Lifting Machines as Mechatronic Systems

The design of the travelling crane as a mechatronic system presumes several independent functional structures that are unified into a single machinery unit to provide for material handling as a final activity of the lifting machine. The structures include  

The requirements for the individual structures, as governed by valid legislation, are vast and various, for example, control systems redundancy (electronic principle), technical diagnostics for drives and steel-supporting structures (mechanical and electronic principle), limit switches for limiting movement (electronic principle). 

A travelling crane is typical for the following types of dangers that occnr after the inclusion of the crane in a logistic system  

Oscillation of the load attached to the suspension device, diagonal pull 

Apart from falling off the crane and handling activities on the suspension device, all other dangers can be characterized by the mechatronic principle.
