ARMLOAD is a Data acquisition system designed for Cranes ( primarily for offshore and overseas applications).

The system is based on micro-controller circuits which display vital parameters such as Angle or Radius and Maximum Rated Load as per the crane’s load chart besides displaying the Actual load.  

A load sensor (load-cell) mounted on the boom tip senses the weight and provides load data whereas an angle sensor assembly comprising of a digital encoder or a potentiometric transducer senses the angle of the boom and provides angle data. 

ARMLOAD gives error indications, both audio and visual, if the value of the actual load approaches the maximum rated load at a particular angle. Each error signal is defined as a percentage of the maximum rated load. For example, the audio indication can be activated at 90% and the visual indication can be triggered at 95% of the rated load.  

To disable the error indication, the crane operator must either increase the angle of the boom or reduce the actual load being lifted so that it reaches the permissible safe value.

This ensures safety during normal crane operations; helps in preventing accidents and loss of expensive cargo or invaluable human lives.  

Armload is housed in robust weather resistant enclosures made from Stainless steel(316) and Aluminium; powder coated in Black or dark Grey colours for aesthetic appeal. 

The parameters are displayed by bright Red seven segment LED displays which provide better visibility over a wide angle of viewing. The unit is provided with function keys for Tare & Reset ; calibration may be of software or hardware type.
