Unwanted Motion
BEYOND CRANES
Sway Master™ technology can do more than improve crane performance and safety. It can address the broader issue of unwanted motion, e.g. vibration, oscillation and sway, in a wide variety of automation and industrial settings. Virtually any material handling application will benefit from reduced unwanted motion. We have already conducted successful lab demonstrations for a variety of material handling applications, including Cartesian robots, stacked conveyancing and liquid handling i.e. slosh. We have also conducted preliminary work that would suggest that we can apply similar techniques to improve the performance and safety of hydraulic systems, including ladder extensions and man lifts.
