Automatic Radiator Panel Stacking Machine

Product Introduction

The Automatic Radiator Panel Stacking Machine is designed for automatic handling and stacking of finished transformer radiator panels after the straightening process.

The machine uses an electromagnetic lifting system, 90° rotation mechanism, and positioning trolley to pick up completed radiator panels and place them into comb racks according to preset spacing.

With automatic lifting, transferring, rotation, and rack switching functions, the equipment reduces manual handling and protects radiator panels from deformation after welding and leveling.

It provides an efficient automation solution for transformer manufacturers requiring stable stacking accuracy, continuous production, and improved workshop efficiency.

Position in Transformer Radiator Production Line

The Automatic Radiator Panel Stacking Machine is installed at the end of the radiator production line, after the straightening and leveling process.

Typical production sequence:

Steel Coil Feeding → Hydraulic Mandrel Decoiler → Radiator Panel Roll Forming → Panel Turnover & Joining → Multi-Spot Welding → Dual Seam Welding → Edge Trimming → End Cutting → End Welding → Straightening & Leveling → Automatic Stacking → Header Pipe Assembly

After welding and leveling, radiator panels are automatically lifted, rotated, and placed into comb racks with fixed spacing.

This process ensures panels are organized, protected, and ready for downstream assembly operations.

Key Features

• Electromagnetic Panel Handling

The machine uses electromagnetic lifting technology to pick up radiator panels without gripping or contacting welded edges, reducing the risk of surface damage and deformation.

• Automatic 90° Rotation and Placement

The lifting mechanism rotates panels 90° and accurately places them into the collection rack according to preset positioning requirements.

• Fixed Pitch Comb Rack Stacking

The rack uses a fixed spacing design:

45 mm standard pitch

40 mm optional pitch

ensuring consistent panel arrangement for later assembly operations.

• Dual Rack Continuous Operation

Two collection racks are installed on a floor rail system.

When one rack is full, the machine automatically switches to the second rack, allowing continuous production without stopping the radiator line.

• Servo-Controlled Traveling System

The trolley uses gear rack transmission with servo motor drive, providing stable movement and accurate positioning during repeated stacking operations.

Technical Parameters

FAQ

1. How are radiator panels picked up?

The machine uses an electromagnetic lifting system to safely handle finished radiator panels without damaging welded surfaces.

2. What is the standard stacking pitch?

The standard rack pitch is 45 mm, with 40 mm optional spacing available according to production requirements.

3. How does the machine achieve continuous production?

The machine uses two racks on a floor rail system and automatically switches to the standby rack when one rack is full.

4. What is the maximum trolley speed?

The trolley maximum travel speed is 31 m/min.

5. Can the stacking pitch be customized?

Yes. The rack spacing can be customized according to radiator panel specifications and assembly requirements.
