Indirect measurement using one or two pressure sensors

(piston side / rod and piston side pressure) and angle sensor

qSCALE I2 Crane Configurator Tool

The unique and easy-to-use qSCALE I2 Crane Configurator tool
excludes complex application software programming.
Simple configuration of crane parameters and features, including
SLI functions, significantly reduces the system integration time.
qSCALE I2 Crane Configurator contains a comprehensive set of
default graphics and languages, hence the graphic layout can be
defined in just a few clicks.
Detailed documentation of the crane configuration and crane
data, as well as comprehensive service menus, are available on
the console and PC.

T he unique qSCALE I2 calibration process determines the geometric details of the crane from just a few initial geometric data,
even in case of inaccuracies.

Lifecycle support

T he calibration process is completed within a few hours and is

only necessary for the first prototype of the crane model. Further
cranes of the same model require only reduced recalibration to
compensate production tolerances.
