In steel plate hoisting operations, pain points have long plagued related companies. Heavy steel plates are extremely heavy, and traditional hoisting methods are not only time-consuming and laborious but also present numerous safety hazards. Traditional hoisting devices mainly include steel wire rope binding, hook suspension, and clamp clamping. However, steel wire rope binding can easily cause the steel plate to swing and slip, and it can also cause compression and deformation of the steel plate edges; hook suspension has high requirements for the flatness of the steel plate, and uneven steel plates are difficult to hoist stably; clamp clamping is easy to leave clamp marks on the surface of the steel plate, affecting the appearance and quality of the steel plate. At the same time, for ultra-thin or oversized steel plates, traditional hoisting devices are often difficult to adapt to, resulting in low hoisting efficiency.
To solve these hoisting problems, Qianhao Magnetic Electric has launched a series of magnetic suction devices, including permanent magnet cranes and lifting electromagnets, with the electro-permanent magnet being the best among them. The electro-permanent magnet is a perfect combination of the advantages of permanent magnets and electromagnets. It inherits the characteristics of permanent magnets that do not require continuous power supply to maintain magnetism, saving energy and remaining stable adsorption in the event of a sudden power failure to ensure safety; at the same time, it also has the advantage of electromagnets that can control the magnetic switch through current, making operation convenient and flexible. As an upgraded product, the electro-permanent magnet responds quickly and has precise magnetic force adjustment, better meeting the requirements of automation and high efficiency in modern intelligent production, and also meeting the strict standards of safe production, fundamentally changing the predicament of traditional steel plate hoisting.
Qianhao Magnetic Electric has numerous successful cases in the field of heavy steel plate hoisting. In the steel plate logistics park, its electro-permanent magnet hoisting device can hoist 30 1.5mm steel plates at one time (32 in the picture is an over-limit test; the safe usage range is 30 1.5mm steel plates), which can achieve single suction and single release, and can also achieve multiple suction and single release. With precise magnetic force adjustment, it meets the needs of efficient sorting and transportation in the logistics park. In the Hengli Shipyard, for the hoisting of 30-ton steel plates, the electro-permanent magnet hoisting device provided by Qianhao demonstrates excellent safety. Based on the design of beam gravity, combined with the powerful pull-off force data of the electro-permanent magnet, it ensures the stability and reliability of the heavy steel plate hoisting process.
In the steel plate blanking industry, Qianhao's nationwide full-coverage electro-permanent magnet hoisting device is used in Sany Heavy Industry Ningxiang Lighthouse Factory. This hoisting device can transport more than 300 types of parts after cutting, together with scraps, at one time, achieving no leakage suction and no vertical suction, greatly improving the operation efficiency of the blanking process.
Whether you are in automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, railway groups, or other companies involved in steel plate handling, clamping, and adsorption, Qianhao Magnetic Electric's magnetic suction method electro-permanent magnet is the ideal choice. Qianhao's four major products—electro-permanent magnet hoisting devices, electro-permanent magnet chucks, electro-permanent magnet clamps, and quick mold change systems—can comprehensively solve the problems encountered in steel plate processing in various industries, providing efficient, safe, and convenient solutions for your production operations.
