Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of induction hardening technology, specifically to an electromagnetic gripper feeding device suitable for track links. Background Technology

[0002] Track links are core connecting components in engineering machinery track systems, used to connect track shoes with support rollers, idlers, and other components to ensure the stable operation of the track system. Therefore, in practical applications, they need to possess hardness, toughness, and wear resistance. In actual production, induction heating is often used to treat track links to improve their required performance. In daily production, track links are often divided into left and right links. When loading onto machine tools, different grippers need to be designed according to the shapes of the left and right links, increasing production costs. A single gripper has a limited range of applications. Therefore, an electromagnetic gripper loading device suitable for track links is designed based on specific requirements. Utility Model Content
