Heavy Duty Accurate Docking Material Rail Transfer Cart
Operational Challenges
A large-scale manufacturing workshop faced bottlenecks: high material transfer frequency on production lines necessitated frequent recharging of conventional material handling equipments, disrupting workflow rhythms; demanding high temperature environments imposed stringent stability requirements on equipment; and heavy components required precise docking during assembly.
Solution
A mobile cable powered rail transfer cart, featuring a 4000×2200×700mm box-girder chassis and bespoke design, achieves fully automated end-to-end transfer from processing zones to assembly lines, comprehensively resolving the aforementioned challenges.
The rail transfer cart's core advantage lies in its scenario-adaptive design:
A cable + drag chain + fixed slot system enables 24 hours uninterrupted operation, complemented by high temperature resistant cable assemblies;
Cast steel wheels paired with precision rails ensure operational stability within ±2mm/m. The customized work surface integrates adjustable brackets and a 360° embedded turntable, enabling ±1° precise workpiece rotation via wireless remote control for seamless alignment with production line conveyor rollers.
Application
Operators set transfer paths via 50 meters wireless remote control, with the work surface accommodating dual-process shared transfers. During cylinder block transfer operations, the embedded turntable enables 90° alignment, reducing single-cycle loading/unloading time from 18 to 5 minutes and boosting single-shift output by 150%.
Its environmentally friendly cable power supply achieves zero emissions, cutting energy consumption by 60% compared to conventional forklifts while reducing labour costs by 70%. Suitable for multi-variety material handling in automotive manufacturing, heavy machinery and similar industries, it promotes high precision, flexible production development.
