The VB Application in Hoisting Machinery Gantry Crane

1.Industrial Background

The gantry crane is a new type of small lifting gantry developed based on the needs of daily handling equipment in factories, incoming and outgoing goods in warehouses, lifting and repairing heavy equipment, and transporting materials. Used in mold manufacturing, auto repair factories, mines, civil construction sites and other lifting situations. The biggest advantage of the mobile gantry crane is that it can be moved in all directions and can be quickly disassembled and installed.

2. Principle & Requirements

Working Principle

The mobile gantry crane is composed of an upper gantry frame, a lower gantry frame, a power system, a lifting system, a traveling mechanism and a suspension beam frame. Utilizing the rigid body characteristics of the concrete bridge, the suspension beam frames at both ends are connected to the bridge as a whole through supporting pressure plates and beam-tying wire ropes for lifting and transfer operations. There are self-propelled traveling mechanisms on both sides of the gantry crane, driven by low-speed and high-torque hydraulic motors, which can easily transfer precast beams within short distances.

5.Solution Features

1. VB VFD adopts speed sensorless vector control, which has good dynamic performance, large torque at low frequency and stable output torque.

2. VB VFD is equipped with a braking resistor, which can run smoothly even when the acceleration and deceleration time is short.

3. Since the traveling mechanism travels north and south, the distance between the VFD and the motor is long. The iVFD is equipped with an output reactor to protect the insulation layer of the motor and extend the service life of the motor.

4. For the control and monitoring of the brake, you can set the brake opening and closing control through F6.31, and ensure the safety and reliability of the control through real-time status feedback of the brake and starting pre-torque compensation.
