Single Girder Overhead Cranes with lifting capacity from 1 ton to 20 ton are widely adopted to improve your working efficiency and help to make the best use of your space and save your investment on plant construction due to the features of light weight and small wheel pressure, easy installation and operation, etc. Single girder overhead cranes with process crane designs are available to meet your particular automobile industrial application.

Heavy duty double girder overhead cranes with configurations of hoist trolley crane or open winch cranes are frequently used in stamping workshops and press working of the automobile factory and plants for handling loads with weight above 32 ton. Process cranes for your specific industrial applications in press plants operated by the automotive industry.The process overhead travelling crane system can ensure that the required tools are stored and supplied to the press lines timely and safely.

Double girder overhead crane with duel hoists are most widely selected when mold overturning is required during die maintenance. When the molds are required to be turned over, double hoist cranes enable the wire rope be turned at certain angle, which is defined by the wire rope length and space between two hooks.

Die handling cranes and how to ensure precisie handling

Die handling cranes, also known as die transfer cranes or die handling overhead cranes, are specialized lifting equipment used to handle heavy dies in various manufacturing processes. These cranes are commonly found in industries such as automotive, aerospace, metalworking, and plastic manufacturing, where large and heavy dies need to be moved between workstations, storage areas, and production machines.

To ensure precision handling of dies, several factors need to be considered:

• Design and Capacity Die handling cranes should be designed with the specific die dimensions and weight in mind. The crane's capacity should exceed the weight of the heaviest die to be handled to ensure safe and efficient lifting.
• Hoist and Lifting Mechanism The crane's hoist and lifting mechanism should provide smooth and controlled movements. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) can help achieve precise lifting and lowering speeds, reducing the risk of sudden movements that could damage the dies.
• Load Balancing Proper load balancing is crucial to ensure that the weight of the die is evenly distributed on the crane's lifting mechanism. Imbalanced loads can cause instability and potentially lead to accidents or damage to the dies.
• Control Systems Advanced control systems, such as radio remote controls or pendant controls with fine speed adjustments, allow operators to have precise control over the crane's movements. This enables the crane to handle dies with accuracy, especially in tight spaces.
• Safety Features Die handling cranes should be equipped with safety features, including limit switches and overload protection systems. Limit switches prevent the crane from overtraveling, while overload protection prevents the crane from lifting loads beyond its capacity, ensuring safe operations.
• Specialized Lifting Attachments The use of specialized lifting attachments, such as die lifters or custom-designed lifting devices, can improve precision handling. These attachments securely hold the dies during lifting and transfer operations, reducing the risk of unintended movements or damage.
• Operator Training Proper training of crane operators is essential for precision handling. Operators should be familiar with the crane's controls, safety features, and proper procedures for lifting and transferring dies.
• Regular Maintenance Regular maintenance and inspections of the crane are essential to ensure that it operates smoothly and accurately. Any signs of wear, malfunction, or misalignment should be promptly addressed to maintain precision handling.
• Automation and Robotics In some advanced manufacturing settings, automation and robotics can be integrated into die handling processes to achieve even higher levels of precision and efficiency.

By considering these factors and ensuring that the die handling crane is designed, maintained, and operated properly, precision handling of dies can be achieved. This not only improves safety but also contributes to smoother production processes, reducing downtime, and ensuring the longevity of valuable dies used in manufacturing.
