ControlPro

 

Innovation in hoist and crane condition reporting.

ControlPro is the innovative system by Konecranes for hoist and crane safety, condition, and performance control. ControlPro handles even heavy loads safely and with a high level of productivity. 

 

 

ControlPro Perform increases personnel and equipment safety.

  • Protection Against Overloading
    Overload protection is a matter of personnel safety. Overloading of the crane and hoist not only causes undue wear to the crane, but it can destroy the crane structures and the support structures of the building.Inverter control as standard in crane and trolley traveling
  • Select Different Load Limits
    ControlPro allows you to choose the load limit of your equipment. By selecting different maximum loads for specified factory areas and by using intermediate load limits, you can ensure safe usage practices. Safe use of the cranes requires some applications with intermediate load limits. As an option, up to three intermediate load limits can be given to prohibit the lifting of excessive loads.Accurate load positioning and reduced load swin

ControlPro Perform improves productivity. 

  • Speed Adjustments
    ControlPro by Konecranes allows the operator to adjust the speed for faster positioning and smooth load handling. In two-speed hoisting applications, ControlPro makes the starts, stops, changes in speed, and changes in direction as smooth as possible. In addition to the faster and safer load handling, the wear and mechanical stresses on equipment are substantially reduced.
  • Motor Temperature Supervision
    By controlling the starting and stopping characteristics, ControlPro contributes to reducing the temperature in the hoist motor. In exceptional peak usage situations, additional performance guarantee is provided by switching the motor off when the temperature limit is exceeded.

ControlPro Lifetime provides valuable information.

Versatile measuring, calculation, and monitoring functions provide valuable information of the actual usage of the hoist. This information makes it possible to plan maintenance based on actual use of the hoist rather than calendar time. The information allows optimising maintenance costs and is an additional guarantee for maximal uptime. Future modernization in the material handling processes and equipment can be planned easier and without unnecessary safety margins in calculations.

 

ControlPro Optic keeps you informed at any moment.

Get improved control in less time. The pendant controller is equipped with an easy-to-use and read display showing not only the load but also many other relevant information processed in ControlPro. ControlPro Optic allows you to check the usage and condition of your crane at any moment, without climbing up to the crane. Save time, reduce risks, and enhance performance.

 

ControlPro Multicare offers continuous control.

In applications where there are several hoists on a crane, ControlPro Multicare provides the continuous control of the sum load of each hoist on the bridge. This is vital in applications where the capacity of the crane is less than the lifting capacity of the individual hoists counted together. The operator can read and receive the information from each hoist from any pendant controller equipped with ControlPro Optic display.
