High Reliablitity Infra-Red Hoist Positioning System

Source: Baker Technology Associates
Enables hoist(s) to move at substantially higher speeds (with adequate distance), can reduce cycle-time and increase line throughput, or can be used to increase drip times and thereby reduce recurring costs of rinsewater, dragout (plating chemicals), waste treatment chemicals and sludge removal
  • Enables hoist(s) to move at substantially higher speeds (with adequate distance), can reduce cycle-time and increase line throughput, or can be used to increase drip times and thereby reduce recurring costs of rinsewater, dragout (plating chemicals), waste treatment chemicals and sludge removal.

  • "Absolute" positioning with no physical or mechanical contact whatsoever, and requiring no reference points, calibration or adjustment. Does NOT count stations, rather uses unique station location software which precludes the hoist from ever going to the "wrong station".

  • Highly accurate, (+/-.833 mm), allows for minimum flight bar "target" and substantial reductions in open tank area, with reduction in recurring cost of make-up and exhaust air handling equipment operation and initial exhaust equipment investment. Less open tank area will also reduce energy losses on heated tanks.

  • In the event of hoist over-travel, (i.e. hoist wheel slippage), hoist will automatically back-up to proper (unique) reading-location.

  • In the event of power loss, no re-positioning is required, as the hoist will immediately recognize its location.

  • Self-diagnostic trouble-shooting.
