Among various industries, the booming development of the automobile industry has brought new development opportunities to the crane industry. In the process of supplying various types of cranes to the world, Dongqi Cần Cẩu continues to contact customers in the automotive industry and achieve win-win cooperation. We are deeply aware that if we do not develop, we will fall behind. In order to train ourselves and for our customers to better understand the crane industry, we need to conduct a comprehensive understanding and analysis of the role of cranes in the automotive industry. In the automotive industry, cranes of all types are currently used mainly for material handling, intralogistics and specific assembly tasks. The following are some specific application scenarios: Stamping workshop: The crane is mainly used for lifting steel coils and lifting and turning stamping dies. These cranes usually have the characteristics of high working level, fast running speed, smooth lifting, precise positioning, safety and reliability.

  • Accessory Suppliers: Cranes and electric hoists can be used to lift and transport a variety of items, such as steel coils, in the factories of automotive industry accessory suppliers, as well as to provide support in the manufacturing of automotive body parts.
  • Warehouse Storage: Cranes are used for stacking and transferring goods in warehouses, especially when heavy goods need to be handled.
  • Logistics industry: In freight centers, bridge cranes are used for loading and unloading of containers and bulk cargo.
  • Production lines: On production lines in automobile manufacturing plants, overhead cranes can be used to move parts and assemble vehicles.

Equipment for Automotive Industry

Application of cranes in automobile factories In the automotive industry, the types of cranes required will vary according to different work requirements. However, when we analyzed the overall needs of our customers, we noticed that no matter what type of crane, in order to ensure the performance required by the automotive industry Work efficiency needs to meet some specific requirements. Here is a detailed summary of our requirements:

  • Stability: Cranes need to have a high degree of stability to ensure safety and accuracy during operation. Due to the varying weights and shapes of automobile parts, the crane needs to have sufficient load-bearing capacity and precise control capabilities to prevent damage to items or personal injury.
  • Precision requirements: In the automobile manufacturing process, cranes need to have high-precision positioning and handling capabilities to ensure that parts can reach the designated location accurately and quickly. This precision requirement is crucial to improve production efficiency and product quality.
  • Efficiency: The automotive industry is a high-efficiency, mass-production industry, so cranes need to have efficient working capabilities to adapt to the rapid production pace. The crane should have high lifting speed, slewing speed and traveling speed to reduce production dead time.
  • Reliability: The automobile manufacturing process requires continuous and stable production, so the crane must have extremely high reliability and durability. This requires the selection of high-quality component materials, advanced technology and strict production processes to ensure the long-term stable operation of the crane.
  • Intelligence: With the development of industrial automation and intelligence, cranes also need to have intelligent functions. This includes functions such as automatic control, remote monitoring, fault diagnosis and early warning to improve production efficiency and safety.
  • Environmental protection and energy saving: The automotive industry has increasingly higher requirements for environmental protection and energy saving, so cranes should also have environmental protection and energy saving characteristics. This includes the use of low-energy motors and control systems, as well as measures to reduce noise and vibration.

In order to ensure the efficiency of each work link, we need to determine which type of crane to use based on the working conditions. Based on our many years of experience working with customers, we can roughly summarize the following points:

  • The application of gantry cranes in the automotive industry: The application of gantry cranes in automotive manufacturing mainly involves lifting car parts and replacing molds in various workshops. Due to the limited space of automotive manufacturers, the weight of gantry cranes should be reduced to reduce basic construction costs, and design and application should be based on different workshop conditions.
  • The application of overhead cranes in automobile manufacturing: On automobile assembly lines, overhead cranes can be used to move and lift automobile components, such as engines, transmissions, axles, etc., to assist in the assembly process of automobiles. In addition, overhead cranes can also be used for handling and stacking car parts, as well as lifting equipment during car maintenance and repair processes.
  • The application of workstation cranes in automobile manufacturing: Workstation cranes usually use electric hoists as lifting mechanisms, which have the characteristics of simple structure, convenient operation, and flexible movement. In automobile manufacturing, workstation cranes can be customized according to different production needs, such as adding different fixtures and fixtures to meet different production requirements.

    Crane in Automobile Industry

    There are no solutions or products made specially for the automotive sector

    Although the automotive industry has long been considered a major user of lifting equipment, there are almost no professional, customized lifting solutions in the automotive and truck manufacturing fields. Ready made designs may seem sufficient - but they must be the highest among high-end ready-made products.

    For Dongqi Crane, given the modular design principle of our lifting equipment, we can use chain electric hoists or wire rope hoists to meet the application needs of most automotive customers. In the field of small components in the automotive industry, cranes themselves are quite standard for manipulating engine blocks, cylinder heads, etc.

    "People's interest lies more in what is underneath the hook. This is where specialization occurs. The intelligent technology of large stamping workshop cranes lies in anti roll control and other technologies, which is far from unique to the automotive industry."

    Nevertheless, the industry does have its unique needs. They are imposed due to the absolute need to deliver and deliver on time. Delay is unacceptable, and every second saved in production is crucial. The most important thing in the automotive industry is responsibility, which is the frequency of use. We have recently installed a hoist for a factory that produces car seats, which operates at a speed of 15 cycles per hour, in large quantities.

    The second factor is speed, and the third factor is improving the controllability of the device. The two are interrelated: most hoists have two speeds, namely fast and slow. Fast refers to completing the hook and loading from the pickup point to the destination in the shortest possible time. When it reaches there, it needs to be slow for precise positioning.

    Customer Stories

    About 30,000 separate parts come together to make a single car. A single delay on the assembly line can be disastrous.

    Two 35-ton double-girder cranes installed in the stamping shop

    We once installed two 35 ton double girder cranes for the press shop of a UK car factory. The installation was part of a project to upgrade the factory's old lifting system.

    The crane has a span of 21.8m and provides 9.8m of lift. They run on different gantry guides at different locations in the press shop, and the end carriages are equipped with anti-collision/reduction devices to prevent either system from coming into contact with adjacent cranes, shutting down the power once a predetermined approach is reached.

    As well as installing both cranes, we will provide a series of follow-up service visits for a period of 48 months after installation. To assist with maintenance, both sides of the crane are equipped with walkways throughout the span, as well as a self-closing mechanism on the access gate of the safety rail.

    Other features include emergency stop buttons on the pavement and five LED floodlights.

    Several examples highlight the range of possible applications of KBK crane systems in automotive production lines

    Vehicle bodies are transported by a conveyor system at continuous speeds through production. At one station, the cab and sliding doors are removed for pre-assembly on the door pre-assembly line. The 30kg batteries are also installed here. To do this, the worker uses a single-sided manipulator that has an operating range from 0 to 4,500 mm.

    Manipulators that are each suspended from two rails are also used to remove the large doors, which weigh up to 85kg. Rails measuring a total length of 238 metres were installed at this station.

    In the drive pre-assembly line, the rails are mainly used to provide workers with the necessary tools, such as pneumatic power screwdrivers. Heavy or large components need to be handled on the bench seat and load compartment base panel assembly line, while often heavy, but compact parts such as leaf springs and shock absorbers have to be precisely positioned on the vehicle assembly line.

    Every step of the process has different handling requirements. The same applies for different height levels and the type of suspension: if they are needed for the horizontal mobility of conventional crane installations that are equipped with chain hoists, suspensions that have articulated joints are used. Rugged ergo suspensions that can accommodate torque and kick-up forces are used for applications with handling equipment and telescoping power screwdrivers.
