Safety-Certified Positioning and Anti-Collision System at Steel Mill Cranes (Room Virtual)

Modern and automated electric overhead traveling cranes or hoist systems require safe position monitoring and anti-collision systems. Also personal and equipment below the load has to be protected in a safe way. This technical paper shows on the basis of three different examples how to improve by changing to state-of-the-art encoder technology:
> Higher precision and lower costs at positioning of ladles.
> More safety for personal and equipment.
> First available safety-certified positioning and anti-collision system at steel mill cranes – independent from fog, dust or other influences.
