Verification of Crane Control Algorithm

Abstract: In the present world the heavy machine applications have grown more sophisticated. Crane is designed in such a way to perform the tasks that are hard for human beings, in order to make the work faster and easier. In this area of crane utilization, forwarder movement is the key in performing most of the tasks. Forwarder movement plays an important role in tasks such as collecting logs from the ground and moving them from one place to another. These types of cranes find a wide range of utilization in forestry applications. In order to perform these tasks movement of the forwarder has to be according. Depending on the loads to carry the size of the forwarder also varies. Partial automation of the crane movement in the form of forwarder movement is the area of interest. Aim of the thesis is to concentrate on automation of crane link, to be more specific, the prismatic link. This can be achieved through the verification of the mechanism and similarity of the two algorithms in the Matlab system and in the DASA system.
