Crane Automation

UPPER CONTROL BOX

The control box houses remote IO for the CNC system. It can also house valves and relays for custom requirements. To convert the manual crane to a CNC crane, simply unplug the manual pendant. Then plug the connector from the control box to the crane.

Requirements: Power and CAT5

Option: Compressed Air

CRANE ATTACHMENT

Our crane attachment removes the element of wire rope swing and gives the addition of two axis. Encoders are added to the crane so that the system can be NC controlled. Available in 500#, 1,000#, 2,000# and 10,000# part capacity. This system attaches to an existing dual girder crane.

GRIPPER CHANGING

Automatic Gripper Changing provides added flexibility to robotic applications by enabling the robot to change end-effectors automatically. Easily switch between clamping, vacuums, and magnetic grippers. Other devices, like measuring tools can also be attached.

LOWER CONTROL CABINET

The lower control cabinet houses the HMI and PLC computer. If a camera system is used, remote feeds can be relayed to this cabinet to enable easy operator use.
