XY-Zero Control

What is XY-Zero?

XY-Zero Control

XY-Zero is an optional software package fitted to the crane, which is designed to totally eradicate load swing caused by travelling movements of the crane.
The software can be fitted to new or existing pendant, radio or cab controlled cranes.
Standard software is suitable for heights of lift up to 30 metres.

How does XY Zero works?

The XY-Zero software is installed on a frequency inverter or PLC controlled drives and can be used in conjunction with one or both of the crane axis (travel or traverse).

Proximity switches are mounted onto the hoist unit, which provide a constant feedback signal to indicate the hook height at any given point. As the crane motions are operated, the XY-Zero software calculates the predicted swing movement on the load. The crane’s travel and traverse movements are then automatically modified to eliminate any load swing. This provides the operator with greater control over the crane, allowing faster crane cycle times, increasing efficiency.

Using Slings, Chains or Lifting Attachments

When lifting using different slings, chains or attachments, the operator adjusts the height correction switch on the crane controller to suit the particular attachment. The multi-position rotary switch uses the input figure for the length of the attachment to fine -tune the pendulum length. This keeps the load steady, eliminating any double pendulum effect that may normally occur.
