Recently, the domestic curtain wall engineering field has ushered in an inflection point of intelligent upgrading. The intelligent vacuum glass lift developed by a certain technology company has completed actual combat verification in more than 20 super-high-rise landmark projects such as Shenzhen Ping An Financial Center and Shanghai Tower. With millimeter-level positioning accuracy and omnidirectional operation capabilities, the equipment successfully solved the installation problem of special-shaped curtain walls, marking that my country's high-altitude construction equipment has officially entered the era of digital intelligent control.
Core technology reconstructs the operation paradigm
As the world's first curtain wall-specific equipment that achieves omnidirectional positioning in three-dimensional space, its innovative integrated full-digital variable frequency drive system and ball-type adapter mechanism enable 2-ton glass panels to complete 180° posture flip and 1.2-meter telescopic displacement, with a positioning accuracy of ±1mm. The project's actual measurement shows that in the curved curtain wall installation scenario, the installation time of a single piece of glass is compressed from 45 minutes of traditional technology to 18 minutes, and the efficiency is improved by 150%. What is more noteworthy is its smart energy management system. Through dual-mode fast charging and kinetic energy recovery technology, the equipment life is increased by 40%, and a single unit can reduce carbon emissions by 12 tons per year.
Three models are adapted to multiple scenarios
For the complex working conditions in the construction industry, this product innovatively builds a modular solution: the standard step-by-step model meets conventional needs with a lifting speed of 3.8m/min; the folding upright model innovatively adopts a space-grade hinge structure, and the storage size is only 1.2m×0.8m, which solves the problem of equipment deployment in narrow spaces; the flagship car-type model is equipped with a panoramic AR operating system and a millimeter-wave radar array to achieve intelligent obstacle avoidance and path planning in an altitude environment of 120 meters. At present, the three types of models have formed a 300-2000kg dynamic load coverage network, showing unique advantages in special scenes such as the curved dome of the airport terminal and the cantilevered curtain wall of the city exhibition hall.
Industrial upgrading gives birth to new quality productivity
According to feedback from application companies, the equipment reduces the number of high-altitude workers in a single project by 60% and reduces the overall cost of the project by 35%. More importantly, its digital control system fully records construction data and establishes a full life cycle database for curtain wall projects. Industry experts pointed out that with the deep connection between the equipment 5G module and the BIM system, a new operation mode of "digital twin + intelligent equipment" will be realized in the future, which is expected to further shorten the curtain wall project cycle of super high-rise buildings by 30%, providing a key technical support for the transformation of building industrialization.
At present, the equipment has passed the EU CE certification, and engineering companies in many countries such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia have started procurement negotiations. China's smart manufacturing is redefining the global standards for high-altitude construction equipment.
