Fabrication and Machining for Large Steel Swing Bridge Slewing Mechanism

This part belongs to a slewing mechanism of the support assembly, which makes the bridge rotatable by 180°. The outer diameter of the body is 18.5 meters, and it weighs over 50 tons.

The 500 mm precision bearing guide rail is a key element of the component, it machined by a vertical lathe, which has a maximum turning diameter of 22 meters. And the track has a slope of 1.34°, the profile tolerance is only 0.1 mm. Finally, we meet all the requirements by a 30,000 meters length of cut turning program.

Openex provides a wide range of custom metalworking, especially in heavy duty metal fabrication and machining from the medium parts to large complex assemblies.
