The successful research and development of the world's first and largest casting crane marks that Taichung has entered a new stage in the design and manufacturing of large-scale casting cranes, which will greatly improve the competitiveness of China's casting cranes in the field, and is another milestone in the manufacturing industry of China and even the world.

The 520 ton casting crane is the key equipment of molten steel receiving span in Zhanjiang steelmaking area of Baosteel. With a rated lifting capacity of 520 tons, it is the metallurgical casting crane with the largest lifting capacity and the lowest wheel pressure among similar products in the world. Its main purpose is to complete the lifting of molten steel at more than 1600 ° C under the harsh environment of high temperature and dust, and its workload is the highest level of the crane.

It is worth mentioning that the equipment adopts the patented technology "four beam six rail, low-speed shaft connected large reducer structure form", which integrates a variety of advanced technologies. In order to ensure the safety and reliability in the normal operation, the 520 ton casting crane adopts four steel wire rope suspension systems. When any one of them breaks, it can ensure that the ladle will not fall and tilt, and real-time video monitoring of the ladle can avoid the visual blind spot of the operator. It is also equipped with the most advanced electric frequency conversion speed regulation system, with brake feedback device and automatic fault diagnosis system, which can monitor the crane in real time, find out the operation abnormality in time and record the operation data. Compared with similar equipment, it has the advantages of reasonable structural arrangement and stress, safe and reliable operation, stable operation and energy saving, and the overall technical level has reached the international leading level.
