The FMS system enables the continuous measurement of actual lateral guiding forces during operation, providing valuable insights into crane behavior and rail system conditions. By converting mechanical loads into standardized 4–20 mA signals, the system delivers reliable real-time data for advanced condition monitoring and predictive maintenance strategies.
Measurement data can be directly evaluated by the crane control system (PLC), allowing operators to continuously monitor operating conditions and identify abnormalities at an early stage.
