Wall mounted slewing jib crane
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
