Doosan LYNX220A CNC Lathe Transportation: A Complete Case Study
Project Overview
This case study documents the successful transportation of a 2010 Doosan LYNX220A CNC lathe from a manufacturing facility in Seoul to a new location in Busan, South Korea. The project showcases best practices for handling precision machinery during relocation.
Machine Specifications
- Model: Doosan LYNX220A
- Year: 2010
- Weight: 4,200 kg (9,260 lbs)
- Dimensions: 3,200mm x 1,800mm x 2,100mm
- Chuck Size: 8-inch
- Max Turning Diameter: 220mm
- Condition: Excellent working condition
Pre-Transport Assessment
Machine Evaluation
Our team conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the CNC lathe before transportation:
1. Mechanical Condition: All moving parts inspected and documented
2. Electrical Systems: Control panel and wiring harness checked
3. Hydraulic Systems: Oil levels checked and system pressure tested
4. Tooling Inventory: All cutting tools and fixtures catalogued
5. Documentation: Operating manuals and maintenance records collected
Transportation Planning
- Route Analysis: 350km journey with bridge weight restrictions
- Equipment Requirements: 25-ton mobile crane and lowboy trailer
- Permits: Overweight permit obtained for combined load
- Timeline: 2-day project including disassembly and reassembly
Preparation Procedures
Machine Preparation (Day 1)
1. Power Disconnection: Main electrical supply safely disconnected
2. Fluid Drainage: Hydraulic oil (45 liters) and coolant completely drained
3. Component Removal:
- Chuck and tailstock removed and packed separately
- Tool turret secured in transport position
- Control panel covers installed for protection
4. Cleaning: Machine surfaces cleaned to prevent contamination during transport
Rigging Preparation
- Lifting Points: Manufacturer-specified lifting points identified on base casting
- Weight Distribution: Center of gravity calculated at 1,600mm from headstock
- Rigging Hardware: Grade 8 lifting chains and spreader bars prepared
- Safety Equipment: Secondary rigging installed as backup
Loading Process
Equipment Setup
- Mobile Crane: 25-ton Tadano positioned with 8-meter reach
- Trailer: Lowboy trailer with hydraulic ramps and tie-down points
- Support Equipment: Machinery skates and alignment tools
Step-by-Step Loading
1. Initial Lift: Machine lifted 200mm to test rigging stability
2. Transport Position: Slowly moved to trailer centerline
3. Lowering: Carefully lowered onto trailer bed with precision positioning
4. Securing: Multiple tie-down points using chains and ratchet straps
Transportation Safety Measures
Securing Methods
- Primary Securing: Four Grade 70 transport chains (3/8" diameter)
- Secondary Securing: Six heavy-duty ratchet straps (10,000 lb capacity)
- Blocking: Custom steel chocking blocks welded to trailer
- Protection: Rubber padding at all contact points
Route and Speed Management
- Maximum Speed: 45 mph on highways, 25 mph in urban areas
- Route Selection: Avoided construction zones and low bridges
- Communication: Escort vehicle with radio contact maintained
- Weather Monitoring: Transport delayed during heavy rain
Unloading and Installation
Site Preparation
- Foundation: Concrete pad leveled to within Β±0.1mm tolerance
- Utilities: Electrical connections prepared (440V, 3-phase)
- Environmental: Climate-controlled environment maintained
Unloading Process
1. Site Inspection: Unloading area and crane position verified
2. Reverse Procedure: Loading process reversed with same precautions
3. Positioning: Machine positioned using precision moving equipment
4. Anchor Installation: Foundation bolts installed and torqued to specification
Post-Transport Procedures
Machine Recommissioning
1. Leveling: Machine leveled using precision instruments
2. Alignment: Spindle and carriage alignment verified
3. Fluid Refill: Hydraulic system refilled and tested
4. Electrical Reconnection: All electrical connections restored and tested
5. Calibration: Machine accuracy verified with test parts
Quality Verification
- Dimensional Accuracy: Β±0.005mm tolerance verified
- Surface Finish: Ra 1.6 Β΅m surface finish achieved
- Operational Testing: 8-hour continuous operation test completed
- Final Inspection: Customer acceptance and sign-off obtained
Challenges and Solutions
Challenge 1: Weight Distribution
Issue: Original lifting points created uneven weight distribution
Solution: Custom spreader beam designed to balance load properly
Challenge 2: Height Restrictions
Issue: Combined height exceeded bridge clearance by 15cm
Solution: Route modified to avoid restricted bridges, adding 45 minutes to journey
Challenge 3: Precision Requirements
Issue: Customer required sub-micron accuracy after relocation
Solution: Professional machine alignment service performed post-transport
