Info & pictures

Customer: Seatrade
Crane type: Liebherr BW 20/20 double crane
Project period: 2023

Project overview

In an intensive two-week assignment on the high seas, two of our employees brought two Liebherr BW 20/20 double cranes up to the latest state of the art.

The aim of the modernization was to optimize the control systems, sensors and operability of the cranes and make them fit for the future.

Measures implemented:

  • New control system: The outdated PCB Logic Control has been replaced by an ultra-modern one programmed by us. IFM control replaced.
  • Modernized communication: Introduction of a CAN bus systemwhich enables precise synchronization between the cranes and significantly increases the efficiency of the control system. Analog signal transmission has been completely replaced.
  • High-precision sensor technology: Integration of specially developed Rotary encoder with cam limit switches for hoist, luffing gear and slewing gear, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency.
  • Improved ease of use: Installation of a Touch panels and new Joystickswhich make operation considerably easier. Settings that previously had to be laboriously made using potentiometers can now be adjusted directly and intuitively via the panel.

Result:
With these modernizations, we have not only optimized the functionality of the cranes, but also significantly increased their reliability and future-proofing. The cranes are now ready for the challenges of the modern shipping industry.
