✅ 1. Product Introduction
The Automatic Electromagnetic Steel Pipe Stacking Machine is a specialized smart equipment designed for stacking steel pipes. It utilizes electromagnetic lifting to efficiently and quickly handle and stack steel pipes into bundles. Widely used in welded pipe, seamless pipe, and stainless steel pipe production lines, it can be integrated with downstream strapping machines and conveyors to achieve a fully automated, unmanned stacking process.
✅ 2. Working Principle
-
Uses electromagnetic lifters to attract and move steel pipes without clamps or pneumatic systems.
-
PLC controls the lift, electromagnetic suction/release, and movement processes.
-
Pipes are stacked layer by layer according to preset configurations.
-
Sensors detect pipe positions for precise alignment and stacking.
✅ 3. Main Components
-
Electromagnetic Lifter Set: Multiple units with independent control for different pipe lengths and stack sizes
-
Lifting Mechanism: Driven by hydraulic or servo systems to raise and lower the pipes
-
Transverse Conveyor System: Moves pipes laterally from production to stacking area
-
Stacking Platform: Adjustable platform for holding and organizing pipe stacks
-
Control System: PLC + HMI for setting stacking modes and magnetic zones
-
Safety Features: Emergency stop, photoelectric sensors, and fault alarm systems
