Intelligent cable crane

Task 3.3

Tecno carriage PLC data processing for controls and

functiong.

some technical features:

power 80 kW,

max inclination 100%,

supporting cable/skyline d=24mm,

pulling up lifting power 3200kg,

speed 4,7 m/sec

Tecno carriage All weather rugged tablet pc with gps control

and maps for the definition of the carriage position on the skyline

• Wi-fi interface with the carriage enabling its programming and managing

Measurement of load weight by mean

of a tension sensor on the dropline

drum

Tecno carriage• A fixed RFID reader integrated in the carriage

in a place that can get close (1-3 m) to the tags

• Real time recording of line data (inclination, tilt angle, lenght, numebr of intermediate supports, direction of hauling, fuel consumption, work cycle duration

•

Tecno carriage

• Plc integrated with data transmitter module GPRS/UMT/3G and internal hard disk for data storage with transmission to the black box

chockers

chockers

• Remote controlled and programmable chockers with automatic opening system

• Chockers will interact with the carriage• A built-in sensor will comunicate the opening

and closure of the chockers• .

chockers

• The opening command may prove ineffective for several reasons . The communication system built in in the carriage will thus allow a complete automation of the carriage working cycle in full security.

chockers When the unloading cycle occurs and when

the built.in sensor will detect the absence of tension, it will stop the winch and will open the chockers

chockers • The carriage leaves automatically the

unloading point only when the chockers are open and zero load is registered on the dropline

chockers

• When the unoading area is being approached there will be a sensor with sound and light telling that the unloading manouvre is going to take place.

Synthetic rope launcher

Synthetic rope launcher

• Skyline setting up system with synthetic rope launcher (compressed air propelled)

Synthetic rope launcher

The system is composed by a trailer with two devices resembling fishing reels on board.

• These devices prepare the cable for the launch. The cable is measured according to lenght and launch data.

Synthetic rope launcher

• The system will also include a winch for the winding and for the lay out of the supporting cable and a high pressure compressor(300 bar),

Synthetic rope launcher

• The system includes also a launching tube and a motorized orienteering system working on GPS coordinates by tablet/PC

• With this system a single operator just needs to carry a light pulley and to insert the synthetic rope so taht to create the ring

Synthetic rope launcher

• Then the winch winding up the synthetic rope will lay out the supporting cable setting up the skyline without fatigue and harzard.

• • We can say that we are talking about a

traction force of 1800 daN.

Synthetic rope launcher• Eventually with this system forestry workers

will be at ease with the difficult task in laying out cable during skyline setting.
