Working Principle / Operating System

 

The operating architecture relies on a closed-loop hydraulic transmission circuit driven by variable displacement axial piston pumps. When operator input is registered via the platform control console, proportional valves modulate hydraulic fluid flow to individual hydraulic cylinders governing turret rotation, riser articulation, main boom elevation, and telescoping extension.

The onboard electronic control unit (ECU) processes real-time sensor data—including tilt angle, boom length, and platform load cell feedback—against pre-programmed safe working load algorithms. If operating parameters approach structural limits, hydraulic flow is restricted to prevent overload tipping moments while retaining retraction capability.

Turret & Slewing Ring: Forged alloy steel internal-gear slewing bearing driven by a high-torque hydraulic planetary gear motor, providing continuous 360-degree non-continuous rotation.


Boom Assemblies: Telescoping structural arms fabricated from Q690 high-yield structural steel plate, utilizing internal slide pads made of self-lubricating ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE).


Hydraulic Cylinder Group: Double-acting cylinders equipped with integrated dual counterbalance holding valves to prevent uncontrolled boom descent in case of hose rupture.


Power Pack Unit: Compliant industrial diesel engine coupled directly to hydraulic pump manifolds, or maintenance-free AC asynchronous drive motors powered by thermal-managed lithium battery packs.


Tires: Solid rubber, foam-filled, non-marking rough terrain tread blocks mounted on heavy-gauge multi-piece steel wheel rims.

 

Safety & Control

 

Overload Sensing System: Strain-gauge load cells mounted at the platform mounting bracket instantly halt boom extension functions if platform payload exceeds rated thresholds.

 

Tilt Sensor Integration: Dual-axis electronic inclinometer locks out drive and high-drive speed functions if chassis inclination exceeds 3 degrees on sloped surfaces.

 

Emergency Stop Infrastructure: Dual latching push-button E-stops positioned at both platform and ground control stations cut electrical power to the main pump solenoid instantly.

 

Compliance Standards: Manufactured strictly in accordance with international structural stability and safety requirements.

 

Braking System: Spring-applied, hydraulically released multi-disc wet brakes integrated directly into the wheel hub reduction gearboxes, providing automatic parking engagement upon throttle release.

Manufacturing & Quality Control

Laser Cutting & Robotic Welding: All structural boom plates are processed via high-power fiber laser cutting machines to maintain tight dimensional tolerances. Main boom seams are welded using robotic MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding stations to ensure penetration depth and weld microstructure consistency.


Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Critical structural welds on slewing rings, boom pivot points, and chassis frames undergo magnetic particle testing (MT) and ultrasonic testing (UT) prior to assembly.


Shot Blasting & Anti-Corrosion Coating: Steel chassis and boom assemblies undergo automated steel-grit blasting to commercial surface cleanliness standards, followed by a two-component epoxy zinc-rich primer and a polyurethane finish coat.


Hydraulic Pressure & Cleanliness Testing: Assembled hydraulic manifolds and cylinders are subjected to proof pressure testing at 1.5 times maximum working pressure and flushed to high-standard fluid cleanliness requirements.


Full-Cycle Factory Burn-In Test: Completed lifts undergo a rigorous dynamic load test on a dedicated test track, verifying steering geometry, gradeability, braking distance, and hydraulic circuit thermal stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: How does the dual-envelope load-sensing system function when operating at maximum horizontal outreach?

A: The system utilizes dual strain-gauge load cells mounted beneath the platform floor combined with a linear string potentiometer on the secondary boom. When the platform is loaded, the sensor transmits real-time weight data to the main electronic control unit (ECU). As the boom extends horizontally, the ECU continuously calculates the tipping moment. If the load approaches the stability threshold, the controller automatically restricts further extension and elevation functions while permitting retraction and lowering movements to ensure compliance with overturning moment limits.

Q: What specific NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) methods are applied to high-stress structural weldments?

A: All load-bearing structural components—specifically including the slewing ring mounting flange, boom pivot pin lugs, and chassis outrigger joints—undergo thorough inspection. We utilize Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) to detect surface and near-surface micro-cracks in ferromagnetic steel plates, alongside Ultrasonic Testing (UT) for welded joint root penetration verification. Inspection reports and verification documentation are archived and can be provided upon request with equipment dispatch.

Q: Can the diesel model operate continuously in confined indoor or low-ventilation environments?

A: The standard diesel model utilizes an industrial engine equipped with emission-reduction catalysts. However, for enclosed indoor facilities or warehouses with strict air quality standards, we recommend our electric lithium-ion (LiFePO4) variant. The electric model produces zero tailpipe emissions, operates at lower decibel levels, and maintains equivalent duty cycles through high-density thermal-managed battery packs.

Q: What maintenance intervals are required for the hydraulic system, and what fluid cleanliness standards must be maintained?

A: Routine hydraulic filter replacement is scheduled every 500 operating hours, while hydraulic oil replacement is recommended every 2,000 hours under normal operating conditions. To prevent internal spool sticking in proportional valves, incoming replacement fluid must meet stringent industrial cleanliness standards. Dual high-pressure return filters with fine synthetic media elements are installed as standard equipment to continuously scrub particulate matter during operation.

Q: How does the active oscillation axle system maintain traction on rough, uneven construction terrain?

A: On our rough-terrain diesel models, the steer axle is mounted on a central pivot pin connected to two hydraulic oscillation cylinders. When traversing rocks, mud, or unpaved ruts, the hydraulic fluid between these opposing cylinders is allowed to flow freely through a locked valve circuit, permitting the axle to tilt independently of the main chassis frame. This mechanical freedom ensures that all four drive tires maintain continuous ground contact, maximizing drawbar pull and preventing loss of traction on severe inclines.

Q: What diagnostic tools or interfaces are provided for troubleshooting electronic control or CAN-bus communication errors?

A: The machine integrates an industrial CAN-bus communication network linking the platform controller, ground control module, and engine ECU. Service technicians can plug a diagnostic handset directly into the base control panel port or utilize a compatible PC-based service software tool via an adapter. The interface displays real-time input/output status, active fault codes, sensor calibration values, and historical error logs, significantly reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) in the field.
