| 20130118373 | CONTROL OF INTERCONNECTED TROLLEYS - A hoist trolley assembly includes first and second hoist trolleys, electric motors to drive the trolleys and a control system. The control system receives a preliminary speed reference for the trolleys and forms a final speed reference for the first hoist trolley by using initial data including the preliminary speed reference. The control system is adapted to use a hoist trolley coefficient K | 05-16-2013 |
| 20130041500 | METHOD FOR CRANE CONTROL AND STOCK MANAGEMENT - The invention relates to a method for crane control and stock management, the method includes attaching to the goods to be stored an identifier associated with a code, such as number or name, given to the goods in stock accounting or the like; reading the identifier with a reader, when the goods are being transferred by a crane; transmitting the identifier information from the reader to the memory of the crane control; transferring the goods with the crane to a selected location in the warehouse; and storing the coordinates of the goods to the memory of the crane control so that they are associated with the identifier; and when the goods are removed from the warehouse, reading with the reader from a work order or the like the identifier information associated with the goods; and transmitting the identifier information from the reader to the memory of the crane control; and activating the crane control with the identifier information, whereby the crane moves to the location of the earlier stored goods. | 02-14-2013 |
| 20120229062 | MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A HOIST DRIVE - A motor control system for a hoist drive having an electric motor operationally connected to a hoisting member for hoisting a load, the motor control system being adapted to generate a final angular frequency reference (ω* | 09-13-2012 |
| 20120224056 | RUNWAY MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A measuring system comprising a fixed measurement unit ( | 09-06-2012 |
| 20120092643 | SYSTEM FOR THE IDENTIFICATION AND/OR LOCATION DETERMINATION OF A CONTAINER HANDLING MACHINE - The invention relates to a system capable of determining in which lane a container handling machine is present below a quay crane or the like crane and/or capable of determining the correct location of a container handling machine in its driving direction (y) with respect to a quay crane or the like crane as containers are delivered to the crane or containers are retrieved from the crane by the container handling machine. The crane is fitted with at least one scanning laser distance sensor or the like range finder, and the container handling machines are fitted with one or more reflectors whose height profile is used for the determination of a correct location and/or for the identification of a container handling machine and for the distinction thereof from other container handling machines. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20110130863 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A CRANE - A method for controlling a crane includes controlling a rope part connected to a hook of the crane with a friction-operated driving wheel, extra rope being coiled into a plurality of layers onto a storage reel. In the method, two machineries are used, of which the first is intended for the driving wheel and the other for the storage reel, one machinery being controlled with a speed instruction and the other machinery with a torque instruction. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110089129 | HOIST COMBINATION - A hoist combination includes a hoist, a trolley that is arranged to move along a beam provided with side flanges, whereby the trolley includes two trolley flanges arranged on opposite sides of the beam and provided with wheels, by which the trolley moves along the side flanges of the beam; and a securing and adjusting device for securing the hoist to the trolley flanges beneath the beam and for adjusting the mutual distance between the trolley flanges, the securing and adjusting device including supporting slide coupling between the hoist and the trolley flanges and an adjustment bar connected between the trolley flanges, the sliding direction of the adjustment bar and the slide coupling being transverse to the beam. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20100213324 | ARRANGEMENT FOR INSTALLING CABLES ON OUTER SURFACES OF CRANE STRUCTURES - The invention relates to an arrangement for installing cables on outer surfaces of crane structures ( | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100187844 | LIFTING HOOK - A lifting hook is arranged to grab an object to be lifted by a cylindrical lifting surface formed thereto, the lifting hook having a hook shank, a hook part joining the hook shank and a locking device arranged to lock the lifting hook to the object to be lifted. To allow the lifting hook to be reliably attached to the piece to be lifted, a mechanical control device is mounted above the hook part to co-operate with the upper surface of the lifting surface for guiding the hook part to a lifting position onto the lower surface of the lifting surface. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100097016 | GENERATOR ASSEMBLY - A generator assembly including generator means and a first converter member ( | 04-22-2010 |
