Construction of Electromagnetic Crane

An electromagnetic crane uses a large electromagnet instead of mechanical arms to lift scrap metal materials. It works by inducing a magnetic field in the electromagnet when powered, allowing it to attract and lift ferromagnetic metals. The crane consists of a base, wheels, motors, batteries, pulleys, wiring, and an electromagnet. It operates by lowering the electromagnet near the scrap metal, powering it on to attract the metal, then moving the crane and depositing the metal at the desired location by turning off the power. Electromagnetic cranes are useful for handling ferrous scrap safely and smoothly.

DEFINISI AND FUNCTION

1. An electromagnetic crane is a type of crane with an electromagnetic lift. Electromagnetic


cranes are commonly utilized in lifting and moving various scrap metals. It does not have
the mechanical ‘pincers’ of a regular crane, instead, it has a large flat magnet which
draws the metallic materials to it.

Using the principle induction, these large machines are used to handle scrap ferrous
metals, such as iron and steel, which can be found in junk yards and recycling plants.
Beyond the area of lifting magnetic materials, another use of an electromagnetic crane is
that it makes for smooth and safe stops due to its solenoid brakes (electrically controlled
brakes which can be turned on and off by a solenoid). These brakes are the ones being
used on movable bridges as it allows the passage of boats and barges

COMPONENTS (BAGIAN-BAGIAN)

CONSTRUCTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC CRANE


Our electromagnetic crane consists of number of components, they are as follows-

1. Base of the crane.


2. Two wheels.
3. 3 DC Motors
4. Two switches
5. 2 Batteries
6. 2 Pulleys
7. Belt-pulley arrangement
8. A wire rope
9. Frame
10. Solenoid
11. A wire
12. A roller support
13. A joystick
COMPONENTS EXPLANATION

3.3.1 BASE – base is a main part of our electromagnetic crane, and all component of
the crane are situated on the base. The mechanical properties of base (strength,
toughness, hardness) should be high.
3.3.2 TWO WHEELS- these are situated under the base of the crane, they support
all the weight of the crane. By the help of these crane these tyres crane goes to the
desire direction. the properties of wheels of our electromagnetic crane is that they
can rotate freely.
3.3.3 3DC MOTOR- two dc motors we are using in two wheels respectively by the
help of which wheels can rotate freely in desire directionand the remaining one dc
motor is used to drive belt pulley arrangement.
3.3.4 TWO SWITCHES- we are using two switches here to supply the current
whenever needed .In electronics, a switch is an electrical component that can break an
electrical circuit, interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to another.
The most familiar form of switch is a manually operated electromechanical device with
one or more sets of electrical contacts. Each set of contacts can be in one of two states:
either 'closed' meaning the contacts are touching and electricity can flow between them,
or 'open', meaning the contacts are separated and non-conducting.
3.3.5 TWO BATTERIS- By the help of battery supply of current go to the solenoid
and one dc motor (which is connected to belt pulley arrangement).
3.3.6 TWO PULLEEYS- there is one pulley is connected to dc motor with the belt
to derive shaft on which one end of wire is fixed and other end of wire is hang on
other pulley to lift and drop the load at desired placed.
3.3.7 BELT-PULLEY ARRANGEMENT- In this arrangement there is a belt
and a two pulleys. One of them(driving pulley) is mounted on the DC motor shaft
and another one (driven pulley) is mounted on the shaft .
3.3.8 A WIRE ROPE-We are using a wire rope by which solenoid is hang.
3.3.9 FRAME-A frame is situated on the base, maximum arrangements of our project
is mounted on this frame.
3.3.10 SOLENOID-It is the main key element of the project. It is the one which will
raise or leave the work piece.
3.3.11 A WIRE- A wire connects the battery (power source) to the solenoid.
3.3.12 A ROLLER SUPPORT- There is a roller support under the base which
supports the crane from the front part.
3.3.13 A JOYSTICK- We are using a joystick to drive the crane in the desired
direction. In this joystick there are two cells which are acting as a power source.
OPERATIONS

WORKING

Working of electromagnetic crane is as follows-

An electromagnetic crane has a very simple working. First of all, we shall take the crane in its
desired position i.e. From where the scrap materials/flat sheets of ferrous material to be lifted .
Now, we shall down the pulley near the metal sheet, after that operator will turn ON the switch
so that the current will flow in coil wire around the iron core. By which there will generate a
strong magnetic field which will pick up that ferrous metal sheet by force of attraction. After that
we shall drive crane by the help of joystick at desire place by the operator (where ferrous metal
sheet have to put down). And now, operator will turn OFF the switch and thus flow of current
will stop and metal sheet will be put in desire place.
