Feature fact sheet VACON® NXP drive anti-sway functionality Integrated sensorless control Anti-sway OFF Anti-sway On The VACON® NXP drive saves time and costs by controlling the sway in cranes with the help of integrated sensorless control in its anti-sway functionality. It increases the lifetime of the crane and reduces the stress on mechanical structures, for example, trollies, hoists or gantries. lifetime and improves its operational efficiency. Cranes are typically used in manufacturing or maintenance processes, where productivity and safety are considered the most important requirements. Swinging of the load during the crane’s movement is a severe problem affecting its ability to operate efficiently. Delays in production can be greatly reduced if load sway can be prevented. 3. Increased productivity Using the anti-sway functionality enables an improvement in productivity of 10–15 % and a high return on investment. 4. Improved system efficiency Reduced stress on the complete crane system reduces costs throughout its Up to 15% improved productivity with anti-sway functionality Danfoss’ anti-sway solution provides: 1. Better user experience Simple commissioning without complex tuning during commissioning of the crane. The anti-sway feature is easy to install with a license key, and easy to configure and adapt to the crane type and movement with only 2–3 additional parameters to be configured in the field. 2. Reduced structural stress Feature Integrated sensorless control Independent axis control Standard NXP hardware Only 2–3 parameters to set No skilled operator required to commission and operate the crane Benefit No extra hardware required No encoder or external sensor required to access anti-sway functionality No drive-to-drive communication required between hoist, trolley and travel axes to access anti-sway functionality Easy to order Functionality can be activated by generating the license during ordering process or upgrading in the field later using the license key. Easy to configure Reduces commissioning time of the crane Improves productivity Enhanced user friendliness drives.danfoss.com
