Electric tilting system

Different types of bogies are clamped on these customized tilting devices and during the painting process they are tilted by ± 45°. This device is driven hydraulically. The stop positions are protected by mechanical interlocking even in case of pipeline damage. This application-specific turning device is also used for maintenance, cleaning, repair and servicing tasks. Structure of the tilting device (or turning device) The tilting device consists laterally of two bearing blocks, between which there is a mounting frame. On the mounting frame there are 4 clamping devices on which the bogie is mounted. The device is fixed to the floor. A bearing block contains a generously dimensioned drive to cope with the bogies' centers of gravity which might not be located in the axis of rotation. The drive side is protected by a mounted protective hood. The opposite bearing block can be moved and locked on rails to compensate for different lengths of the bogies. The electrical control cabinet and the hydraulic unit with attached valve technology are located on a rack outside the spraying booth. Procedure/ Function A suitable hoist and 4 rope suspensions are required to insert the bogie into the tilting device. After the bogie frame has been positioned exactly on the 4 clamping devices, the frame is fixed by means of clamping claws. The tilting process is initiated by extending or retracting a hydraulic cylinder. When the tilting position is changed into the desired direction, the lock is released and the tilting process begins. When the bogie is in the desired position, locking takes place.
