Combined mechanical and hydraulic technology
The rail-bound manipulator employs a hydraulic and mechanical combination technology.
Forging Manipulator & Charger
ZHJ Rail-Mounted Charging Manipulator
A mechanical-hydraulic hybrid machine that runs on rails, used to transport hot and cold ingots, discs and rings in open die forging plants — with travel, rotation, clamping and lifting via tong, vice or fork.
Overview
About this machine
The forging charger is a mechanical-hydraulic mixed type machine used to transport cold and hot ingots, discs and rings in open-die forging plants, ring mills, blooming mills and similar facilities.
Work types include clamp-support, clamp-hold and fork configurations, enabling manipulator movement, upper rotational capability, clamp rod flexing and lifting operations.
