Positioning lasers for cranes and hoists

LAP’s positioning lasers provide visual positioning aid for safe storage, and the loading and unloading of goods.

Avoid costs arising from damaged goods. Our lasers minimize the risk of damage by ensuring the correct positioning of lifting equipment.

Visual position aid increases safety

Coil cranes and hoists simplify storage, loading and unloading when handling coils. However, when the lifting equipment is incorrectly positioned, it can lead to collisions and damage the coils. For steel processors, these incidents may result in substantial financial losses. XtrAlign positioning lasers from LAP can help prevent the risk of damage. Laser lines give visual aid to the operator to safely position the lifting devices. Mounted directly on coil lifters/grabs/tongs, the lasers project the hoist’s best position onto the ground. If all lines are visible to the operator, the device can safely be lowered.
Industrial lasers with line or cross optics are most suitable for the application. The lasers can be manually focused for optimum projection visibility and adjusted without tools in any mounting position.

Your benefits

Higher process reliability

Visual position control increases safety for personnel and goods. The precision within a millimeter range and good visibility of the laser lines ensure that your goods are positioned exactly as desired.

Cost savings

Prevent high costs from damaged coils. Avoid positioning errors that may cause collisions. The investment in the laser system pays off by minimizing rejects.

Robustness

The lasers in the XtrAlign family are especially designed for use in harsh industrial environments as the robust stainless steel housing protects the laser source from any mechanical shock (IK10). This means high reliability for your processes and for your investment.
