5000kg L-Type Heavy Duty Turner – Australian Customized Ultra-Heavy Component Handling System

Overview

This case analysis details a 5000kg L-type heavy-duty turning system customized for an Australian heavy manufacturing client.

The solution includes three synchronously controlled L-platform turning machines, specifically designed for 90-degree rotation of ultra-heavy steel components (5000kg), featuring low-profile (500mm) structure and centralized control system.

Basic Parameters

ParameterValue
Single Unit Capacity5000 kg
Platform Specification1600×1200mm L-platform
Turning Angle90 degrees
Equipment Height500mm (low-profile design)
Cylinder ConfigurationΦ140mm×4 units/unit
Power Unit7.5KW/415V/50Hz/3-phase
Platform Thickness8mm
Control MethodOne-control-three centralized
Oil Pipe ConfigurationΦ27mm×4 units/unit

How It Works

The three turning machines are synchronously controlled through a central electrical cabinet.

When a 5000kg steel component is placed on the L-platform, four Φ140mm cylinders driven by a 7.5KW power unit execute precise 90-degree rotation.

The platform can return to horizontal position after operation.

Delixi electrical system ensures coordinated operation of all three units, with 14-meter cables providing sufficient operational radius.

The Challenges

Heavy manufacturing industry faces several challenges in handling ultra-heavy components:

  • 5000kg component turning poses significant safety risks
  • Conventional equipment cannot meet special positioning requirements of L-shaped workpieces
  • Multi-equipment coordination requires precise synchronous control
  • Australia’s 415V voltage specification adds customization complexity
  • Limited installation space demands low-profile equipment design

Solutions

  • Ultra-heavy Capacity: Four Φ140mm cylinders provide sufficient force for safe 5000kg turning
  • L-platform Adaptation: Dedicated platform design perfectly matches customer’s workpiece shape
  • Centralized Control: One electrical cabinet controls three units ensuring operational synchronization
  • International Voltage Adaptation: 415V/50Hz design meets Australian standards
  • Space Optimization: 500mm height design satisfies limited space requirements
  • Maintenance Convenience: Includes spare vulnerable parts (seals and limit switches)
