Collision Prevention Solution for Container Cranes Using LD-50G Safety Laser Scanner
In global container terminals, accidents caused by insufficient lifting height of crane hoists are not uncommon. These incidents not only damage containers, cargo, and equipment but also pose a significant risk to worker safety. To effectively prevent such accidents, the LD-50G Safety Laser Scanner offers a reliable and advanced port anti-collision system.
How Does the LD-50G Safety Laser Scanner Prevent Collision Accidents?
By installing the LD-50G Safety Laser Scanner on gantry cranes, it can continuously monitor the stacking profile of containers below the hoist in real-time. The system compares the height of the hoist or the container being lifted with the stacking profile to detect any potential collision points. It then calculates the distance between the hoist and the potential impact point, adjusting the crane’s movement based on the collision avoidance technology. This includes slowing down or stopping the crane to allow the operator to adjust the hoist height and prevent accidents.
The LD-50G is equipped with built-in monitoring software that sends control commands through I/O output terminals, eliminating the need for external data transmission and processing. This ensures rapid response, high reliability, and minimal equipment installation, enhancing overall port safety solutions.
Key Features and Benefits of the LD-50G Safety Laser Scanner
Primary Functions:
1️⃣ Real-time scanning and monitoring
The LD-50G Safety Laser Scanner continuously scans the container stacking profile beneath the hoist, ensuring the precision and safety of crane operations.
2️⃣ Risk assessment and early warning
By comparing the position of the hoist or the bottom of the lifted container with the stacking profile, the system quickly evaluates potential collision risks and sends out a collision prevention warning.
3️⃣ Automated collision control
When a collision risk is detected, the LD-50G instantly calculates the distance between the collision point and the crane’s hoist. Based on pre-set safety parameters, the system implements automated collision control, such as slowing down or stopping the crane, to prevent any accidents.
