• Low acquisition cost and easy installation.
• Simple programming and calibration, takes a maximum of 10 minutes.
• Compact size and weight, making it resistant to vibrations.
• Processor with “fail safe,” meaning that in the event of a failure or anomaly in any part of the system (laser sensor, control electronics, or wiring), it will cut off the movement.
1. Available in all power supply voltages (24Vdc, 24Vac, 48Vac, and 90-240Vac), eliminating the need for an external power supply. Most Collision Avoidance systems in the market require 24Vdc power supply, requiring an external power source.
2. Control electronics equipped with a powerful microprocessor, featuring a 5-digit red LED display, 3 programming buttons, and 5 high-brightness LEDs acting as status indicators (configured output activations). Most Collision Avoidance systems on the market do not have separate control electronics from the sensor and lack the features that the ACR system offers.
3. Control electronics equipped with 3 relay trigger outputs: 1 for speed reduction and two for complete movement stop (2 outputs in series for safety redundancy). Most systems on the market have only one PNP 24V transistor output, requiring the use of a relay or auxiliary contactor. Another disadvantage of a single output is the inertia when stopping the crane at high speed.
4. Laser technology reflects light on any type/color of material, resulting in a safe and reliable system. Most Collision Avoidance systems on the market require the use of a special (prismatic) mirror to reflect the light. In the case of crane deflection when stopping (a common occurrence), the light may move out of the mirror's direction and release the movement. In case of dirt on the mirror, there will be no light reflection.
It is used primarily to prevent and avoid collisions between overhead cranes operating on the same track, reducing maintenance costs and providing greater operational safety.
In outdoor environments that experience high sunlight exposure, the LED light may lose luminous power, making it harder to visualize the marked area. Even so, we recommend their installation to maintain safety in indoor environments and during nighttime work.
At the rear, they should only be activated when the reverse movement is performed. For the sides and front, it is up to the customer. Some customers choose to activate them only when the machine is moving, while others prefer to keep them on at all times after ignition.
