Load turning device is used in assembly lines for automobile frames, steel structures, ship engines, molds, and large workpieces, performing the critical task of safely and controllably flipping workpieces from one position to another. When purchasing a load turning device, it's crucial to ensure both safety and reliability while also balancing production line cycle time and long-term costs.
Clarify Purchasing Objectives
● Maximum and minimum workpiece weights
● Workpiece dimensions
● Target turning angle and method
● Operating environment (temperature and humidity, presence of corrosive media, cleanliness level, explosion-proof design, etc.)
● Mounting conditions (mounted on a crane or beam)
● Positioning accuracy
● Whether automatic balancing is required
Key Selection Considerations
● Calculate the maximum turning torque and allow for a sufficient safety factor when selecting.
● Select a belt or chain turning device based on the workpiece.
● If high-precision stopping or line synchronization is required, choose a servo drive + PLC control.
● Confirm the crane's rated tonnage, lifting height, and available hook space for the turning device.
● Check whether it is equipped with overload protection, mechanical emergency locks, and limit switches.
● Check whether it supports 0-360 degree continuous rotation and hovering at any angle.
Factory Inspection and Supplier Evaluation
● Technical Capabilities and Experience: Examine the supplier's proven track record in the industry and whether they can provide customized solutions tailored to specific needs.
● After-Sales Service Network: Inquire about warranty policies, spare parts availability, and whether installation, commissioning, and technical training services are provided.
● Total Cost of Ownership: Consider the equipment's energy consumption, maintenance costs, expected service life, and potential downtime.
