Abstract:

An automatic segment erection system for a medium and a small diameter shield has been developed. The erection system consists of a segment automatic conveyance device, a flatcar for temporary storage of a segment and an automatic erector device. This system has automated a series of events until rough positioning of a segment has been achieved. It effectively utilizes a narrow working space, improves the working environment, makes rapid progress in the area of maneuverability, it is labor saving and safe. It also realizes a higher speed of execution compared to the conventional segment erection operation system. This report describes a synopsis of the system and the results of an in-situ verification experiment.
