Spreader Positie Meetsysteem Grote Kranen- IRM100

 

 

  • Infra Red Measurement system for spreaders on large cranes
  • Ideal for anti sway
  • Uses an optical sensor (PSD)
  • Idustrial robust housing
  • Measuring range up to 40 meters
  • Proven technology

 

 

 

 

The IRM100 is a measurement system which consists of an infrared transmitter and a receiver unit. The infrared transmitter is mounted on the spreader of the crane, the receiver is mounted perpendicular above it. Instead of using a camera system we use a so called PSD. This Position Sensitive Device is able to locate a light spot with high accuray. The system measures the sway angle in both crane and trolley direction and the spreader skew angle. The  housing is made of stainless steal and mounted with heavy duty wire springs to avoid damage during heavy operations. The IRM100 is designed for large cranes and has a vertical measuring range of 40 meters. For smaller cranes we have the IRM300 wich has a vertical measuring range of 25 meters.
