Heavy Duty Solutions for loading heavyweight components on the testing machine
Precise loading of Rotors on Testing pivot
Handling heavy components poses lot of challenges. Specifically, while loading them precisely on the testing machine. Fine handling has developed specialized Electro-pneumatic manipulators handling such large size components like Rotors (350 kg) or locomotive wheels (500 kg) and their variants.
Challenges
- Handling range of variants of heavy components (32 variants in case of rotors, 3 variants in railway wheels)
- Grip and Lift of the heavy components
- 90-degree orientation change mechanism
- Precise mounting of rotors on testing pivots
Solution and Benefits
- Electro-pneumatic manipulator with lift and tilt function is driven electrically and clamping is done pneumatically
- Innovative gripper with size of 350 mm which grips on the periphery of the rotor to achieve precise mounting
- Eliminated damages to testing machine pivot arising out of the improper mounting
- Easy handling of variant range with one single gripper
- Eliminated risk of injury to the operators
