A Multi-Operational-Mode Anti-Sway and Positioning Control for an Industrial Bridge Crane
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 30-ton industrial bridge crane located at an aluminum sheet manufacturer has been equipped with a crane manipulation system enabling swing-free motion, disturbance rejection, and precise positioning. Previous investigations of anti-sway, positioning, and crane control have yielded important contributions in these areas. These advancements are combined into the unified crane manipulation system described here. An overview of this system is presented, along with experimental results, and a description of how human operators use the crane.

On the Adaptive Tracking Control of 3-D Overhead Crane Systems
For low cost, easy assembly and less maintenance, overhead crane systems have been widely used for material transportation in many industrial applications. Due to the requirements of high positioning accuracy, small swing angle, short transportation time, and high safety, both motion and stabilization control for an overhead crane system becomes an interesting issue in the field of control tech...
متن کاملA 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...

In this paper, a study on the role of force feedback for teleoperation of industrial overhead crane is presented. Teleoperation of industrial crane was described and analyzed. We proposed several types of force feedback signals which can reduce sway motion in industrial crane. First, force feedback signal was selected and designed based on dynamic model of the system. Then, we simplified force ...

متن کاملA Controller Enabling Precise Positioning and Sway Reduction in Cranes with On-off Actuation
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 trol...
