Overload control system Weightwatcher

The Henning overload control system Weightwatcher is based on a patented measuring principle. There is a sensor installed at each rope in the shaft or at the hitchpoint. These sensors no longer need to be calibrated using weights; the time-consuming usage of weights is no longer necessary.

 

Storekeeping, too, is simplified: one sensor module matches different rope diameters or eye bolt diameters. The rope tension setting assistant integrated in the software is unique and amazingly simple: it only takes a few minutes to achieve an optimum setting of a complete set of ropes. This and the permanent rope tension monitoring feature allow the undesired and needless wear of traction sheaves and ropes to be prevented in a reliable manner.

 

 

Highlights:

 

Calibration with weights not necessary thanks to the patented measuring principle

Suitable for different rope diameters and rope types and belts

4 programmable alarm relays or CANopen (depending on the evaluation unit)

Up to 12 rope sensors per evaluation unit

Integrated slack rope alarm

Permanent monitoring of the load distribution

Equipped with USB interface and free PC software

Software wizard for the adjustment of the optimum single rope tension to avoid unnecessary wear

automatic compensation chains and rope measurement

 

Method of function:

 

Every single rope is fitted with a load sensor. Either directly at the rope or at the hitchpoint. The sensors are simply plugged into the evaluation unit AE 12 which – without any calibration by weights – immediately indicates the overall weight and the individual rope loads. The desired alarms are set via the display and keys of the unit or via the free PC software. The unit then triggers the alarms for up to 4 different load limits, slack rope conditions and any diverging individual rope loads.
