Programming, monitoring, and maintaining magnet crane controls are essential to the safety of operators and equipment as multiple magnets sort materials side by side. As a result, it is imperative that your magnet cranes operate at maximum capacity with minimal maintenance and downtime.
Columbus McKinnon’s portfolio of distance detection and collision avoidance systems prevent crane-to-crane and crane-to-end-stop collisions – which is particularly important when multiple ladle cranes pass by one another or near other equipment.
Drive Support and Diagnostic Tools allow operators to efficiently program, monitor and troubleshoot multiple drives from a remote location outside the hazardous environment. As one-to-one links between the operator and crane, drive diagnostic tools supply critical information such as run, alarm, and fault history; drive trending data; and data analysis.
While in the furnace, impurities called slag float to the surface of the liquid steel. Slag pots located below the scrap bucket collect and channel slag away from the steel. Requiring minimal to no human interaction, fully automated systems perform pre-determined repeatable processes, allowing operators to stay focused on their primary duties instead of attending to multiple concurrent activities while keeping them out of hazardous environments. This helps minimize production backups while enhancing safety and efficiency.
Built for reliability and performance, our electric chain hoists and wire rope hoists are ideal pieces of steel plate handling equipment for your lifting and positioning needs within the steel mill, and they can be easily configured to meet exact application needs.
When it is time to repair or replace components, versatile jib cranes are the ideal solution for areas where adequate headroom and structural support do not exist. Utilizing enclosed track aluminum monorails, jib cranes are offered with a variety of options to best fit application needs.
New Magnetek-brand IMPULSE Series 5 Variable Frequency Drives are designed to serve as the intelligent foundation for overhead cranes and hoist systems. This recorded webinar provides a detailed look at the new IMPULSE·G+/VG+ Series 5 VFDs and their proper application for overhead cranes.
