Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the BOSS® (Brake Only Snag System) developed by DELLNER BUBENZER, designed to manage the kinetic energy in cranes operating at high speeds, preventing damage during snag incidents.

Physical Background
A snag occurs when a crane's spreader or container jams during upward motion, especially at high speeds, leading to potential damage due to increased rope tension.

Snag Detection
The system uses four two-channel load pins installed at strategic points to continuously monitor rope forces, enabling quick detection of snags.

Fast Reaction
Upon snag detection, the system rapidly reduces motor speeds to zero using fast-closing brakes, specifically the SB28.3 service brakes with BUEL® thrusters, achieving a stopping time of 100 to 200ms.

BOSS® Innovation
The BOSS® system improves upon conventional systems by using variable tripping points based on load and speed, allowing for faster detection and reduced stress on crane components.

System Operation
The BOSS® system operates in a series of steps, from detecting overloads to applying full braking torque, ensuring the hoist motion stops within 100 to 200ms.

Key Components
  • Two-Channel load pins with high-speed amplifiers
  • BOSS® PLC with integrated overload weighing system
  • SB and SF brakes with BUEL® thrusters


Advantages
  • Fastest reaction time
  • Precise control
  • TÜV certified
  • Dynamic snag trip point setting
  • No maintenance required
  • Easy retrofitting

BOSS® - BRAKE ONLY SNAG SYSTEM BOSS®- BRAKE ONLY SNAG SYSTEM PHYSICAL BACKGROUND Today cranes are able to hoist with 180m/min using huge motors up to 1000kW and more. Using huge equipment means also handling huge inertia that must be accelerated and stopped. The energy that has to be controlled by the hoist is increasing with the square of the lifting speed. In a snag case motors and couplings are still rotating for a short period of time whereas the container or the empty spreader has been already stopped. During this period of time all kinetic energy has to be absorbed by the wire ropes. The...

HOW DOES THE BOSS® SYSTEM WORKS? LOAD PINS SERVICE BRAKE EMERGENCY BRAKE HOIST MOTION Load pins are detecting an overload on one or more corners. BOSS® PLC will cut off power for BUEL® H thrusters, service brakes and BUEL® G for emergency brakes and hoist motors. The electrical reaction time is only 20ms until the brakes are switched off. Service brakes apply full braking torque within 36ms after power off. Emergency brakes apply full braking torque within 70ms after power off. Hoist motion will be stopped after 10 to 110ms. The total stopping time from snag detection to stand still is between...
