An Air Wipe Based Grease Removing and Saving Device for Anti-Twist Rope

Abstract:

In order to guarantee work security and extend the life span of ropes, it is required that anti-twist ropes used in tensile stringing receive grease protection in time. However, the extra grease on the ropes should be recycled. Then, a grease removing and saving device was designed for such purposes by using an air wipe. It is believed that air wipe is better than other tools in grease removing because of its powerful function. To fully realize the grease removing function, we designed mechanisms to accurately position wire rope and prevent collisions between the rope and air wipe, calculated air consumption and supply pressure and designed a pneumatic control system. The device works well in practice, and the applications showed that the removing process was simple and the amount of the removal grease is easy to control.
