Abstract

The aim of this paper is to introduce an innovative machinery result of combining cable suspended robot technology based on parallel kinematics with a traditional gantry crane. This machinery has been named Cablecrane. Its purpose is to keep the same load capabilities as in traditional gantry cranes while enabling full 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) control of the payload. This means that the payload is fully controlled in position and orientation while it is being manipulated. Thus, precision load handling and movement without oscillations are possible in any direction, in any orientation. In addition, combined with appropriate calibration, sensors and integrated CNC controller, most of manipulation tasks in plant can be programmed and automatized. The final result is an increase in production, full plant automation and enhanced plant safety.
