Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the control of material transfer machines and/or construction machines having camera assistance. The invention here in particular relates to a method and to an apparatus for controlling a material transfer machine and/or a construction machine, in particular in the form of a crane, of an excavator, or of a crawler-type vehicle, wherein an image of the piece of working equipment is provided to a machine operator and/or to a machine control by an imaging sensor. The invention furthermore also relates to the material transfer machine and/or construction machine itself, in particular to a crane, having a display apparatus for displaying an image of the piece of working equipment and/or of the environment of the piece of working equipment. It is proposed to use a remote-controlled aerial drone which is equipped with at least one imaging sensor and by means of which the desired image of the piece of working equipment and/or of the equipment environment can be provided from different directions of view.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a crane, in particular to a revolving tower crane, having a load suspension means attached to a hoist rope, drive devices for moving a plurality of crane elements and for traveling the load suspension means, a control apparatus for controlling the drive devices such that the load suspension means travels along a travel path, and an oscillation damping device for damping oscillation movements of the load suspension means, wherein said oscillation damping device has a control module for influencing the control of the drive devices in dependence on oscillation-relevant criteria. It is proposed not only to take account of the actual oscillation movement of the rope per se in the oscillation damping measures, but also the dynamics of the steel construction of the crane and its drivetrains.

Abstract: A construction machine, in particular in the form of a crane, cable excavator or similar, comprising an electronic control device for controlling and/or detecting operating parameters, in addition to at least one drive device for moving a functional element, especially a load take-up means. The functional element of the construction machine is guided in the desired direction by the exertion of manipulation forces on the functional element, or on a component fastened thereto, or the functional element is moved manually in a designated direction, this motion then being assisted by the drives of the construction machine. If the functional element is manually pressed or pulled in a designated direction and/or rotated, or if this is at least attempted, these motion attempts are detected and converted into a corresponding positioning motion of the construction machine.

Abstract: A method for assembling electric switching systems includes wiring and/or connecting electric components together at specific connection points may be used in conjunction with an assembly support device for simplifying and/or checking the assembly of such electric switching systems. A respective component which is provided for connecting in the switching system is identified by an identifying device. At least one target connection point where the identified component is to be connected is determined by a connection point determining device on the basis of the component identified by the identifying device, and the actual connection point where the component has actually been connected is monitored by a monitoring device. If the detected actual connection point deviates from the target connection point, an error message is output.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a crane, in particular a tower crane, telescopic boom crane, harbor crane and the like, with a load hook that can be raised or lowered via movable crane elements, and moved within a crane working area by operating drive units associated with the crane elements. The crane is provided with a control unit with input means to control the drive units. According to the present disclosure, the crane uses a mobile portable target signal transmitter that can be variably positioned in the crane working area, and positioning means for automatically determining the current position of the target signal transmitter relative to the load hook and/or a crane element, and target control means for automatically controlling the drive units in response to a signal from the positioning means, such that the load hook is automatically moved to the mobile target signal transmitter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to adjustment and/or drive units which can be used in wind power plants for adjusting the azimuth angle of the nacelle of the wind power plant or the pitch angle of the rotor blades, wherein such an adjustment and/or drive unit has at least two adjusting drives for rotating two assemblies which are mounted so as to be rotatable relative to each other, and has a control device for controlling the adjusting drives. The control device controls the adjusting drives in such a manner that the adjusting drives are braced relative to each other during the rotation of the two assemblies and/or when the assemblies are at standstill. The invention further relates to a wind power plant comprising such an adjustment and/or drive unit, and to a method for controlling such an adjustment and/or drive unit. According to the invention, the control device comprises a bracing-adjustment device for variably adjusting the intensity of the bracing of the adjusting drives as a function of a variable external load on the assemblies being adjusted, wherein the intensity can be determined by means of a load determining device. According to another aspect of the invention, an overload protection is included, wherein the individual loads of the individual adjusting drives are determined by load determining devices and, in the event that an adjusting drive reaches overload, the distribution of the drive torques is modified in such a manner that the adjusting drive reaching overload is relieved or at least not further loaded, and at least one further adjusting drive is more heavily loaded in a supporting manner or is less heavily loaded in a bracing manner.
