High Safety Durable Automatic Chain Type Flipping Equipment for Steel Structure

1. Purpose of BOX Beam Chain Type Manipulator Machine:

1) Usage: The BOX Beam Chain Manipulator Overturning Machine of this product section, is for smooth flipping structure members of basic square cross section within the scope of 0° ~ 360°:

2) Test on performance of equipment at Wuxi JACK workshop, by flipping a piece of long BOX Beam: (Fig.1)

3) BOX Beam Rotation: The flipping operation of its Chain type Manipulator can be implemented with in both directions, forward (Clockwise) versus reverse (Counterclockwise) and stopped at any position of angle;

4) This BOX Beam Chain type Manipulator is applicable for position and orientation change during welding operation of large and heavy workpieces.

2. Main Units of BOX Beam Chain Manipulator Turnover Machine:

Composition: This Chain Manipulator Turnover Machine has the main units of:

1) Mechanical main frame;

2) Rocking arms and its revolving shafts;

3) High intensity durable roller chains;

4) Driving unit of motor reducer;

5) Electric control system and operating pendant:

As shown in the above photo:

1) The mechanical main body of the equipment is inversed “U” shape, which holds the entire weight of the machine, and withstand the impact force generated from workpiece flipping. The mechanical main frame is welded and assembled into shape with welding structure members, and strengthened with numbers of stiffeners at its bottom;

2) Manipulator: There are 2 pieces of rocking arms being installed at the top sections of both sides of the machine body, which swings along its revolving shafts. These rock arms play the role of manipulator arm, which swings the workpiece by means of roller chains. This is the equipment name “Chain Manipulator Overturning Machine” get from;

3) Roller Chains: This is critical component of the Chain Manipulator Turnover Machine. It has very high strength and intensity, promising high safety of the machine operation. These roller chains form a closed circular loop inside the inversed “U” shape machine body, and encircled around several revolving shafts (Which can be identified from outside, especially in not painted condition) along its passage. With the running of rollers chains, the workpiece is flipped freely and flexibly, in this Chain Manipulator Flipping Machine;

4) Workpiece Rotation Drive: The roller chains are driven with motor reducers. The motor reducers are fit at bottom section of the inversed “U” shape mechanical main body;

5) Equipment Configuration: For one group of this Chain Manipulator Turnover Machine effectively running at customer site, there are 2 sets of Chain type Manipulator running in pair. Please check attached picture and below:

2 sets of Chain type Manipulator are arranged into an integral and detachable equipment for BOX Beam flipping: (Fig.3)

6) Operation: Same as other chain type and hard rack style steel structure flipping equipment, this equipment is operated in remote control, which has consistent and stable operation.
