Rotary manipulator for roller transport

The roller transport manipulator is based on a dual-girder overhead crane design, equipped with a rotary lifting beam mounted on rigid pivoting chains, ensuring stable lifting and lowering of the load. An additional enhancement is the semi-automatic operation system, which allows the device to be programmed with specific movement sequences and to stop at precisely defined positions.

FEATURES OF THE ROTARY MANIPULATOR FOR ROLLER TRANSPORT

• the system is based on a dual-girder overhead crane designm,
• the device is equipped with a rotary grab (lifting beam) permanently mounted on a trolley,
• the grab is mounted using rigid telescopic guides,
• the grab features two pairs of grabbing arms, selected based on the current technological process,
• the system allows for smooth adjustment of the grabbing arm spacing, enabling the transport of rollers of varying widths,
• adjustment of the roller axis position – either along the crane’s girders or perpendicular to them – is achieved mechanically via the rotation of the lifting beam,
• vertical movement is facilitated by a hoist and guiding columns,
• the entire process is controlled remotely via a radio system,
• the system can be customized to various size configurations.

BENEFITS OF USING THE SYSTEM

• increased efficiency in transport processes,
• effective grabbing and stable movement of the load, both vertically and horizontally,
• enhanced precision in load positioning,
• automation of the process within specified ranges,
• improved work safety.

APPLICATION

• transport of drums with foil,
• handling of longitudinal-shaped loads and specific standardized elements, such as shafts, drums, rollers, and cylinders.
