DSM-500 :: SAFE STABILIZATION AND EFFICIENT MACHINE OPERATION

Variable stabilization for maximum machine utilization

The ultrasonic measurement system measures the extension length of the outriggers in Aerial Work platforms for Mobile cranes, that lie within a measurement range of up to 5 m. Located on the chassis, information is transmitted to the Superordinate Control system. Information on the current span width of each individual outrigger is then made available to the machine. This system enables variable stabilization, ensuring maximum utilization of the work platform, concrete pump or mobile crane. Its contactless operating principle, makes it maintenance and wear-free.

The DSM-500 can also be used on the telescopic arm to measure the projection length. The DSM-500 Ultrasonic Measurement system consists of two sensors - a master and a slave. Each of these sensors alternate, acting as both a transmitter, and a receiver, generating two independent measurements. Additional safety measurements enable inspection and approval, according to DIN EN ISO 13849 PL d.

As a result of the transmitter-receiver principle, reflections are disregarded. Obstacles have no influence on the result. Selected electronic components,  as well as robust wear-free design, guarantee operating precision and perfect results, even under extremely harsh conditions. The compact design makes for simple mounting of the DSM-500 sensors on the support, allowing for one system to cover the entire product line. Optional retrofitting is then made simple.
