IMAGE></p> |
