Reduced maintenance work and downtime when replacing chains on casting equipment
Screw Lock Link
overview
In the chain drive section of casting equipment, partial chain replacement in the limited space required time and effort.
By adopting Screw Lock Link, cut and connect can be performed with just a torque wrench, greatly improving the efficiency of maintenance work.
Work can be done safely and quickly even in tight spaces without using hammers or special jigs, reducing the burden on workers, ensuring safety, and shortening recovery time.
Problem
In casting equipment, the attachments that transport the dummy bars on dummy bar car chains wear out faster than the chain itself, so it was common to replace only the links with the attachments.
This required a lot of effort to cut and connect the chain, which significantly reduced maintenance efficiency, especially in limited work space.In particular, in production sites where downtime needs to be kept to a minimum, there was a demand for faster chain replacement.
Adopted products
大形コンベヤチェーン 継手リンク スクリューロックリンク
This connecting link makes it possible for anyone to easily perform the dangerous and technically demanding cut and connect of Large size conveyor chain with just a torque wrench.
cut and connect can be done with just a torque wrench, eliminating the need for dangerous hammer work.
The tapered structure of the plate allows for accurate positioning, and proper connection can be achieved simply by tightening the nut to the specified torque.
Benefits of adopting the product
By adopting Screw Lock Link, it is now possible to quickly cut and connect only the section of the chain that needs to be replaced using a single torque wrench, significantly simplifying the previously complicated work process.
Since there is no need to use a hammer, it can be used safely and smoothly even in tight spaces, and the burden on the worker is reduced.
This enabled us to simultaneously reduce recovery time and improve maintainability.
