Crane Configuration for Industrial Automation Equipment
Cranes for industrial automation equipment manufacturing are configured in four categories: robots, AGVs, vision systems, and control cabinets. For robot bodies, an LD Type 3–5 t crane handles precision assembly; for AGV bodies, a KBK 0.5–2 t workstation crane provides flexible lifting and transport; for vision systems, a KBK 0.25–0.5 t light-load crane is used; and for control cabinets, a KBK 0.25–1 t crane is specified. A complete plant configuration typically ranges from 100,000 to 300,000 CNY (approx. $14,800–$44,500).
Precision Hoisting for Industrial Robot Assembly
Industrial robot bodies weigh between 500 and 2,000 kg (six-axis robot arms plus bases). An LD Type 3–5 t crane is recommended. The assembly of robot bases and rotary tables demands high accuracy, with parallelism requirements of ≤0.02 mm. Kelude cranes in the robot assembly area come standard with variable frequency micro-speed control and anti-sway technology.
The J1/J2 axes (base/lower arm) of a six-axis robot weigh 200–500 kg. Assembly of the RV gearbox requires gear backlash accuracy of ≤1 arcmin. Kelude cranes in the robot area support precision assembly and testing operations.
Flexible KBK Workstation Cranes for AGV Assembly
AGV/AMR bodies weigh 300–2,000 kg. A KBK 0.5–2 t workstation crane is recommended, positioned along the assembly line for full coverage. Kelude KBK crane rails in the AGV area are installed along the assembly line, supporting battery installation and navigation module assembly.
AGV chassis (steel plate welded) weigh 200–1,000 kg, and battery modules range from 50 to 200 kg. Assembly of AGV navigation LiDAR and control systems requires anti-static handling.
Precision Testing for Machine Vision Cameras and Lenses
Industrial and smart cameras weigh 1–10 kg, while testing equipment ranges from 50 to 200 kg. A KBK 0.25–0.5 t crane is recommended. Vision light source controllers weigh 10–30 kg.
Light source controllers and camera fixing brackets for vision inspection systems weigh 10–50 kg. Inspection darkrooms and motion platforms (XY-axis) weigh 200–500 kg.
Control Cabinet Assembly for PLC and Servo Systems
PLC control cabinets and servo drives weigh 200–800 kg. A KBK 0.25–1 t crane is recommended. Electrical cabinet assembly requires shock-proof lifting and transport.
Components inside PLC control cabinets (power supply modules, CPU, I/O modules) must be installed individually. The complete control cabinet assembly weighs 500–800 kg. Kelude KBK cranes in the control cabinet area support the assembly and testing of power distribution cabinets.

FAQ
Q: What is the assembly accuracy of the robot body?
A: Base parallelism is ≤0.02mm. Micro-speed lifting and anti-sway control come as standard.
Q: How long is the KBK rail on the AGV assembly line?
A: It follows the assembly line length, typically 20–50 m, and the KBK rail can be extended with additional sections. Kelude provides 3D interference simulation to verify the layout.
Q: Does the vision system require a crane?
A: The individual parts are light, but the inspection darkroom and motion platform are heavy — a KBK crane with 0.25–0.5 t capacity provides sufficient coverage.
Q: What should be considered when assembling the control cabinet?
A: The PLC modules must be shock-proof. The KBK's variable frequency micro-speed drive ensures smooth lifting and transport.
