Blast furnace/Skip hoists: Retrofitting a U-ONE provides higher accuracy and improves availability
Home Case Studies Retrofitting Availability The blast furnace skip hoist is protected against overspeed on the motor side by a mechanical overspeed switch with integrated speed increasing gear. The universal encoder system U-ONE® is to replace the outdated sensor systems on both the motor and drum sides. Thanks to its modular design it is possible to adapt the …
Automation Crane Coil Grab / Coil Tong
To automate a coil tong, light barriers should be mounted on the lower end of the gripper to safely detect the hole in the coil. The coils can be sometimes up to 600 °C hot. For each coil tong, three light barriers are needed to detect the lower edge and the right and left edges …
