Crane Solutions for Security Equipment Manufacturing
Security equipment manufacturing (surveillance cameras 0.5–5 kg/unit, access controllers 10–30 kg/unit, alarm control panels 50–100 kg/unit, intercom master stations 30–80 kg/unit) centers on electronic assembly and sheet metal fabrication. Recommended setup: KBK 250 kg with AGV + light-duty overhead conveyor + jib crane. Kelude's full security line is ESD-protected.
Security equipment manufacturing covers four main product categories: surveillance cameras, access controllers, alarm control panels, and intercom systems. The production process relies primarily on SMT electronic assembly and sheet metal enclosure fabrication. Products are lightweight and highly varied, demanding flexible production workflows.
SMT Line Support for Surveillance Camera Production
Surveillance cameras (dome, bullet, and PTZ types) involve SMT placement, sensor assembly, and lens focusing. SMT placement machines (1–2 t each) rarely require crane assistance during installation since they come with built-in loading provisions. Lens focusing stations need precision pneumatic tools.
Recommended model: LD single-girder electric crane, 1–3 t, for SMT equipment installation and die/fixture handling. Daily production uses AGVs (500 kg load capacity) to deliver PCBs and materials to individual workstations. No routine crane operation is needed in the SMT workshop.
Price reference: LD single-girder crane, 1 t, approx. $3,000–$6,000 per unit. Kelude's surveillance solution includes AGV + material racks + anti-static flooring.
Sheet Metal Fabrication for Access Controllers — Stamping, Bending, Assembly
The access controller enclosure (cold-rolled steel plate, 1.0–1.5 mm) goes through stamping, bending, welding, painting, and assembly. Each controller weighs 10–30 kg, with the enclosure accounting for 60% of that weight. The sheet metal line is highly automated (CNC punch press + press brake), and material handling frequency is high.
Recommended model: KBK flexible modular crane, 250 kg, covering the sheet metal bending and welding zones. Steel plates (1.5 × 3 m, 50–100 kg per sheet) are moved with an electric stacker. Finished enclosures are transferred to the assembly workshop via a suspension conveyor line (10 kg/m load capacity).
Price reference: KBK 250 kg: approx. $22,300–$44,500 per unit. Kelude's access control solution integrates a suspension conveyor with KBK for collaborative operation.
Alarm Control Panel Assembly: Aging Test & Finished Goods Handling
Alarm control panels (including control board, power supply, and communication module) weigh 50–100 kg and require a 72-hour aging test (40°C with power applied). Panels are stacked on multi-tier aging racks (3–5 units per tier), and lifting equipment is needed to load and unload the racks.
Recommended model: KBK suspension rail, 250 kg, covering the aging rack operating area, paired with an electric chain hoist (250 kg) for lifting multi-tier trays. Finished panels are moved to the packaging area on an electric flat car (1 t capacity).
Price reference: KBK 250 kg: approx. $22,300–$44,500 per unit. Kelude's alarm panel solution includes an aging rack lifting linkage system.
Intercom System Assembly: Unit Assembly & Packaging
Intercom systems (door station + indoor monitor + management center) are primarily electronic assembly with plastic or metal housings. Each main unit weighs 30–80 kg. Production runs are large (1,000–5,000 units per batch), generating significant packaging and warehousing volumes.
Recommended model: Electric flat car (1–2 t capacity, 15–30 m rail length) covering finished goods transport from the final assembly line to the warehouse. A pneumatic balancer (50 kg) is provided at the line side for handling large indoor monitors.
Price reference: Electric flat car, 1 t: approx. $29,700–$59,300 per unit. Kelude's intercom solution integrates an electric flat car with a roller conveyor line for automated outbound logistics.

FAQ
Q: What navigation accuracy does an AGV require in a surveillance camera SMT workshop?
A: AGVs in SMT workshops are primarily used for material delivery (PCBs/electronic components), where positioning accuracy of ±10–20mm is sufficient. We recommend magnetic tape navigation (low cost, around $2,200 per unit) or laser SLAM (more flexible, around $5,900 per unit). Note: AGV access system width should be ≥800mm with a turning radius of ≥1m. Kelude provides AGV selection and route planning.
Q: How do you connect the sheet metal line for access controller enclosures to the assembly line?
A: The connection works as follows: ① Finished enclosures from the sheet metal line are lifted via KBK onto overhead conveyor hangers; ② The overhead conveyor (speed 1–2 m/min, stroke 30–50m) transports enclosures to the assembly workshop; ③ Assembly stations remove enclosures from the conveyor, install circuit boards, test, and complete finished goods. Key advantage: overhead transport saves floor space and reduces semi-finished goods warehouse inventory by 60%. Kelude provides integrated overhead conveyor + KBK commissioning.
Q: What lifting solution is recommended for the 72-hour aging test of alarm control panels?
A: The aging rack features a multi-tier structure (3–5 units per tier, with a total load capacity of 300–500 kg). The solution: ① An electric chain hoist (250 kg) is mounted on a KBK crane rail above the aging rack; ② New units are lifted from the assembly line to the top tier of the aging rack and lowered tier by tier; ③ After aging is complete, units are lifted out from the bottom tier. Lifting speed is kept at ≤2 m/min to avoid impact. Kelude's aging rack solution is equipped with PLC-based automatic control and temperature interlock.
Q: What is the packaging and logistics solution for mass production of intercom systems?
A: For an annual output of 100,000 intercom systems, the packaging and logistics workflow is: ① A roller conveyor line (8–12 m long, 5 m/min speed) is installed at the end of the final assembly line; ② Finished products move via the roller conveyor into an automatic case sealer and automatic labeling machine; ③ After sealing, an electric flat car (2 t load capacity) transfers the products to a high-bay warehouse; ④ The WMS automatically assigns storage locations. The entire line can achieve up to 80% automation. Kelude provides a complete automated packaging and logistics line solution.
