Material Handling Automation Crane Labor Easy Measurement Sensor Solution
The industrial crane system undertakes the key tasks of cargo handling and storage in factories, and the automated crane system has been widely used in the field of internal logistics due to its efficiency and convenience. In the automated crane system, various sensors play a core role, not only ensuring the reliability of the handling process, but also significantly improving the production efficiency and operational stability of the equipment, while providing strong guarantees for the safety of personnel and materials.
laser positioning system
Application requirements: Cranes or pulleys need to perform high-precision positioning based on the target position, and the positioning process must have anti-interference ability to ensure the continuity and accuracy of the handling task.
Solution: The AMS 300i laser positioning system can quickly determine the distance to mobile devices with extremely high absolute accuracy, with a measurement range of up to 300m. The system provides real-time measurement data at millisecond intervals through industrial Ethernet and fieldbus interfaces, supporting dynamic adjustment and ensuring accurate positioning.
Barcode positioning system
Application requirement: In a working environment where multiple cranes share the same guide rail, each device needs to achieve independent and accurate positioning to avoid mutual interference or collision. In addition, the system needs to have high stability, durability, and adapt to harsh industrial environments, while also being easy to install and maintain to reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
Solution: The compact barcode positioning system BPS 300i provides high-precision positioning, supports multiple interfaces, and is easy to integrate into control systems. Its self-adhesive barcode tape is optimized for industrial environments and has extremely strong wear resistance. Even in the case of multiple cranes working together, the system can still ensure the independent positioning accuracy of each device, effectively avoid collision risks, and ensure the orderly progress of handling operations.
Data transmission solution
Application requirement: Real time data transmission is the key to ensuring efficient system operation. The data needs to be transmitted wirelessly to the gantry crane or trolley through industrial Ethernet protocols such as PROFINET, EtherCAT, or Ethernet TCP/IP, with a transmission rate of 100 Mbit/s.
Solution: The DDLS 500 data transmission optical communication sensor is equipped with an industrial Ethernet interface, supporting data transmission rates of up to 100 Mbit/s. Its built-in calibration laser and pre installed base plate simplify the equipment calibration process. In addition, the integrated network server supports remote diagnosis, ensuring fast troubleshooting and meeting the real-time control and high-speed data transmission requirements of the crane system.
Anti collision protection
Application requirement: In the operation scenario where multiple cranes share guide rails, the collision risk significantly increases. Therefore, the system needs to monitor the distance between cranes in real time and trigger alarms or automatic braking when the distance is too close to ensure operational safety.
Solution: The optical ranging sensor ODS 10/HT 10 can measure the distance between various cranes, with a standard detection range of up to 8 meters. When combined with a reflector for measurement, the detection range can reach 25 meters. The sensor provides real-time distance data to the control system through analog or digital output, ensuring timely warning and intervention, effectively reducing collision risks.
Identify the end position of the device
Application requirement: The crane or pulley must be able to accurately identify its end position to prevent collision accidents caused by exceeding the safety range.
Solution: The IS 244 series proximity switch can accurately detect the end position of the crane or pulley. Due to the sensor area supporting five directional alignment, the installation is flexible and can adapt to different layouts of crane systems. Multiple connection options enable it to meet the needs of different application scenarios, providing a reliable solution for end position recognition.
