Latest Patents
One of Kureck's latest patents is titled "System and method for determining a load in a material handling system." This invention discloses a method for measuring the load weight by detecting torque at various operating conditions, both at constant speed and during acceleration. The system stores torque data in the motor drive and uses it, along with speed signals, to determine the load present on the hoist. In scenarios where multiple hoists operate in tandem, each motor drive calculates the weight of the load supported by its respective hoist motor, allowing for a total weight assessment.
Another significant patent is the "Method and apparatus for calibrating and testing brake holding torque." This invention outlines a system for determining the holding torque of a brake in a material handling system, which includes a bridge, trolley, and hoist. The motor controller generates a torque command while keeping the brake set, incrementing the command until motion is detected. The torque value at which motion occurs is stored and displayed, providing valuable information to the operator.
