Hook Inclination Monitoring

Angle Sensor

A dual-axis angle sensor designed to detect and mitigate off-axis SidePull loading during crane hoisting. The module continuously monitors hook alignment and triggers configurable interlocks to protect wire rope, rope guide, hoist mechanisms, and structural components — integrating directly with IntelliKran PLCs.

Angle Sensor

Sensor Accuracy

±0.3°, dual-axis X/Y

Interlock Safety

5 programmable outputs for motion trip logic

Wireless Access

Remote monitoring, setup, and calibration

Environment

24V DC, IP67, -40°C to +85°C

Functional Characteristics

  • Continuous dual-axis hook inclination monitoring in X and Y axes
  • Direction-specific SidePull detection: X+, X-, Y+, and Y-
  • Real-time angular deviation evaluation against configurable thresholds
  • Internal SidePull event counting for operational statistics
  • Programmable digital interlock outputs for hoisting motion safety

Output Control Logic

  • Output 1: Trip hoisting (UP) on SidePull detection in any axis
  • Output 2: Trip hoisting on X+ axis SidePull
  • Output 3: Trip hoisting on X- axis SidePull
  • Output 4: Trip hoisting on Y+ axis SidePull
  • Output 5: Trip hoisting on Y- axis SidePull
