Overhead slab clamp crane is a key equipment for continuous casting and hot rolling areas of steel enterprises. It is specially used for lifting, stacking and flipping operations of high-temperature slabs. Overall structure adopts a heavy-duty box-beam bridge design. The main beam and end beam are connected to form a rigid frame by high-strength bolts, which can withstand high-temperature radiation and heavy-load shocks. The main beam usually adopts a rail-shaped box-shaped beam structure, with reinforcement plates installed inside to improve torsional resistance.
The core component is a special slab clamp device, made of heat-resistant alloy steel, and the jaws are inlaid with special ceramic fiber linings to resist high temperature burning. Clamps are automatically clamped through a lever mechanism or hydraulic system, and the mechanical self-locking design ensures that the clamping force can be maintained even in the event of power outage. The upper part of the clamp is connected to a lifting system composed of high-temperature resistant steel wire rope and balance beam. For occasions where flip operations are required, a rotating mechanism can be added to the clamp to achieve accurate flip of the slab 90 degrees or 180 degrees.
Considering the high-temperature operating environment, thermal insulation protective covers are installed in key electrical components. And the main steel structures are coated with heat-resistant and anti-corrosion coatings to ensure that the equipment operates for a long time and reliably under high temperature conditions of 400-1200℃. This specialized structural design makes the slab clamp crane an indispensable and important equipment for the continuous casting and hot rolling production lines of modern steel enterprises.
