How It Works

The equipment utilizes a hydraulic drive system powered by precision control valves to achieve smooth 90° or 180° turning operations.

Heavy-duty chain transmission ensures stability and safety during the turning process, while photoelectric sensors and mechanical limit devices provide accurate angle control.

Fully automatic models are equipped with PLC control systems, allowing preset turning programs for one-button automated operation.

The Challenges

  • Manual turning of heavy molds and coils poses significant safety risks
  • Traditional lifting equipment cannot achieve precise angle turning and positioning
  • Large workpieces are prone to sliding or tipping during turning
  • Different workpieces require varying turning angles and speeds
  • Production cycle demands require fast and efficient turning solutions

Solutions

  • Safety Assurance: Hydraulic locking system and mechanical anti-tipping devices ensure safe operation
  • Precision Control: Photoelectric sensors and encoders achieve ±0.5° positioning accuracy
  • Versatile Adaptation: Adjustable fixtures and roller designs accommodate different workpiece sizes
  • Efficient Production: Rapid turning cycles meet high-efficiency production requirements
  • Intelligent Operation: PLC control system supports programmed operation and remote monitoring
  • Durability: Quenched key components ensure long-term reliable operation
