Розумні функції для мостових кранів
Most Konecranes overhead traveling cranes can be equipped with Smart Features, software that gives you greater control over the material handling in your production processes. From the moment your operators take charge of the crane, their work gets easier.
Operators become more efficient due to shorter load cycle times, helping increase productivity. Because the control system optimizes crane movement, your crane and its components wear more slowly, extending the life of the crane. Most importantly, safety improves, because there is much less chance of human error.
There are several Smart Features that give you more control over your lifting than ever before. They are available for rope hoist cranes and open winch cranes and in all industrial applications.
Smart Features bring steady movement with maximum load control, leading to improved productivity with shorter load cycle times as well as greater safety for your operators and work environment.
Sway Control
Sway Control limits the load swing that can lead to production delays and downtime. Without the distraction of managing load sway, crane operators can focus on their surrounding environment to select a safe traveling path for faster load handling and more precise positioning.
A recent study confirmed that cranes with Sway Control are 60% faster than those without.
Inching
Inching improves accuracy by allowing the operator to move the load in small increments of 2 mm to 100 mm. The crane stops after it has moved the set inching distance. Operators can set increments on the user interface when starting up the crane, with the possibility to program a different distance for each motion.
Microspeed
Microspeed allows operators to preprogram the controls anywhere from 1% to 99% of the full speed range. Instead of moving the joystick only a tiny amount to control the crane at a slow speed, crane operators can use the full range of the joystick’s movement while still not going over their maximum desired speed.
Snag Prevention
Snag Prevention constantly monitors the rope angle and automatically stops crane movement if a hook, sling or load accidentally catches on something while the trolley or bridge is in motion. This helps minimize damage to the crane, load or other machinery nearby.
Smart Features also give you more control over the working area of the crane, improving the efficiency and accuracy of load positioning by adapting the available space to the physical layout of your production line.
Target Positioning
Target Positioning moves the load from one of eight home positions to one of 120 possible preset target positions within a predefined area. The crane slows down, stops and lowers the load at the set target point. Just one button automatically returns the crane to its home location.
Protected Areas
Protected Areas allocates up to 16 permanent “no-go” zones to limit the crane’s movements to preset working areas only. This feature maximizes crane operating space, while helping to reduce the risk of accidents, equipment collisions and load damage.
End Positioning
End Positioning allows operators to set the exact destination of a load and the outside area, or “window” for manual navigation. Once the operator brings the crane to the window, the End Positioning button automatically sends the crane to its final position. As a safety feature, the operator lowers the load manually to complete the movement.
The Konecranes S-series is a bold re-imagining of our industry standard rope hoist overhead crane—with mechanical innovations, a redesigned structure, revolutionary synthetic rope and unique Smart Features that work together seamlessly to enable smooth and accurate load positioning with total control.
The Konecranes SMARTON is a compact open winch crane, developed specifically for assembly and maintenance use, where highly accurate and smooth movements are required. Equipped with wide range of Smart Features, the SMARTON crane provides total control over material handling, with outstanding safety and load cycle times.
We believe that Konecranes Smart Features represent the most advanced crane technology on the market today. Based on many years of customer feedback, they are designed to meet the requirements for advanced lifting needs. We can put them on your new Konecranes orders, but we can also install them on your existing Konecranes equipment, or in a multi-crane feature package that fits your specific production processes.
