Transportation and installation of the guillotine is one of the services in demand among metallurgical companies.
At industrial and metallurgical enterprises there is a need for high-quality, without serrated and deformation of the edge, cutting metal, which is provided with the help of the guillotine. The type of equipment is selected depending on the expected thickness of the sheet being processed.
The design of the guillotine consists of two knives installed on the wall, equipped with hydraulic cylinders that facilitate the work, has stops that limit the movement of cutting plates. Such equipment is used both in printing houses and in metal warehouses. It is convenient to work, very productive, but causes difficulties if necessary transportation and maintenance.
In this case, to solve the problem, you can contact the Sintez TMK Company, which has the necessary material base and, no less important, professional performers performing the entire range of works.
Dismantling the guillotine
From the correct disassembly of equipment depends on the possibility of its successful assembly in the future and the correctness of the work. Dismantling the guillotine must be carried out in the sequence specified in the manufacturer’s technical documentation. At the same time, safety requirements developed for electrical and metal cutting equipment must be observed.
Ideally, the dismantling of the guillotine should be done by the same or similarly qualified team that will be involved in the assembly of the equipment. If this is not possible, the entire disassembly sequence should be documented, the removed components and individual parts numbered and carefully packed, which is important for the safety of both the equipment itself and the equipment used for its transportation or storage.
Disassembly is carried out in preparation for repair or during transportation to another room. For different models, the guillotine dismantling may differ in detail.
But the main operations that require care and care remain the same:
- Before disassembly equipment must be de-energized and make sure there is no power supply.
- Remove the casings, clean all parts of the oil residue.
- Attach the crane slings to the pressing beam, carefully fasten.
- Relax the springs pressing the curtains.
- Unscrew the guides.
- Lift the beam with a crane and move to the place of packaging.
- Move the knife beam to the upper position and, inserting pins located on the upper part of the guide holes, fix it.
- Remove the knife beam and rods.
- Disconnect the wall from the foundation, which may require the use of jackhammers, immerse with a crane on the transport.
Disassembly of units during transportation is not required. The weight and dimensions of the scissors allow their transportation in assembled form, provided that the protruding beams are removed. Specialists of Sintez TMK will assess the complexity of dismantling the guillotine, perform disassembly and packaging of parts, rigging and transportation to the assembly site.
Guillotine rigging
Not every rigging company can deal with guillotines. This equipment is quite heavy, has large dimensions and requires a special approach when performing loading and unloading operations. When transporting the guillotine, labor-intensive preparatory work may be necessary. The equipment wall cannot be understood, and the dimensions are decent, therefore, an increase in door or window openings is often required to ensure the supply of lifting transport moving it.
The guillotine rigging can be carried out by an organization that has an appropriate park of special equipment for moving, lifting, transportation, installation of equipment. It is also important to have a professional team who has experience with guillotine rigging, who knows the technical features of the equipment, who have all the necessary tolerances and permits.
All these requirements are met by Sintez TMK, which provides a full range of operations from dismantling to commissioning during the transportation of the guillotine:
- fastening of slings and ropes on the guillotine, taking into account the recommendations specified in the technical passport;
- lifting the guillotine, moving and loading into transport;
- loading of clamping and knife beams, as well as other removed nodes;
- transportation to the place of destination;
- unloading using a lifting mechanism and moving to the installation site;
- placement on the foundation with a combination of mounting holes and foundation bolts.
For the transportation of the guillotine, only serviceable transport of the appropriate carrying capacity is used. If the dimensions of the equipment exceed the standard, which is typical for high-power models, it is necessary to obtain a permit for transportation to the traffic police, order escort by special vehicles.
To lift the guillotines, depending on their characteristics, cranes with an arrow designed to lift from 14 to 90 tons, various cranes-manipulators and loaders can be used. The guillotine rigging may require the use of all sorts of waists, jacks, winches. To calculate the necessary strength of ropes, slings, traverses, select suitable trucks and lifts, you need to specify in detail the nature of the planned work when ordering the transportation of the guillotine, provide detailed information about the equipment, room parameters.
Only in this case, the specialists of the company will develop a detailed work plan that meets real conditions, and you can be sure of the successful implementation of the transportation of the guillotine.
Installation of guillotine
For each model of the guillotine in the passport is given the scheme of production of the foundation. The accuracy of the base for metal cutting equipment is very important. The floor should be flat and solid. By the time of installation of the guillotine, the foundation must be prepared, foundation bolts are installed in it according to the requirements of the equipment manufacturer. If the foundation is manufactured immediately before the installation of the equipment, installation can be carried out only after the final solidification of the screed, not earlier than 15 days after pouring. Depending on the need and complexity of the preparation of the place where the guillotine will be installed, the installation price can significantly increase.
The site for the installation of the guillotine should provide access to lifting equipment. The scissors are unpacked and moved to the installation site. The base is raised and installed, combining holes located on the sidewalls with foundation bolts. After exposure using the base level of the guillotine with deviations not exceeding 0.1-0.2 mm at each meter, the bolts are concreted.
Installation of the guillotine is carried out in the reverse order of its disassembly. After solidifying the cement, a knife beam with rods is supplied to the wall and attached, after which the fixing pins are removed. A clamping beam is placed on top, a guide is screwed and springs are installed. A grille is attached to the guide, protecting a person working on the guillotine from injuries.
Scissors are connected to the power supply with a voltage of 380 V, grounding is necessarily carried out. The installation of the guillotine ends with a performance check, lubrication and adjustment. First, parts and components are cleaned of dust that could appear during transportation. Hydraulic oil is poured into the oil tank.
After mounting and connecting the electric parts of the guillotine, you need to perform a test turn on and make sure the engine is working correctly, measure the current parameters in the network. For a while, the scissors should work idly. Then the quality of cutting is checked on sheets of different thicknesses, alternately fed into the guillotine, starting with the thinnest. If necessary, adjust the exhaust valve and set the gap between the blades of the knives. Be sure to control the direction of rotation of the engine of the oil pump. If the connection is made incorrectly, it can quickly fail.
Properly performed by the company’s specialists, the installation of the guillotine will ensure efficiency and help avoid problems during operation.
Guillotine maintenance
After installation and commissioning, there is a problem of guillotine maintenance. Any equipment requires that its condition be monitored by a person who understands the design, knows the possible problems and is able to prevent or correct them.
The company “Sintez TMK” is not limited to rigging, and is ready to perform guillotine maintenance not only during start-up and adjustment, but also during use.
It is not always advisable to have a large staff of repairmen for each type of equipment. There is no point in paying salaries to narrowly profiled professionals whose workload will not be too large. It is much more profitable to order guillotine outsourcing in firms specializing in equipment repair.
Synthesis of TMK refers to organizations whose staff includes specialists who understand the repair of guillotines of different brands and know everything about them. You can be sure that if the condition of the equipment will be monitored by the master of his business, regularly conducting inspection and maintenance of guillotines. He timely changes the oil in the hydraulic system, optimally exposes the gap between the knives. If during the operation of the machine there are extraneous noises or vibration, he as a doctor will correctly diagnose and quickly return the guillotine to working condition.
If the quality of the cut has deteriorated, it is necessary to maintain a guillotine knife, which is clearly blunted. Knives with several cutting edges are turned from time to time, and after a change they are adjusted. If all the edges are dulled, the knives are sent to sharpen or new ones are bought.
Specialists of the company “Sintez TMK” will provide maintenance of a guillotine cutter or scissors, monitor their technical condition, timely replace worn parts. This service will help not only to keep the equipment in perfect condition, but also save the customer money and time for repairs.
