Aiming at solving the problems existing in a lifting device of electrolytic lead residual anode washing production line, this article proposes an solution on basis of the electro-hydraulic digital valve control system, then simulates the improved system using the software of MATLAB, the results show that the improved system has better repeat precision, simpler operation and maintenance and stronger anti-jamming capability by using the electro-hydraulic digital valve control technology; adopting the hydraulic cylinder as powerplant avoids the impact load during operation and gets a better control accuracy of the anode plate’ velocity and position; the high precision double cylinder synchro-control system is achieved by using the master-slave control strategy.
