Cantilever crane manipulator (also called cantilever crane or jib crane) is a material handling equipment that combines cantilever structure and manipulator functions. It is widely used in workshops, warehouses, production lines and other occasions.
Its core features are as follows:
1. Flexible structure and wide coverage
Cantilever design: The single-arm or multi-arm structure is fixed by a column, which can provide a rotation range of 180°~360°, covering a circular or fan-shaped working area.
Space saving: No need to lay ground tracks, suitable for places with limited space (such as corners and equipment-intensive areas).
2. Load capacity and adaptability
Medium and light loads: Usually the load range is 0.5~5 tons (heavy industrial models can reach more than 10 tons), suitable for handling small and medium-sized workpieces, molds, tools, etc.
Modular design: Cantilevers of different lengths (commonly 3~10 meters) or reinforced structures can be selected according to needs.
3. Efficient and accurate handling
Flexible end of the manipulator: can be equipped with end effectors such as vacuum suction cups, pneumatic grippers, hooks, etc. to achieve functions such as grabbing, flipping, and positioning.
Manual/electric operation: manual models rely on human power, and electric models are equipped with motors and remote controls to achieve precise control (such as variable frequency speed regulation).
4. Safe and reliable
Strong stability: the column is usually fixed by anchor bolts or flanges, and the cantilever is made of steel structure or aluminum alloy (lightweight).
Safety device: optional limit switch, overload protection, emergency brake, etc. to prevent collision or overload.
5. Wide range of application scenarios
Production line: used for material transfer between workstations (such as automobile assembly, loading and unloading of machine tools).
Warehousing and logistics: handling boxes, packaging, etc.
Repair and maintenance: assist in the overhaul of heavy equipment (such as engine hoisting).
Selection suggestions
Light handling: optional aluminum alloy cantilever + manual rotation.
Heavy precision operation: requires electric drive + steel structure reinforcement + anti-sway function.
Special environment: anti-corrosion (stainless steel) or explosion-proof design (such as chemical workshop)
By combining the characteristics of lifting and manipulators, the cantilever crane manipulator provides an efficient and economical solution in local material handling, especially suitable for scenarios that require frequent and precise operations.
