Automatic pile punching machine
The SUGONG team has been professionally researching humanoid control technology for pile-driving rigs for over a decade. Building on their extensive manufacturing and application experience, and in close collaboration with site-specific operational requirements, they have developed two types of automated pile-driving rigs—using independently patented smart technologies: one featuring pneumatic clutches and the other electromechanical clutches. These rigs can self-sense the dynamic tension in steel cables, respond autonomously, and adapt accordingly, ensuring stable impact performance and effectively preventing accidents such as hammer jamming, hammer sticking, tail-up incidents, and frame overturning.
The clutch and brake of the pneumatic clutch winch are operated in a human-like manner by cylinders that respond to control signals. By adjusting the air pressure, you can change the strength of both the clutch engagement and the braking force. By adjusting the stroke of the cylinder, you can modify the clearance of the clutch and the travel distance of the brake.
The clutch and brake of the electromechanical winch are operated by a force-based mechanical actuator that mimics human movements according to given instructions. The force and stroke of the brake and clutch can be freely adjusted on the operator interface, and the speed of the falling hammer can also be set freely.
There are two structural types of clutch-type winches: end-clutch type (2–16 tons) and mid-clutch type (20–50 tons).
The pile-driving rig’s frame comes in four types: single-arm fixed type, single-arm lifting type, herringbone-arm fixed type, and herringbone-arm lifting type.

Basic characteristics |
Function Description |
| Dynamic hammer pull force demonstration | On the system’s control interface, the lifting force of the wire rope is dynamically displayed, allowing users to intuitively understand the current operating conditions. The control system also uses this information to autonomously determine whether the hammer is stuck or adhered. |
| Dynamic hammer lift height display | On the system’s control interface, the lifting height of the impact hammer is displayed dynamically, allowing users to intuitively understand the current operating conditions. The control system also uses this information to autonomously determine whether there is a risk of overtravel. |
| Autonomous Response of Sticky Hammers and Jammed Hammers | When the hammer-pulling force exceeds the upper limit and the hammer-pulling speed falls below the lower limit, the system recognizes this as a jammed-hammer condition and autonomously attempts to extract the hammer repeatedly in a human-like manner. |
| Autonomous protection for flipping racks | After a hammering or sticking of the hammer, there will be a significant risk of overturning. When the control system detects a trend indicating an increased risk of overturning, it will proactively shut down the winch. |
| Freely adjustable hammer height | During the automatic pile-driving process, users can independently set or adjust the lifting height of the impact hammer. |
| Freely adjustable elastic cord | During the automated piling process, users can adjust the tension of the steel wire rope and, taking into account the geological conditions, set the desired tension level (the unloaded tensile stroke of the steel wire rope). |
| Self-adjusting elastic cord | During the hammering process, the control system dynamically analyzes the no-load tension stroke of the steel wire rope, compares it with the preset tension settings, and autonomously adjusts the tension level for the next hammer blow, adapting the feed rate to different geological conditions. |
| Free switching between singles and doubles modes | In single-player mode, after the hammer head hits the bottom, the drive clutch engages to lift the hammer without applying the brake. In double-player mode, after the hammer head hits the bottom, the drive clutch engages to lift the hammer only after first bringing the hammer head to a complete stop (adopting a semi-air hammer approach to handle complex geological conditions). |
| Adjustment of the clutch clearance for the pneumatic clutch winch | Properly adjust the drive stroke of the clutch cylinder to modify the clutch clearance of the pneumatic clutch winch (if the clearance is too large, the response will be slow; if the clearance is too small, separation will be incomplete). |
| Adjusting the clutch engagement force of the pneumatic clutch winch | Properly adjust the driving air pressure of the clutch cylinder to modify the clamping force of the pneumatic clutch winch. (If the clamping force is too high, the clutch may fail to disengage; if it’s too low, the clutch may slip.) |
| Bottom-dropping plummet for the pneumatic clutch winch | Reverse the hoist motor; as the clutch cylinder pushes outward to drive the mechanism, simultaneously release the brake cylinder. After the user observes that the hammer head has reached its bottom position, operate the clutch cylinder to retract while the brake cylinder pushes outward, thereby bringing the hammer head to a stop. |
| Adjustment of the clutch clearance for the electromechanical clutch winch | On the operation interface, you can directly adjust the drive stroke of the clutch actuator to modify the clutch clearance of the electromechanical clutch winch. (If the clearance is too large, the response will be sluggish; if it’s too small, the clutch won’t disengage cleanly.) |
| Adjusting the clutch engagement force of the electromechanical clutch winch | On the operation interface, you can directly adjust the driving force of the clutch actuator to modify the engagement force of the electromechanical clutch winch. (If the engagement force is too high, the clutch may fail to disengage; if it’s too low, the clutch may slip.) |
| Constant-speed drop hammer for electromechanical clutch winch | On the operation interface, you can set the speed of the drop hammer. The control system compares this dynamic hammer speed and dynamically adjusts the braking force of the electromechanical clutch winch, ensuring that the hammer head descends at a constant speed. Once the hammer reaches the bottom, it automatically brakes and stops. |
