Automotive Component Workshop: Application Case of Rail-Mounted Electric Lifting Protective Transfer Cart

1. Industry Scenario

In an automotive chassis component production workshop, heavy stamping workpieces (800kg per unit) need to be transferred between the stamping station (0.5m height) → assembly station (2.5m height) → finished product temporary storage area (1.2m height). Previously, forklifts combined with manual handling were used, which had problems such as mismatched station heights, easy workpiece collision, and personnel contact risks—resulting in low efficiency and poor safety.

2. Core Customer Requirements

  1. Adapt to pre-embedded rails in the workshop to enable precise transfer between 3 fixed-point stations;
  2. Equipped with a lifting function to flexibly connect stations of different heights;
  3. Provide protective structures to prevent workpiece falling and personnel contact with moving parts;
  4. Adopt a low-noise, exhaust-free drive mode suitable for the enclosed workshop environment.

3. Equipment Configuration (Matching the Transfer Cart in the Image)

  1. Main Type: Rail-mounted electric transfer cart (compatible with 300mm-gauge pre-embedded rails in the workshop);
  2. Lifting System: Scissor-type hydraulic lifting platform (lifting range: 0.5m-2.8m, matching the height of all stations);
  3. Safety Protection: Fully transparent acrylic + metal frame protective cabin (prevents workpiece falling, isolates moving parts, while maintaining operational visibility);
  4. Control Mode: Manual/semiautomatic dual-mode (equipped with emergency stop button and station positioning keys);
  5. Load Capacity: Rated load of 1 ton, meeting the weight requirement of the workpieces.

4. Application Value

  1. Efficiency Improvement: Replacing forklift + manual handling, the single transfer time is reduced from 15 minutes to 5 minutes, increasing cross-station transfer efficiency by 60%;
  2. Safety Upgrade: The protective cabin isolates high-risk areas—no safety incidents (e.g., workpiece collision, personnel contact) have occurred since operation;
  3. Precise Adaptation: Rail-based operation + fixed-point positioning function ensure station docking error ≤ 5cm, eliminating the need for secondary workpiece adjustment;
  4. Environment Compatibility: Electric drive (no exhaust) and operating noise < 60dB, meeting the environmental protection and comfort requirements of enclosed workshop operations.
