Yes, the standard model is equipped with 3 limit relays, and each relay can be programmed within a range of 0.2 to 10 meters.
Minimum detection = 20 cm
Maximum detection = 10 or 30 meters (depends on the model purchased)
The Standard model with detection up to 10 meters covers 90% of applications.
The special model, which detects up to 30 meters, is used only for extremely fast overhead cranes.
For this type of environment, we recommend the ACR RADAR Collision Avoidance System, which, thanks to the “radar fm-cw” principle, is not affected by environmental factors.
Yes, the ANTC-100 Collision Avoidance System is designed to operate in aggressive industrial environments.
The only exception is its use in environments with excess smoke (steel mills) or excessive suspended solid particles in the air (foundries). For these environments, the recommended model is the RADAR Collision Avoidance System, which, thanks to the “radar fm-cw” principle, is not affected by any environmental factors.
Collision Avoidance systems using "photoelectric" technology. Disadvantages:
• Unsafe, does not function with fail safe, meaning in case of failure, anomaly, or interference, it will not stop the movement.
• Uses a prismatic mirror to reflect light. During crane movement, the sensor may lose focus on the mirror and become inoperative.
• In environments with excess smoke or suspended solid particles in the air, it will not detect and the equipment will become inoperative (will not protect the crane).
• An external high-intensity light source may cause interference.
Collision Avoidance system using “radar” technology. Disadvantages:
• Extremely high acquisition cost.
