Design hydraulic system for the operation of the production line to assemble the beam

Abstract

In this research, the Design of hydraulic system to operate the production line to purpose of assemble the beam was completed. Firstly many types of hydraulic systems and the other systems which use to assemble the steel beam (manually and automatically) were studied, then all the contents of these systems with all the characteristics which distinguish them was defined to choosing the best ones between them. A table of dimensions (2000 * 5000) mm was chosen to work as a sitting table which use to place the hydraulic system. It was considered in its selection to conform to the specifications of the factory table, which was designed for this system in terms of height, width and height. The assembly process was divided into the web and flange assembly process, In the processes of assembling the web 15 cylinders operated synchronisms were selected to hold maximum weight of (7000 kg), In the processes of assembling the flange 12 cylinders operated synchronisms were selected to hold weight of (3000 kg) which Divided between the right and left flange, all of this cylinders in form of double acting and his maximum stroke to hold weight were determined. All the other of hydraulic circuit component were designed by using valves and hydraulic power system under the operation pressure of 250 bar for industrial usage. SolidWorks software was selected to design of the external frames of the system and the (FL-SIM) Fluid Simulation software for hydraulic circuit‟s simulation, after that the hydraulic circuit‟s suitability to raise the load was validated and the time to rise the load was taken into consideration. This system can be operated by using electric or mechanical motor via the internal combustion engines to manage the pump feeding motors which make the fluid flow to lift the load. The system is designed with valves with a manual control system, but if the digital control system was used, there will be better results
