Spreader Anti-Sway System (SASS)
SASS Spreader Electronic Anti-Sway System
The system first employs an open-loop predictive control algorithm, integrating the motion states of the Trolley and the Spreader to proactively plan the Trolley’s speed and preemptively suppress potential sway. Subsequently, in the closed-loop phase, it leverages real-time attitude data obtained from the SDS (Spreader Attitude Detection) / IMU system to perform precise compensation, thereby achieving truly Intelligent electronic anti-sway functionality.
Core capacity
Under various operating conditions, such as full load and no load, when the Trolley decelerates from full speed to a complete stop at the target position, the system can achieve:
The Spreader’s maximum swing amplitude converges to within ±5 cm within 1–2 cycles.
Quickly approaching a state of rest, significantly improving the positioning accuracy and automation efficiency of RTG equipment.
It exhibits excellent compatibility with conventional mechanical anti-sway systems, enabling coordinated operation without mutual interference.
No VFD modification required; plug-and-play, easy deployment.
Product Features
The electronic anti-sway performance is far superior to that of traditional mechanical anti-sway systems.
Two-stage Intelligent Control: Open-loop Prediction + Closed-loop Suppression
It can operate in conjunction with mechanical anti-sway systems without interfering with each other.
No need to modify inverter parameters; low retrofitting cost.
The algorithm features strong real-time performance and rapid response.
