Moving equipment
Equipments are the necessary items, tools, implements which are required to perform and complete task easily, fast and in enhanced ways. Some of the equipments are used for protection. Equipments can be classified as moving and non-moving equipments. Non-moving equipments are that equipment which do not have moving parts like wheels, gears and engine or do not have any arrangement for moving. Moving equipments are those equipments that can move from one place to other and have arrangement for moving by self propelling power or by external force. These equipments are used to move other things and materials such as dizzier, power shovel, pulley etc. Moving equipments can be used commercially or domestically.
Some of the commercial fields of using moving equipments are:
1. Earth Moving Equipments
2. Farmers Moving Equipments
3. Mining Equipments
4. Tunnel Boring Equipments
5. Industrial Equipments
Earth moving equipments: These instruments are used to move, level and to dig pits. These instruments can be simple like domestic shovel or a big shovel of bulldozer.
Bulldozers: They are used for leveling ground by using front mounded like section with blades facing the front. These strong blades are made of steel coated with tungsten. Bulldozer have tank like moving arrangements. It moves with its belt this is done to give high grip to the machine.
Dump Truck: Dump trucks are used to carry soil. They have open top carrier rear side of carrier is clamped and other side is fitted with hydraulic ram. This arrangement makes front side of carrier to elevate than rear one and the dump is removed from the carrier.
Farmers Moving Equipments: Out of many types of equipment the best farmers equipment is the tractor. It is a multipurpose instrument which can be equipped with different land plowing blades, rollers, load carriers or trolleys.
Thresher: Main function of this instrument is to separate grains from the hem. Threshers have a cutting section in the front and outlet section to the side. Tractor trolleys: Tractor trolleys are used to transport food grains and other materials to market. These trolleys are joined at the back of the tractor with screw and bolt arrangement. These trolleys can be of single axis or double axis.
Counter carts: They are used for seed plantation. This instrument places seeds in a row sequentially in plowed land. Some are self powered while some have to be mounted with tractor.
Rotary hoe: It is a wheel rotating about its axis having blades on the edge. Rotary hoe consist of 6 to12 blades of similar size. This equipment removes weeds from the soil and aerates soil for better nitrogen fixing. Mining Equipments: Mining industry needs big land moving digging, and transporting equipments. In fact mining equipments used in open fields are biggest of all earth moving equipments. They are Draglines, dumpers, blast hole drills etc.
Dragliners: Dragliners are used to remove earth form the mining fields. They have a shovel mounded at the leaver moved with hydraulic ram or mechanically by cables and pulley arrangement.
Blast hole drills: Blasting is an important task. In order to make a proper blast proper drilling to the earth is to be made. It is done with blast hole drills. This drill is long rode mounded at a movable truck. This drilling rod is moved to ground by rotary movement of the drill.
Tunnel Boring Equipments: In Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) tunnel is bored by rotating disk mounded with cutters. To transport conveyer belt is used and the complete section is moved forward using hydraulic arrangements.
Cutters: Cutters are semi-circular high quality tungsten thick disk. This is mounded perpendicular to the surface of rotating disk.
Conveyer belt: Conveyer belt is a long belt which moves over a set of fixed rollers and carries dump to outer section.
Drillers: To make blast in tunnel section hand held drillers are used. Modern drillers are remote operated placed on the wheeled platform. Drilling road vibrates perpendicular to the drilling surface with a continuous shower of cool water
Industrial Equipments: There are many machines in a factory performing different tasks. To move the material to other machine or to store instruments like cranes, Fork lift, Conveyer belt, trolleys robotic arms etc. are used. Some of them are discussed below:
Crane: Crane is a lifting device. It lifts object and places it to appropriate destination. Industrial cranes moves within a factory over a guided steel tracks suspended from the top. Crane has a pulley suspended with steel cables.
Fork lift: Fork lift is used to move packed goods from one place to other. This is a motor powered vehicle having shape section on the front which is used to carry load.
Robotic arms: Robotic arm is a human arm like structure controlled by computer. Robotic arm hold object in its jaws and moves to nearby destination.
