3D Tower Crane as a mechatronic tool for education
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a laboratory model of the 3D tower crane. The arm of the crane is approx 1.2m long and the model is approx. 1.5m heigh. The crane is equipped with three DC motors that control: the rotary movement of the tower, the movement of the trolley and up and down movement of the load. The model is equipped with an unique unit for measuring an angle position of the load. The paper contains description of some mechanical solutions as well as results of chosen experiments. Some aspects of appliance in education are discussed. Keywords-component; 3D crane, mechatronic model, real-time control,

TOWER CRANES AND SUPPLY POINTS LOCATING PROBLEM USING CBO, ECBO, AND VPS
Tower cranes are major and expensive equipment that are extensively used at building construction projects and harbors for lifting heavy objects to demand points. The tower crane locating problem to position a tower crane and supply points in a building construction site for supplying all requests in minimum time, has been raised from more than twenty years ago. This problem has already been so...
متن کاملIdentification and assessment of human errors among tower crane operators using SHERPA and CREAM techniques
Introduction: Cranes are of the major causes of accidents in the construction industries. As human error mostly causes crane accidents, this study aims to investigate the human errors of tower crane operators in the construction projects using SHERPA and CREAM techniques. Material and Method: In this research, first, all of the tasks of the tower crane operator were identified and analyzed. Th...
متن کاملAnti-swing Fuzzy Controller Design for a 3D Overhead Crane
This paper proposes a simple but efficient technique to control 3D overhead crane. Load must track a desired path and not sway more than a reasonable range.The proposed method uses PID control for trolley to track the desired path and fuzzy control compensation to eliminate the load swing. Only the projection of swing angle is applied to design the fuzzy controller. No plant information of cran...

متن کاملAutomatic Design Algorithm for the Tower Crane Foundations
Foundation of tower crane serves to ensure stability against vertical and horizontal forces. If foundation stress is not sufficient, tower crane may be subject to overturning, shearing or foundation settlement. Therefore, engineering review of stable support is a highly critical part of foundation design. However, there are not many professionals who can conduct engineering review of tower cran...
