Harbour Crane
In the application of port cranes, inductive sensors and limit switches play an equally important role. Inductive sensors are used to accurately detect the position and movement of metal objects, which is crucial for positioning and travel control of components such as the crane arm and hook. By sensing the proximity or distance changes of metal objects, they ensure precise control of various crane components, preventing them from exceeding safe limits. For instance, during the extension and retraction of the crane arm, inductive sensors can detect the arm’s position in real time, preventing accidents caused by overextension or tilting. Limit switches, on the other hand, are used to set safety limits for crane movement. When the equipment reaches a set position, the limit switch cuts off the circuit, stopping further movement to avoid collisions and equipment damage. Together, these sensors support automated operation and remote monitoring, enhancing the safety, stability, and operational efficiency of port cranes.
How our Switches are Used in Harbor brane
Telemecanique’s limit switches and inductive sensors work together in port cranes to enhance safety and performance. The limit switches restrict the movement range of active components, preventing overextension or overload, while the inductive sensors monitor the hook’s position and load in real time, ensuring precision and safety during crane operations. This combination of sensors significantly improves the crane’s safety, stability, and operational efficiency, ensuring high-performance operation and reducing the risk of malfunctions.
Telemecanique’s XS series inductive sensors and XCKVR, XCKMR, XCKM, and XCR limit switches each play a crucial role in port cranes, providing precise travel control and position detection. The XS series inductive sensors are used to monitor hook load and position, while the XCK and XCR series limit switches control the vertical and horizontal movement of the crane arm and other active components. This ensures that the crane does not operate under overload conditions, preventing equipment damage and accidents. By combining these sensors, Telemecanique delivers efficient and safe automated control solutions for port cranes.
