Overview
SIMOCRANE application examples
SIMOCRANE offers a range of perfectly interacting products that
can be combined to fulfill a wide range of different requirements.
The high degree of scalability is a decisive advantage for imple-
menting crane applications ranging from simple, manual appli-
cations to semi-automatic or fully-automatic crane applications.
The diversity and combination possibilities of SIMOCRANE
products for implementing the different requirements will be
illustrated here.
Through the use of Basic Technology and different Advanced
Technology functions, different applications can be implemen-
ted and various degrees of automation can be achieved.
Besides the high-performance solution SIMOCRANE provides
also a mid-performance solution as well.
Drive systems
SINAMICS is the drive platform from Siemens designed for
mechanical and plant engineering.
Crane applications place demanding requirements on the
dynamic response and integration capability of additional
technology functions.
SINAMICS S120 provides the solution for these demanding
tasks in combination with the technologies of SIMOCRANE.
SINAMICS S120 is characterized by the following properties:
• Modularity
•
Combination capability
•
High performance in terms of output and closed-loop control
Multi-axis drives with higher-level motion control solutions for
cranes can be implemented with the SINAMICS S120 modular
system as easily as single-drive solutions.
SIMOTICS motors
Siemens offers the ideal SIMOTICS motor for any application.
The challenge in the field of crane drives is to create increasingly
compact and dynamic motors in a wide range of outputs and
variants. Siemens offers a broad spectrum of hoist and gantry
motors to satisfy these demands. A suitable SIMOTICS motor of
induction design is available for every Motion Control task – with
ratings ranging from 2.2 to 1340 kW.
All SIMOTICS motors for Motion Control applications are opti-
mally designed to operate with the SINAMICS S120 drive sys-
tem.
