Project Overview

A well-known automobile manufacturing plant in the United States needs to frequently move large stamping dies for the production of body parts. The dies weigh up to 30 tons, are large in size, and require high-precision positioning to ensure smooth operation of the production line. In order to optimize the production process, the factory decided to introduce an overhead crane to improve the efficiency and safety of mold handling.

Project Challenges

The Mold Is Heavy: A 30-ton mold requires an overhead crane with extremely high stability and load capacity.

Space Limitation: The height of the factory workshop is limited, and it is necessary to ensure that the crane can operate flexibly in the limited space.

Precision Positioning Requirements: Mold installation requires millimeter-level accuracy to avoid collision or misalignment affecting production.

Safety And Compliance: It is necessary to comply with the US OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards to ensure safe operation.

Production Efficiency: The original handling method takes a long time, and it is necessary to shorten the mold replacement time and reduce downtime losses.

VOITTO Solution

Customized Overhead Crane: A double-girder overhead traveling crane with a rated load of 40 tons and a span of 22 meters is selected to cover the mold storage area to the stamping production line.

Intelligent Control Optimization: Wireless remote control allows the operator to flexibly control the overhead crane from a safe distance to avoid blind spots.

Design Of Safety Devices: The crane is OSHA certified and equipped with an audible and visual alarm and emergency brake function.

Precise Control: Equipped with frequency conversion and anti-sway systems to achieve smooth lifting and precise positioning, and reduce shaking.
