Die maintenance cranes have two hoisting machineries: a main hoist and an auxiliary hoist. During a load turning operation, special measures must be taken due to the unavoidable diagonal pull between the two hoists. In this application, our die handling cranes only allow the load to be turned in a closed system. This means that loads can be turned from trolley to trolley or from one hoist to the next when two hoists are used on a common trolley.
A standard rope angle is +/- 4 degrees, but when a die is rotated much larger rope angles can build up. The Konecranes M-Series crane is perfect for turning loads as rope pulleys are arranged parallel to the trolley rail allowing a rope angle of up to 10 degrees.
To further optimize safety, our die maintenance cranes are equipped with diagonal pull monitoring that is designed to stop crane movement when the permissible rope angle is exceeded.
