Condition Monitoring
The hoist monitoring systems NovaMaster and the digitally networked successor OMNI control collect and process all parameters of hoist operation. All information can be read out via display or by using a mobile app. This includes, but it is not limited to:
- faults and warnings
- data about hoist condition (SWP hoist, brake and contactors)
- information about hoist usage (load, runtime, overload incidents, temperature, number of emergency stops, overtemperature, etc.)
In other words, the days of worrying about inaccurate or time-consuming calculations for the annual inspection of your crane systems are history.
SWF X-Link complements the hoist monitoring. The app clearly visualizes all parameters on the user’s mobile phone on factory floor level.
In order to be able to work with SWF X-Link and OMNI control, the hoist monitoring system is equipped with a hardware module (gateway). NovaMaster simply needs to be equipped with a hardware module with antenna for wireless transmission and an adapter cable.
- Continuous monitoring
Hoist monitoring, permanent SWP calculations, overload protection.
- Minimal downtime
Relevant crane data can be read quickly from the display.
- Safe working conditions
Monitoring of safetyrelevant hoist components and operation parameters such as brakes, contactors, etc.
Frequency Inverter
VARIO control and TravelMaster enable stepless speed adjustments for long and cross travel drives.
The frequency inverter controller ensures gentle operation. Simply put, that means less wear and tear, lower maintenance costs and shorter service periods.
- Precision work under load
Low-sway moving, stepless speed adjustment.
- Gentle operation
Smooth start and stop is gentle on gears and wheels and reduces wear on wheels and rails.
- Lower maintenance costs & less scheduled downtime
Longer-lasting wheels and rails and minimal wear on breaks means less maintenance as well as a significant drop in maintenance costs and used materials.
Radio remote control
With the remote controls from our RadioMaster series, crane operators flexibly control and monitor long and cross travel along with various other features. Crane operators profit from a greater range of movement. This facilitates everyday steps in the job and makes operating the crane as a whole so much simpler.
- Room to move
Flexibly crane operators control the crane from a safe location – without cumbersome cables in the way.
- Robust design
Highly durable housing and controls, vibration protection for the receiver, long-life rechargeable batteries, fast charger with back-up rechargeable battery.
- Versatile usage
Load data in display, push-button and joystick controls, multiple crane or hoist operation (e.g. in tandem or as master/slave), suitable for monitoring other features as well.
