CRANE SYSTEMS

Crane systems or a crane is a device used to lift material and move it to another place. Usually, a crane consists of hoist, trolleys, wheels and end carriages or bearings for the slewing mechanism on the jib crane and a control system. As well as hoist, a crane can also be operated manually without using electric motors. For small lifting capacities and in small areas, for example in small workshops or workstations we can use a manual crane. Cranes which using electric motors can be applied various features that increase its superiority. Along with the development of technology, integrated control systems are widely used.

 

This equipment is commonly used in the transport industry for the loading and unloading of freight, in the construction industry for the movement of materials, and in the manufacturing industry for the assembling of heavy equipment. The types of cranes we supply include Overhead Travelling Cranes, Gantry Cranes, Jib Cranes, Wall Running Jib Cranes, Light Crane (Workstation Cranes), Container Cranes and Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes. We also provide excellent after-sales services so you don’t have to worry about spare parts availability. Our technicians are always ready to provide solutions if problems occur in the field.

RTG is also widely used at a stockyard in steel fabrication and precast industries. Being mobile, RTG often powered by generator sets of 100 to 600 kW.

Some standard features and additional features that can be applied to our crane systems:

1. Programmable Control Unit.

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) prevents not only the breakdowns arising from operator misusage, but also it enables monitoring of the FEM data; such as running time, motor starts, work cycles and emergency stops, providing visibility to crane usage. To prevent operator-inducted faults and also provides brake and inverter monitoring. In case the hoisting motor has two speeds, it is only possible to start and stop the motor at the lowest speed (except the emergency stop) despite the operator’s instant speed changing commands. This prevents wear on the brake and the hoist. Also, fault recordings appearing on the controller screen, makes it possible to correct the fault more accurately and quickly.

2. Predictive Maintenance Application.

Through this application, you can easily follow up the maintenance periods.

3. Anti-Sway System.

Since linear ramps are used as the standard for crane horizontal motions, the load sways during acceleration or deceleration. Either when the motion is activated or during acceleration, the trolley or bridge will start to the move first and then the load will follow. Similarly, when the crane is commanded to stop or during deceleration, the trolley or bridge will slow down first and the load will follow. Thus, a pendulumlike oscillation will occur on the suspended load. Due to this oscillation, problems on control and positioning are experienced. To stop this oscillation without using any special control units, the operator and assistants try to stop sways by holding the load with hand, or the experienced operator reduces the oscillation by applying reaction motions in respect to sways. These operations primarily jeopardize field and employee safety. Secondly, it causes loss of operation time.

 

Benefits of Anti-sway applications :

  • More safety and less accident risk.
  • Protects load and hoist, so reduces the need for the maintenance.
  • Reduces the responsibility of the operator and accordingly provides more concentration on work.
  • With a low cycle time (up to 25%), it saves operating time and provides low energy costs especially for automatic machines.

4. Load Status Indicator Screen.

The load/status display screens can be applied in two ways on our cranes :

  • External Display Screen. The weight of the handled load is displayed on the hoist. It can be seen easily at night and during daytime from 50 meters distance. Error, warning and situation information are provided to the user when necessary.
  • With Radio Remote Control. With the LCD on the optionally provided radio remote controls, it’s possible to monitor the handled weight, error, warning, and system status information.

5. Tandem Mode

Provides managing of two or more cranes from a single control unit, where multiple cranes are required to be operated synchronously. With additional wireless communication between the cranes, it is ensured that all cranes stop functioning in case any failure of any one of the cranes.

6. Fully and Semi-Automatic Process Applications

We develop software’s suitable for our customer’s processes and provide trouble-free for continuous operation.

7. Load Dependent Speed Control

Through the load cell on the hoist, it recognizes if it’s loaded or not and the idle crane is operated faster to expedite the processes. The load-dependent speed settings are adjusted so as not to stress the hoisting and travel motors. The speed is adjusted be changeable inversely proportional to the handled load, i.e. the speed decreases as the load increases, and it increases as the load decreases.

Load Depended Speed Control

8. Electronic Overload Control

The hoists are equipped with overload application to ensure the safety of the crane and their surroundings. According to European Standard EN 12077-2, it is stipulated to use a safety device which stops the system when hoists are overloaded. The electronic overload application also enables following up the safe working period of the cranes.

9. Variable Frequency Drive

The variable frequency drive used in the system provides speed control when the crane is accelerated or decelerated. Soft stops and starts to protect the hoist from immediate shocks and impacts, allowing a longer lifetime. If requested, the operator can control the crane at any speed within the set speed range.

Variable Frequency Drive

10. Anti-Crab System

On cranes with wide bridge spans, excessive stress and wear occur on the wheels due to different reasons such as uneven rails, differences in wheel diameters, differences in the motor slip, wheel slip on the rail and unbalanced situation of the load. The anti-crab system detects the speed of the crane over the rail to prevent erosion on rail tracks and adjusts the speed to prevent misalignment and slip.
