Overview
A KBK Stacking Crane is a lightweight material handling equipment based on the German KBK standard modular flexible suspension system, designed for efficient stacking, warehouse logistics, and production line material transfer. Combining modular structure, flexible layout, and high-precision control, it is suitable for factory workshops, warehouses, assembly lines, and other environments, particularly in spaces with limited room or requiring frequent workstation adjustments. Its core advantages lie in efficiency, flexibility, and safety, significantly improving material handling productivity while reducing labor costs.
Structure and Components
The KBK Stacking Crane adopts a modular design, comprising the following key components:
Track System (KBK Rail)
1. Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy or steel rails, supporting flexible configurations of straight lines, curves, and branch tracks to meet diverse spatial layouts.
2. The rail system is rigidly mounted to overhead structures (e.g., steel beams or concrete ceilings) via brackets, eliminating the need for ground columns and maximizing floor space utilization.
Lifting Mechanism
1.Equipped with an electric hoist or servo-driven lifting unit, enabling precise vertical movement. Load capacity typically ranges from 50kg to 2000kg, with customizable options.
2. Features dual-speed or variable frequency control for smooth acceleration/deceleration and positioning accuracy within ±1mm, ideal for precision stacking.
Traveling Mechanism
1. Utilizes electric-driven trolleys for horizontal movement along KBK rails, operable via manual or automated controls.
2. Optional wireless remote control, PLC automation, or integration with upper-level systems (e.g., WMS) for intelligent material handling.
Stacking Attachments
Compatible with customized end-effectors such as forks, grippers, or vacuum suction devices to handle pallets, containers, coils, and other material types.
Safety System
Includes overload protection, limit switches, emergency brakes, anti-collision sensors, and compliance with CE/ISO safety standards.
