Passive control of overhead cranes

Proceedings of the 1998 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (Cat. No.98CH36104), 1999
The focus of this paper is on the design of optimal passive controllers for rest-to-rest maneuvers of flexible structures. The parameters of the passive controller are determined by formulating an optimization problem to minimize the integral of the time absolute error, subject to control constraints.

Optimisation of overhead crane

2017 International Conference on Circuit ,Power and Computing Technologies (ICCPCT), 2017
Overhead cranes are commonly used in industries for the displacement of materials. Overhead cranes are modelled. Various trajectories are generated based on the open loop scheme. So, optimal control models have been proposed including energy, swing and transportation time. For optimization SQP is used as the optimization technique.

Electromechanical modelling of overhead cranes

International Journal of Systems Science, 1992
A non-linear electromechanical model describing the dynamical behaviour of overhead cranes is presented. The model takes into consideration the non-linear dependence of the load sway on transients of driving motors during voltage disturbances and start-ups.

Optimal control of overhead cranes

Control Engineering Practice, 1995
Abstract A nonlinear dynamic model of an overhead crane which represents simultaneous travel, traverse, and hoisting/lowering motions is considered. Nonlinear feedback forms of control are studied, and numerical results are obtained in such a way that specified boundary conditions and the functional constraints for the states and controls are ...

Energy Efficiency of Overhead Cranes

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2014
Abstract Energy efficiency is firstly considered into the control of overhead cranes. Based on the model of crane system, energy consumption as well as operational safety is formulated in an optimal control problem. The optimal control is used to search optimal trajectories of velocity and acceleration for minimizing energy consumption.

Robust Control Schemes for an Overhead Crane

Journal of Vibration and Control, 2001
This paper addresses the control problem of an overhead crane. A variable structure control scheme, a variable structure controller in conjunction with a state feedback control scheme, and a μ-synthesis control scheme are proposed to control the overhead crane.

Overhead Electric Travelling Cranes

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 1937
The installation of an overhead electric crane is often left in the hands of specialist manufacturers. Plant engineers, however, need to ascertain service and performance requirements when considering an installation, and they often rebuild or modify existing cranes in order to reduce production and maintenance costs by improving the reliability of ...

Intelligent control of overhead gantry cranes

2009 6th International Symposium on Mechatronics and its Applications, 2009
Overhead gantry crane systems have been integral part of many heavy industrial applications needing material handling and transportation. This can easily be seen in emerging countries growing rapidly. Single force control input applied to crane moves it to a desired position but also triggers undesired swing on the payload which makes it an interesting

Anti-swing Control of Overhead Cranes

2006 6th World Congress on Intelligent Control and Automation, 2006
In this paper a controller is designed for the overhead cranes using the recently developed parallel differential (PD) eigenevalue assignment methodology. Using this theory, classical results for LTI control design carry over to the time-varying case. The main achievement of this paper is the first implementation of a controller designed using the PD ...

Automatic Control of an Overhead Crane

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1981
Abstract In the iron and steel industry, the automation and computer control of each manufacturing process has been promoted in order to improve productivity. However, the automation of transportation between manufacturing pro-cesses is lagging behind.
