프로펠러 턴오버 장치 개발

Development of a propeller turn-over system

During the manufacturing process of a propeller for a large scale commercial ships, several times of turn-over process should be required. Propeller turn-over is a indispensible process but not easy because of its heavy weight and complicate shape. Recently, we developed a new type of turn-over system for a large scale propeller. The system consists of turning roller devices, sliding transfer system, clamping devices and so on. In this paper, we described the design process which includes mechanical structure design, dynamic analysis and assembly with a laser tracker.
