An automatic adjustable stroke device for a random orbital machine has a housing with a central axis and a wall defining a cavity. A counterbalance shaft assembly is rotatably disposed at least partially within the cavity. A shaft portion of the counterweight shaft assemblies aligned with the central axis. A mounting assembly is disposed at least partially within the cavity. The mounting assembly has a workpiece attachment mechanism. A stroke adjuster couples the counterweight shaft with the mounting assembly. The stroke adjuster enables the mounting assembly to adjust its stroke upon rotation of counterweight shaft. The mounting assembly variably adjusts a stroke radius of the workpiece attachment mechanism with respect to the central axis of the housing. The stroke adjuster has a gear automatically adjusting the mounting assembly stroke.

Method for reinforcing concrete-filled steel tubular column with outer concrete-filled steel tube

Disclosed are a method and equipment for reinforcing a concrete-filled steel tubular column with an outer concrete-filled steel tube. The method includes following steps: step 1, grinding and derusting an outer wall of a concrete-filled steel tubular column to be reinforced by an auxiliary device; step 2, welding two prefabricated semi-rectangular steel plates in advance, forming a complete rectangular steel tube with the two semi-rectangular steel plates and sleeving the rectangular steel tube outside the concrete-filled steel tubular column to be reinforced; and step 3, filling self-compacting concrete between the outer wall of the concrete-filled steel tubular column to be reinforced and an inner wall of the rectangular steel tube to complete a reinforcement.
