The anti-collision system is a safety device to avoid collision of
Two electric overhead traveling cranes on the same bay. The
System works on the principle of retro-reflective infrared
Waves.
The system comprises of an emitter cum receiver module and
A reflector. The emitter continuously emits infrared waves in
The direction of the reflector. The waves are reflected back to
The receiver end of the system which activates an alarm signal
And stops/reduce the speed of the crane. If two cranes are away
From each other the reflected waves will not reach the sensor
Cranes operate normally.
The advanced digital anti-collision system incorporates a
Micro-Controller Based Circuit for taking digital inputs for
Easy range setting and gives an accurate cut-off range to the
Device. Two sets of anti-collision systems are required for
Collision avoidance between the two cranes.
