Konecranes Radio controls Moving tons with just THE flick of a finger A crane is typically controlled from a distance. The usual way of controlling a regular assembly workshop crane is by using a pendant controller hanging from the crane or wirelessly with a radio control. In some special applications and full automation cranes, the control method can be a cabin or a separate control room or even a sophisticated ERP system. A crane radio control needs a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is a handheld device for the crane operator and the interface between a crane and an operator. The...

Infra-key module and principle Focus with a connecting cable to the receiver Infrared beam (max. 20 m) On/Horn push-button INFRA-KEY Infra-key is an additional infrared module for crane activation between the transmitter and the receiver. It prevents the crane from becoming inadvertently enabled, thus increasing safety. The range of the infrared beam is approximately 20 meters.

Konecranes Radio controls MiniJoystick radio ERGONOMIC IN DESIGN, ROBUST IN STRUCTURE Konecranes MiniJoystick radio takes the ergonomy of controlling cranes to the next level. It is lightweight, easy to use and starts up fast. The joystick is for controlling the travelling movement of the crane and hoist, and the buttons are for lifting and lowering. The joystick allows the user to control the load with just a single grip and enables the operator to concentrate fully on the load. MiniJoystick radio: Applications: Cranes, Solo hoists, Chain hoists with motorized trolley (bridge) Operation: Indoor,...

MiniJoystick radio functionality Bridge and trolley movements The joystick is for controlling the travelling movement of the crane and hoist. The joystick allows the user to control the load with just a single grip. The symbols are covered with a thick layer of transparent plastic to guarantee durability. Hook up/Hook down Multifunction key The transmitter has a removable, multifunctional key that prevents the transmitter from being operated without the key. The rotatable function makes it possible to have multiple functions for just one control element. The 5-step switch enables to have a trolley...

Konecranes Radio controls Precision in crane control REMOX radio control increases efficiency and reduces operating risks. It allows the operator to have a good view of the load in the hook and to manually assist it, if necessary. A crane equipped with Smart Features – together with an intelligent HIM (Human Interface to Machine) transmitter – is a serious tool for even the most demanding applications. Available REMOX transmitter models: REMOX radio transmitters use an iLOG key to store all the important data of the radio system. The key can be transferred to a spare transmitter and it will immediately...

Available REMOX models: Radio model Hoisting movement Trolley movement For crane movement interlocking purposes only Crane movement REMOX receivers: 510, 512, 516, 524, 736 = Konecranes standard receivers. Component selection made automatically by Konecranes sales. 707FIX & 716FIX = For crane movement interlocking purposes only.

Konecranes Radio controls Konecranes radio controls Tandem Two cranes can be controlled simultaneously with the tandem option. The operator selects the crane he wants to control using the rotary selector in the radio transmitter. This system requires only one transmitter and two receivers. Crane 1 / receiver 1 with one reception frequency, address 1 The principle of tandem use of cranes Crane 2 / receiver 2 with one reception frequency, address 1 MASTER/SLAVE Operating two cranes with two complete radio systems is called the Master/Slave function. This option requires two transmitters and two...

Master/Master Two cranes can be operated in tandem also with the Master/Master system. It requires two receivers and two transmitters like the Master/ Slave system. The difference compared to the Master/Slave system is that both transmitters can act as the master in this system. Crane 1 / receiver 1 with a scanner and two reception frequencies, address 1 Master/Master operation Crane 2 / receiver 2 with a scanner and two reception frequencies, address 2 Crane receiver with two reception frequencies Transmitter 1 Catch-Release operation CATCH–RELEASE A radio system equipped with the Catch– Release...

Konecranes Radio controls Crane movement Interlocking In situations where two cranes are carrying the same load, it is crucial for safety that the load is moved at exactly the same time and speed in each direction. Due to the hazardous nature of this type of load moving, standardization has been created to increase the safety of the employees and of the objects being moved. Konecranes fulfills EN ISO 13849-1 performance level C. We have the industry’s most comprehensive monitoring of crane conditions on tandem controls. Konecranes’ REMOXFIX system monitors all the necessary signals between two...

Without interlocking These pictures illustrate a situation with two cranes moving a load without crane movement interlocking. On the left, both cranes are travelling and carrying a shared load, and the operator is controlling them with one transmitter. Without interlocking, crane A would stop when it has reached the end limit switch, but crane B would continue to move and would collide with crane A (picture on the right). The collision would make the load unstable and put it in danger of dropping; this would thus create a major safety hazard. With interlocking These pictures illustrate the Konecranes...
