Overhead Crane Safety Systems: Brake-Slip Detection
If you choose to upgrade your crane’s brake system at the same time that you add variable frequency drive controls, you can greatly reduce the wear and tear and maintenance on your brake system. Having a microprocessor control the motor and slow the crane’s motion versus using the brakes to slow down the crane, can prolong the life of the brake system.
Overhead cranes with older brake systems can benefit from newer technologies like wear sensors and auto-adjust features. Auto-adjust features make sure the brake is always in proper adjustment, and doesn’t require maintenance or service personnel to manually and repeatedly adjust the brakes. This results in equal wear on the brake pads and less wear and tear on the moving components. When the sensors detect anything out of the predetermined variance, they can inform maintenance personnel when brake adjustment is needed.
Bridge crane is an important tool used in modern industrial sectors such as construction, manufacturing, mining and shipping. They are very important equipment and need good safety practice knowledge and operation ability. When using bridge cranes, safety is very important because any negligence may lead to serious injury or death. Although bridge cranes are very suitable for many environments, they are very reliable
