Automatic Material Bin Tipping Overhead Cranes: Precise Positioning and Automatic Discharging
Automatic Material Bin Tipping Overhead Crane is an unmanned lifting system that integrates automatic material handling, precise positioning, anti-sway control, and intelligent tipping functions. It is designed for automatic overturning and fixed-point dumping operations of bins, containers.
The equipment can complete the entire process—from gripping, transporting, to tipping and dumping material bins—without human intervention. It significantly improves working efficiency while ensuring operational safety.
The crane adopts servo drive and rigid telescopic guide column anti-sway design, ensuring high positioning accuracy. The lifting device is equipped with gripping correction and error-tolerant functions, as well as an automatic detection mechanism. It is safe, reliable, and can achieve fully automated and unmanned control throughout the entire process.
Automatic Material Bin Tipping Overhead Crane Highlights
High Reliability Anti-sway Control
The crane adopts a telescopic rigid guide-column mechanical anti-sway structure, effectively reducing material swing during transportation. This improves handling safety and enhances automatic positioning accuracy.
High-precision Automatic Positioning
Positioning sensors such as absolute encoders and laser rangefinders are used to achieve automatic crane positioning. The traveling mechanism is driven by a servo motor and servo drive, ensuring high positioning accuracy and smooth operation. Two laser rangefinders are applied in a redundant design to improve positioning reliability. Real-time deviation correction ensures synchronization of both sides of crane travel, further enhancing positioning precision.
Reliable Wireless Communication
Wireless base stations and wireless APs are used to establish communication between the crane and the dispatching system, eliminating the need for ground-to-crane cabling. The wireless communication system offers easy installation, convenient maintenance, and high reliability.
Data Monitoring and Intelligent Diagnosis
A ground-mounted monitoring screen enables real-time remote monitoring of the crane's operating status, including limit switch conditions, inverter fault information, lifting height, and traveling distance of the trolley and crane. The system also provides fault diagnosis and alarm functions.
Automatic Material Bin Tipping Overhead Crane Functions
The automatic material bin tipping overhead crane can automatically grab and move bins, enabling unmanned and automatic bin tipping to discharge materials from the bin into a designated area.
- Automatic bin gripping: The equipment can precisely grab bins according to preset programs, providing stable and reliable clamping to prevent materials from slipping or shaking during lifting or traveling.
- Transporting bins to designated locations: The crane can automatically travel to the target area according to system commands, achieving precise material transfer and positioning through high-precision positioning technology.
- Unmanned automatic bin tipping: Upon reaching the unloading zone, the equipment automatically performs the bin tipping and dumping action, accurately discharging materials into the target station or container, improving work efficiency while ensuring operator safety.
Automatic Material Bin Tipping Overhead Crane Applications
The automatic material bin tipping overhead crane can be widely used in industries such as metallurgy, steel industry, warehousing, logistics, and mould manufacturing, for automatic overturning and dumping of block or bulk materials, such as metal parts, production scrap, and metal blocks. It is especially suitable for high-frequency turnover, heavy-load handling, and manual dumping operations with potential safety risks.
