8-Ton Heavy Component Turning Machine – Precision Turning Equipment for Gear Manufacturing

Overview

This case analysis details an 8-ton heavy-duty turning machine.

Specifically designed for precision processing of heavy components like electric wheels, it addresses the challenge of multi-angle positioning for large gear-type parts during machining through an innovative U-groove platform and multi-tooling system.

Basic Parameters

ParameterValue/Description
Rated Load8000 kg
Platform Size2000*2000+2000*2000mm
Turning Angle90 degrees
Turning Speed<50 seconds/cycle
Drive Power3KW SEW brand reducer motor
Main Frame MaterialJ200*100*6 steel section
Platform Thickness8mm
Chain Specification20A-2
Control SystemSchneider electric components

How It Works

The equipment utilizes a motor reducer-driven chain transmission system to achieve precise 90-degree platform rotation.

One platform features custom U-grooves and T-slots, while the other is equipped with removable V-grooves and tensioning devices to accommodate different workpiece specifications.

Operators control the system through an external handheld button box with jog control functionality.

The Challenges

  • Large components like electric wheels pose safety risks during manual turning
  • Conventional turning equipment cannot meet precision positioning requirements
  • Different specifications require varied clamping and fixing methods
  • Manufacturing processes require multiple turns and precise positioning
  • Equipment mobility and adjustment difficulties affect workshop layout flexibility

Solutions

  • Precision Positioning: U-groove + T-slot + V-groove multi-tooling design ensures workpiece stability
  • Safe Operation: SEW drive system with Schneider electrical control ensures operational reliability
  • Efficient Turning: 90-degree rotation within 50 seconds improves production efficiency
  • Mobile Design: Forklift slots in base facilitate equipment repositioning
  • Versatile Adaptation: Removable V-grooves and tensioners accommodate different workpiece needs
  • Safety Assurance: 8-ton locking strap with self-locking function ensures operational safety
