Refractory bricks typically have high density (heavy weight per brick), dusty surfaces, and are prone to chipping at the edges. Traditional soft cable lifting devices are prone to a “swaying effect,” while rigid boom structures effectively solve the problems of inaccurate positioning and swaying through rigid connecting rods. Combined with vacuum adsorption technology, this achieves a “fast, accurate, and stable” operation process.
System Core Architecture
This equipment combines physical rigid support with pneumatic intelligent control to form a highly efficient handling workstation.
Rigid-Arm Structure: Employing a parallel four-bar linkage or telescopic rigid cantilever, it effectively counteracts the eccentric moment of the workpiece. Even if the operator deviates from the center point during gripping, the robotic arm will not tilt.
Vacuum End-Effector: Designed for the porous and rough surfaces of refractory bricks, it features a high-flow-rate vacuum generation system and wear-resistant silicone suction cups.
Technical Specifications
| Maximum load | 50kg∼300kg |
| Working radius | 2.5m∼4.5m |
| Vertical lifting height | 1.2m∼2.5m |
| Suction cup material | High-polymer wear-resistant polyurethane/special silicone |
Product Advantages
- Protecting Brick Edges: Mechanical clamps often cause chipping when holding unsintered green bricks or high-value finished bricks. The suction cups use planar adsorption, eliminating stress damage and reducing scrap rates by 90%.
- Extremely High Stacking Accuracy: Because the rigid arm has no swing, operators can tightly arrange bricks with an accuracy of ±0.5mm, which is crucial for controlling the air permeability of kiln car stacking.
- Single-Person Operation: Large insulating bricks or furnace lining components that previously required two workers to handle can now be easily handled by one worker, increasing labor productivity by 100%.
- Adaptability to Harsh Environments: All joints of the rigid arm structure are designed with dustproof seals, perfectly adapting to the high dust and high ambient temperature working conditions of refractory brick factories.
