How To Operate Cranes Safely By Radio Remote Control?

Types of cranes and its control mechanism:

The cranes are mostly used for industrial purposes and the cranes have many types such as EOT crane, Jib crane, Ganty crane, Tower crane, Goliath cranes, Hydra cranes, and many more. The cranes can also be subdivided into two sections like static cranes and mobile cranes.

The crane which cannot be moved and fixed at some point are known as static cranes. And the cranes that can move from one place to another are known as mobile cranes. These cranes can be controlled by either wired remote systems or wireless remote systems. 

Cranes can be controlled by a wireless radio remote device known as a radio remote control. Artificial radio waves are generated by wireless devices. With the help of this wireless device, the crane can be controlled in particular directions like cross travel, long travel, and hoist. The hoist is part of the crane which is used for moving the heavy loads in up and down directions.

Industrial crane remote control system and it's working:

To control and manage the industrial crane two units are required, one is a transmitter and the other is the receiver. Both the device uses the radio waves frequency technique for communication. The electromagnetic waves that travel and vibrate in the frequency range of ten KHz to three hundred GHz and can be categorized as radio waves and microwaves.

The transmitter device is used by the ground operator and it is handy to use. The transmitter device has many push buttons like up, down, left, right, start, stop, forward and reverse. The receiver is attached to the overhead crane for receiving the signal from the transmitter device.

The transmitter device sends the signal to the receiver in the safe and encrypted mode so that the data packet cannot be hacked by the outsider. The receiver has an antenna through which it receives the signal. The communication in the middle of receiver and transmitter happens more than ten times in a second.

While communicating with the receiver the wireless remote control for crane notices a few things like the transmission of the signal, the signal quality, the frequency band, the number of successful transmissions, the error that occurred, the lost data packet, the signal range, the battery percentage and many more.

The radio remote device button is configured with interlocked features. Because of that, the two buttons in a pair cannot be used together at the same time. If a reverse button is pressed then at that time forward button won't work until the crane reaches the reverse direction.

While communicating the receiver also sends the signal to the transmitter device indicating that the data packet was reached successfully. The radio remote device adjusts the electric power supply according to the distance. The transmitter device consumes more energy if the distance is more and consumes less energy if the distance is less in the middle of the receiver and transmitter.

Need of EOT crane remote control: 

The radio remote device uses wireless technology for communication and hence it removes the need for wired cable systems that result in cost-effectiveness. The crane can be controlled and monitored from a long distance as well so the operator doesn't have to go close to the crane.

The hopping frequency technique is used by the EOT crane remote control while communicating with the receiver to avoid unnecessary trespassers and for the continuous change of transmission of the signal. The communication can reach between receiver and transmitter is from ten meters to two hundred meters.

If any error or bugs are found while communicating then the transmitter device stops working suddenly. The device is built in such a way that it can be used in grinding industrial conditions. The quotation of the device helps protect from shock and corrosion. The transmitter device has the 2.4 GHz frequency band for communication which is the latest globally followed. 

Conclusion:

As we know that there are different types of cranes for industrial use and they are controlled by different systems like wired or wireless remote control systems. But nowadays the wireless crane remote control is in demand due to its feature and specifications.

So many of the industries are moving towards the wireless crane remote device. The leading supplier and crane remote control manufacturers are Anand Systems Engineering Private Limited. The wireless transmitter is made according to the client's needs. The device is highly customized and optimized while in use.
