Skew control for RMG Shipyard Cranes

Skew control for RMG Shipyard Cranes

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides information on Konecranes' advanced technologies for crane operations, focusing on SkewControl and automation features for various crane types, including RMG and shipyard cranes.
Specifications and Features:
  • RAAS Feature: The ReAcquisition Accelerator System (RAAS) is a patented GPS-calculation feature that ensures continuous crane positioning even if one antenna loses satellite connection.
  • Automation Technologies: Includes AutoMove, AutoGrab, Remote Operation, AutoStop, TOS Interface, and AutoSteering, designed to enhance safety and efficiency in container operations.
  • SkewControl and AntiCollision: SkewControl adjusts the travel speed of crane drive systems to maintain perpendicular alignment to rail lines, replacing traditional odometer/encoder wheels with inductive sensors. It also provides AntiCollision protection by controlling distances between cranes on the same rails.
Applications:
  • Adaptable for RMG cranes in container terminals and gantry cranes in shipyards.
  • Future potential for controlling TandemHoist on Goliath cranes in shipyards.
Company Information: Konecranes is a leading provider of lifting solutions and services, with a global presence in 43 countries and a workforce of 9,900 employees. The company is listed on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd.

Safety through accuracy The AutoSteering technology can be adapted for both RMG cranes on container terminals and also for gantry cranes on shipyards, as a SkewControl, where the cranes have an unfavorable steering ratio (rail span vs length of bogie system), thus skewing easily. SkewControl adjusts the travelling speed of each drive system. This corrects the crane perpendicular to rail line. This almost maintenance-free technology therefore replaces the existing inaccurate odometer/ encoder wheels with the SkewControl system, which uses inductive sensors for location calibration.
