Development of Spreader Positioning Control System for Remote Automated Transfer Crane by MBD Method

To enhance the cycle time of transfer cranes used in remote automatic operations, improving the performance of spreader positioning is essential. In this study, the capabilities and layout of an optimal positioning device, as well as the performance evaluation of anti-sway and spreader positioning, were conducted using a coupled analysis method that integrates a three-dimensional physical mechanism model with a control circuit model. This method was confirmed to enable effective investigation of mechanism parameters, control strategies, and control parameters based on dynamic behavior prediction, thereby contributing to the reduction of both development cost and development time.
