A Controller Enabling Precise Positioning and Sway Reduction in Cranes with On-off Actuation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Precise manipulation of payloads is difficult with large cranes. Oscillation can be induced into the lightly damped system by motion of the overhead support point, or from environmental disturbances. A combined feedback and input shaping controller is presented here. The controller uses feedback to detect and compensate for positioning error in the overhead support unit (e.g. the bridge or trolley), and input shaping is used to negate motion-induced oscillation in the payload. The controller is implemented on a 10-ton bridge crane at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The controller generates simple on-off commands, suitable for typical cranes that employ on-off, relay-driven motors. The controller achieves good positioning accuracy, and significant payload sway reduction. Copyright © 2005 IFAC

A controller enabling precise positioning and sway reduction in bridge and gantry cranes
Precise manipulation of payloads is difficult with cranes. Oscillation can be induced into the lightly damped system by motion of the bridge or trolley, or from environmental disturbances. To address both sources of oscillation, a combined feedback and input shaping controller is developed. The controller is comprised of three distinct modules. A feedback module detects and compensates for posi...
متن کاملAnti-sway and Motion Planning Control of Overhead Cranes
Overhead cranes are usually operated manually to move heavy loads. Fast and smooth movements of the loads are the main objectives of crane operations. However, both the objectives always contradict with each other, so that it is hard to achieve positioning and swing control simultaneously by using conventional methods. This paper presents the adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller (AFSMC) to re...
متن کاملAn Input Shaping Controller Enabling Cranes to Move Without Sway
A gantry crane at the Savannah River Technology Center was retrofitted with an Input Shaping controller. The controller intercepts the operator’s pendant commands and modifies them in real time so that the crane is moved without residual sway in the suspended load. Mechanical components on the crane were modified to make the crane suitable for the anti-sway algorithm. This paper will describe t...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation on Active Sway Control of a Gantry Crane System using PID Controller
This project presents an experimental investigations into the development proportional integral derivative (PID) control schemes for active sway control of a gantry crane system. The main objective of controlling a gantry crane is to transport the load as fast as possible without causing any unnecessary swing at the final position. The proposed controller is used as a feedback control which is ...
متن کاملH∞ controller with graphical LMI region profile for gantry crane system
This paper presents investigations into the development of H∞ controller with pole clustering based on LMI techniques to control the payload positioning of INTECO 3D crane system with very minimal swing. The linear model of INTECO 3D crane system is obtained using the system identification process. Using LMI approach, the regional pole placement known as LMI region combined with design objectiv...
