Can I purchase the ACR ANTC-100 Laser Collision Prevention System for Overhead Cranes with a range shorter than 10 meters?

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.

What is the minimum and maximum detection distance of the ACR ANTC-100 Laser Collision Prevention System for Overhead Cranes?

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.

Can I install the ACR ANTC-100 Laser Collision Avoidance System in environments with a lot of dust or smoke?

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.

Can the ACR ANTC-100 Laser Collision Avoidance System be used in any work environment?

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.

Which models of the Collision Avoidance System for Overhead Cranes available on the market use technology other than laser? What are their disadvantages?

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.
