Detection of the crane position

The non-contact KH53 linear encoder for measuring length makes it possible to detect the position of the crane portal precisely over a distance of up to 1,700 m. Thanks to the absolute position detection, a reference run is not required. Furthermore, the linear encoder also works under difficult ambient conditions without displaying signs of wear.
