Wall mounted slewing jib crane
The proposal is to build a slewing wall-mounted jib crane on a column near the Bridgeport milling machine.
Crane will be used for lifting parts, accessories and material on and off milling machine and the metal lathe.
Requirements:
Jib length - 3m (to reach the lathe. Can't be much longer than that to be able to clear the opposite wall)
Lifting capacity - 50 kg near the tip, 150 kg at the column (main uses near the tip would be lathe chucks, crosslide attachements and the lathe tailstock; near the column - milling vise, dividing head and the rotary table)
Ability to slew around the column to cover 180° of area
Inspiration
Construction
The crane consists of:
top and bottom mounting plates which attach the crane to the brick column and provide bearing housing
main crane body which consists of a metal column, a jib attached to it and a supporting brace
trolley which rides along the jib
electric winch which attaches to the trolley and does the lifting
Sketch (disregard the dimensions)
Materials aquired:
I-beam(dwuteownik) (Height=100mm Lenght=3m) - for the jib
Pipe (D=108mm Length=3m) - for the column
Flat bar (płaskownik) 50x5mm Lenght=6m - for the brace
Plate (Thickness=10mm) - for mounting plates
Bottom bearings - (32008 AX KLF-ZVL 40x68x19)
Top bearings - from the ventilation unit
