SX 80 wire-rope sensor - safety for modern mobile cranes

The SX 80 wire rope hoist sensor is a cost-conscious and flexible solution for the safe use of mobile cranes in all areas of industry.

WayCon thus offers an efficient way to control legally permissible load moments and thus avert dangers due to tipping or overturning.

The core component of the draw-wire sensor is an ultra-light drum that is connected to the measured object via a cable. If the distance between the two changes, the measuring cable is pulled out of the sensor against the spring force and unwound from the drum.

The extension range of the crane supports is determined via the output of analog or digital values generated in the process. Taking into account other variables such as crane height, its angle of rotation and the transported lifting load, the control system can thus calculate the necessary support width.

Only when all the required guide values have been secured can and may the crane work be carried out. The redundant use of draw-wire sensors ensures safety for man and machine.

Due to its robust and compact design and its high interference immunity, the SX 80 draw-wire sensor from WayCon Positionsmesstechnik offers excellent application possibilities in mobile cranes.

Since the SX 80 is also suitable for retrofitting on the outside, there is no need for additional work to adapt the hydraulic cylinder. Customized designs and properties, such as maximum corrosion protection, also offer the user the highest possible flexibility.
