Product Transfer using Hydraulic Crane Station

Objective:

To understand and designs sequence control for product transfer using Hydraulic Crane
Station.

Introduction:

Figure 2

Hydraulic Crane Station as shown in Figure 2 is designed to provide basic

understanding of the lift crane. This design to portable and compact enable to connect
hydraulic line and electrical wiring.

The press consists of main hydraulic motor, 1:20 ratio gear box, two axis hydraulic
ram as robot arm and limit switch. Vertical hydraulic cylinder on the right with bore size
30mm x Rod size 16mm x 100mm working stroke. Both end with single male clevis. The
function of this cylinder is to lift up the load. Horizontal hydraulic cylinder below with bore
size 30mm x Rod size 16mm x 1500mm working stroke. Both end with single male clevis.
The function of this cylinder is to extend distance to load and unload heavy goods. Hydraulic
motor/Rotary Actuator used to rotate the two axis hydraulic crane arm. The hydraulic crane
able to rotate left and right at maximum 180 degree. The rotating speed can be adjusted
through hydraulic flow control valve. Both sided of 0° and 180° have two mechanical limit
switch. The function is to limit the rotating angle.
