LaseCPT
Coil Positioning Trucks
LaseCPT is a laser-based measurement system for the 3D position and dimension detection of coils on trucks, trailers or transport racks. Depending on the application, one or more 2D laser scanners capture the loading area and generate a precise 3D representation of coils and troughs. The measurement data can be used to support fully automated loading and unloading processes. Coil positions, coil dimensions and trough positions are transferred to the crane PLC or warehouse management system, enabling reliable travel commands and efficient material handling.
The Application
LaseCPT is designed for coil handling processes in the steel industry where precise position data is essential for safe and automated crane operation. The laser scanner or scanners are installed on the crane trolley or crane girder, depending on the layout and task.
During a measurement run, the system records both the scan data and the current crane or trolley position. This enables the LASE application software to calculate the exact 3D position of coils and troughs across the loading area.
Before loading or unloading, the complete truck, trailer or transport rack can be surveyed to determine the position and dimensions of all coils. During the approach to defined pickup or drop-off locations, the system can additionally verify final positions for individual coils and troughs.
The resulting data is forwarded to the crane PLC or warehouse management system. This allows the loading layout to be checked and provides the basis for automatically generated crane travel commands.
