Workpiece Turning in Chain Turnover Machine

The lefthand scrolling photos: How does the workpieces get its position change in steel structure Beam Chain Overturn Machine

Working Principle: Put it simply, the elevation and overturning of long and heavy workpieces in Steel Structure Chain Flipping Machine is implemented with the work together of rocking arm (Overturning rack), hoist chain and roller chain:
1. Roller chain comes all the way through rocking arms and hoist chains, and form an enclosed loop, for 0° ~ 360° rotation on workpieces;
2. Elevation Operation: During work, under the drive of oil cylinders, these rocking arms swing up and down, conveying workpiece up and down accordingly, to prescribed height level;
3. Simultaneously Rotation: Meanwhile, roller chains rotate along its enclosed loop, driving workpiece into overturning or tilt, to target angle.
