Wuxi JACK Steel Structure Overturning Equipment, Making Smooth Material Flow in Automatic Production Line!

1. Why We Need Steel Structure Overturning Equipment, and its Role in Production:

1) Definition: Steel Structure Overturning Equipment, or Steel Structure Flipping Equipment, is logistics unit and manipulator in the process route of Steel Structure production;
2) Task: As we know, the manufacture of various types of steel structure members, including H Beam, BOX Beam, T Beam, Pipe, Special Shape Structure Member... involve actions of workpiece Overturning/ Conveying/ Hoist and Fall all the while;
3) Necessity: Due to the large size and heavy weight of these workpieces, together with the degree of heat accumulated on the surface of workpieces post welding, it is necessary to use Steel Structure Overturning Equipment for completing position change jobs;
4) Role: In any of the modern automatic stream flow Steel Structure Production Line, be it H Beam Production Line, or BOX Beam Production Line, or T Beam Production Line, you can always find the busy working of different kinds of Steel Structure Overturning Equipment. They play the role of joints in production line, making the material flow and WIP (Work in Process) flow realized in controllable, orderly, and highly efficient manner;

2. The Advantage of Steel Structure Flipping Equipment:

3. The Two Main Types of Structure Overturning Equipment:

1) In practical application, Steel Structure Flipping Equipment can be divided into two branches of Steel Structure Overturning Rack and Steel Structure Chain Manipulator;
2) The difference between the Two Types is obvious: Steel Structure Overturning Rack utilizes mechanical hard racks, while Steel Structure Chain Manipulator adopts soft and flexible roller chains, to support and manipulate workpiece respectively.

No matter 60°/ 90° / 180° Steel Structure Overturning Rack, one set of the such Steel Structure Overturning Equipment consists of:

1. Base Bed and Traveling Wheels: A set of mechanical long box structure with strong strength, either stationary or equipped with traveling wheels;
2. Swing L Arm: This is the core working element of the Steel Structure Flipping Equipment, serving as manipulator for holding and overturning workpieces during operation. In one set of the Steel Structure Overturning Equipment, there are 2 pieces of L arm;
3. Swing Shaft: L arm swings round the shaft;
4. Oil Cylinder: This is overturning power source for rotating of L arm and steel structure;
5. Motor: This is adopted in moving type Steel Structure Overturning Equipment, for the purpose of driving the entire equipment.

2. Technical Parameters of 60° Stationary Steel Structure Overturning Equipment:

1. Outline on 90° Stationary Steel Structure Flipping Equipment:

1 ) 90° Stationary Steel Structure Flipping Equipment is

applied in steel structure assembling area, for changing

orientation of workpieces to another seam, for fitting up

and tack welding. 3 sets of the equipment work as a group

 in any of the work station.

2. Technical Parameters of 90° Stationary Steel Structure Flipping Equipment:

1. Outline on 180° Moving type Steel Structure Overturning Equipment:

180° Moving type Steel Structure Overturning Rack is used for flipping workpiece to the opposite side, and sending the workpiece to next work station for fabrication. It can be equipped at straightening area, as well as among different process steps. 2 sets of the 180° Steel Structure Overturning Equipment work simultaneously.
 

2. Technical Parameters of 180° Moving type Steel Structure Overturning Rack:

1. Usage of 150Ton Steel Plate Overturning Equipment:

1) In large scale and heavy duty construction sites, such as those of Bridge Industry and Port Machinery Industry, sometimes the raw materials of big dimension and heavy weight steel plates need to be flipped, for fabricating on the opposite side;
2) The 150Ton Steel Plate Overturning Equipment is for this purpose. The max. weight of steel plate that can be flipped is up to 150Ton.
 

2. Technical Parameters of 150Ton Steel Plate Overturning Equipment:

1. Outline on Operation of Steel Conveyor:

1) Oil cylinder lifting Steel Conveyor is used for transporting large steel structure members among different working stations, in heavy duty automatic Steel Structure (H Beam/ BOX Beam) Production Line;
2) Steel Conveyor has capability of raising up, lowering down, and conveying bulky steel structure members among operating stations.
