Abstract:
In a method for recognition of the position of a load on a lifting gear, an active light source and a camera are mounted to a trolley of the lifting gear. Both, the light source and the camera are directed towards the load. The load has attached thereto at least one marker used for the recognition of the load position and including an active light source. In response to incoming light from the light source on the trolley, the light source of the marker transmits a light signal to the camera.
Abstract:
A method and a device for determining the swinging motion of a load suspended from a lifting gear are disclosed. The lifting gear includes a trolley equipped with a camera that can be oriented towards the load. The load includes at least two spaced apart markers, with one marker located on or near the axis of swing, which extends in the lifting direction. A swinging motion of the load can be determined from the position of two markers, whereby at least one marker is recorded by the camera and its position is determined. At least at certain points in time, the swing is determined by including a virtual position of a marker.
Abstract:
A method and a device for determining the rotary oscillation of a load suspended from a lifting gear are disclosed. The lifting gear includes a trolley equipped with a camera that can be oriented towards the load. The load includes at least two spaced apart markers, with one marker located on or near the axis of rotation, which extends in the lifting direction. A rotary oscillation of the load can be determined from the position of two markers, whereby at least one marker is recorded by the camera and its position is determined. At least at certain points in time, the rotary oscillation is determined by including a virtual position of a marker.
