Converteam provides the right solution to ensure efficient and reliable operation of cranes. Based on long-standing experience, the components are all well equipped for demanding operating conditions.

The core components are:

  • The modular ProCrane drive system
  • Crane control and regulation system for all technological tasks based on the high performance controller C80 HPCi
  • Crane management system for visualization, fault monitoring, analyzing, and error locking, post-mortem analysis, statistics and documentation
  • Technological software, such as: automatic target positioning, anti-sway systems, laser-controlled position detection systems
  • Special designed compact motors with high-tech encoder technology

Saving Energy with ProCrane
ProCrane is based on the principle of Active Energy Management (AEM). At its basic level, the AEM configuration contains power units, which can be configured either as mains pulse inverter or as motor pulse inverters in order to enable generation of a controlled DC link voltage when connected to a mains supply, or in order to control AC motors when connected to a DC link supply.
Connecting such units via a common DC link , the drive system stores energy, which is generated during the load lowering phase, and releases the energy during hoisting or accelerating operations. The ProCrane drive system is a major contribution towards energy saving as well as reduced reactive power and harmonic distortion in the grid. Furthermore, investment in cables, switchgear units, filters, transformers and compensation systems, can be considerably reduced – ProCrane is the perfect drive system for cranes.
