15-Ton Hydraulic Turning Machine for Cylinder Sleeve Production – 90° Safe Rotation Solution

Project Overview

This 90° hydraulic turning machine delivers precision rotation for 15-ton cylinder sleeves in ship engine production lines. Engineered for pit installation, it features variable-frequency hydraulics achieving 70s±10.5s flipping cycles with instant angle locking. The intelligent system includes:

Operational reliability is ensured in extreme conditions (-10°C to 50°C / 90% RH) through industrial-grade PLC controls and wear-resistant steel construction. Delivered as a turnkey solution within 75 days, the machine complies with 5 national safety standards, including GB 5083, providing failsafe heavy-load handling for automated production environments.

The Challenge

  • 15-ton workpiece risks: Prevent tipping/slipping during rotation
  • Multi-size adaptation: Quick roller adjustment for varying diameters
  • Harsh environment: Reliable operation at -10℃~50℃ & 90% humidity
  • Human-machine safety: Avoid pit falls & crane interference

Solutions

  • Precise Hydraulics: Variable frequency pump + anti-burst valve cylinders
  • Smart Roller System: 4 lead-screw rollers with 10 programmable positions
  • 5-Level Safety:
    • Mechanical stops (0°/90°) + Hydraulic lock + Power-off pressure hold
    • Pressure monitoring on rotating arms + Auto-clamping
    • Interlocked guardrails + Expandable work platform (200kg capacity)
  • Robust Construction:
    • 8mm wear-resistant steel + 10mm polyurethane protection
    • Shot blasting + Custom paint finish

Advantages

  • ✅ High Flexibility: One-touch roller positioning for diverse sleeves
  • ✅ Ultimate Safety: 5-layer protection (mechanical/hydraulic/electrical/structural/interlock)
  • ✅ Premium Durability: Key components from Siemens/YUKEN/Hengyu
  • ✅ Rapid Deployment: 75-day full project cycle
  • ✅ Full Compliance: Meets GB 5083, JBJ18, etc.
