EC.PP trough-integrated path measurement system

Provides EC.PR position data

Transmitters (beacons) are installed at 50 cm intervals on the outer guide trough side links and connected by cable. They transmit their positions to a single antenna fixed to the floating moving end. The system uses the relative position of the beacon to the antenna and the transmitted position to calculate the trolley position and sends it via Profinet to the customer control system as information for the EC. PR push/pull force monitoring system and for precise crane trolley positioning. The repeatability envisioned is indicated to be +/-5mm!

Tech up with igus news

Tech up

  • Path measurement system for connection to the position-dependent push/pull measuring system EC. P
  • The customer can use this as a primary trolley positioning system, eliminating the necessity of a second measurement system.
  • Beacons transmit position information to the moving antenna, eliminating the necessity of any additional rotation monitor.
  • Repeat accuracy: +/-5mm
  • Transmission of position data to customer PLC control via Profinet
Cost down with igus news

Cost down

  • Average of four man-days of installation time saved because the second measurement system is eliminated1
Evidence from igus news

Proof

  • Beta test at BTG (well-know manufacturer of crane positioning systems)
  • Q2 2020 Test set-up at 200-m field test facility in the igus® laboratory for dynamic energy transmission systems, the world's largest 
Recycling with igus news

Sustainability

  • The installation time saved allows earlier decommissioning of uneconomical technologies
