Core Principle: Stable, Accurate and Fast Four-bar Linkage Transmission

With the classic Whiston four-bar linkage as the core drive structure, combined with a variable frequency motor and a precision brake, it achieves an integrated continuous movement of "lifting - traversing - lowering": When the steel pipe is in place, the mechanism rotates synchronously to lift the pipe off the roller table and accurately transfer it to the target rack/roller table. The single action cycle is as fast as 8 seconds, the positioning error is controlled within ±5mm, and it is suitable for various steel pipe specifications from φ50mm to φ300mm.

Multi-station Series Connection: An Efficiency Tool for Continuous Production Lines

The design in the figure adopts multi-group mechanism series connection, which can be completely synchronized with the production line rhythm: a single group is responsible for transferring one steel pipe, and multi-group linkage can realize "parallel transfer of multiple steel pipes". The maximum daily processing capacity can reach 12,000 pieces (based on 8 seconds per piece cycle), perfectly matching the rhythm of high-frequency welded pipe and seamless pipe continuous production lines.

Industrial-grade Reliability: Safeguarding "Zero Downtime" for Production Lines

Durable Structure: The main body is made of Q355B steel plate welding + overall heat treatment, and the connecting rod bearings are heavy-duty maintenance-free models with a service life of more than 50,000 hours;

Overload Protection: Built-in shear pin type overload protection, which automatically disconnects in case of material jamming to avoid damage to the motor/connecting rod;

Intelligent Adaptation: Supports PLC signal connection, can automatically identify steel pipe specifications, adjust movement stroke, is compatible with manual/automatic dual modes, and can reverse and pull back bent waste pipes under abnormal working conditions.
