<p>A capstan 10 for handling slitting tools comprises a base 12, a pivotin g 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 is supported by the rotating frame for translational movement along the axis. T he plurality of shafts extends from the outer frame transversely to the axis. T he capstan preferably further includes an axial actuator 150 for translating the outer frame 16 relative to the pivoting frame 14 along the axis 64. This permits an attenda nt 54 to raise or lower the outer frame, and, hence, raise or lower the shafts. By th us 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 lifti ng or bending. An optional pusher 180 serves to automatically slide the tools between the capstan 10 and the slitter machine 52.</p> |
