SGM offers both standard and customized control panels, tailored to specific operational requirements or customer preferences, including compatibility with preferred brands of electronic components. The panels incorporate PLC systems and AC/DC drives, all designed for industrial use.
Control systems for industrial lifts
With experience in integrating control panels with customer systems, SGM ensures seamless operation across various setups, from manual crane handling to fully automated remote-controlled systems. Each panel is supplied with detailed documentation, guaranteeing compliance with international safety and performance standards.
Options
SGM control panels offer a variety of operational features, allowing greater flexibility, safety, and efficiency in magnet handling systems.
- Pre-setting for radio control or PLC operation to integrate with automation systems.
- Selection of individual magnets within a multi-magnet system for optimized handling.
- Control of magnet spreader beam extensions, rotations, and safety arms for customized positioning.
- Temperature monitoring for electromagnet windings to prevent overheating.
- Anti-condensation heating and ventilation systems to protect internal components in challenging environments.
- Battery backup for electromagnets with continuous monitoring, operator warnings, and emergency braking functions to ensure load safety.
- Double power feeding cables for electromagnets with real-time monitoring to prevent failures.
- Boosted magnet energizing and de-energizing for up to 50% faster operation on large magnets.
- Variable lifting force settings for electromagnets, enabling partial lifting power for precise load control.
- Feathering mode for multiple plate handling, allowing selective pickup and controlled plate release based on thickness.
- Selective bundle release for multiple bundle handling applications.
Special optional features of control panels
- Reduction of residual magnetism in the load to prevent interference in sensitive applications, such as special alloy structurals. The control panel generates an alternating current pulse with decreasing amplitude during magnet de-energization, significantly reducing residual magnetism. The de-energizing curves can be customized via a touchscreen panel for different loads.
- Current-based magnet operation instead of voltage control, ensuring consistent and accurate lifting force by automatically adjusting voltage based on the magnet winding’s electrical resistance.
