LaseCPY
Coil Positioning Yard
LaseCPY is a laser-based measurement system for the 3D position and dimension detection of coils and troughs in open or indoor coil yards. Depending on the warehouse width and the specific application, the system uses one or more 2D laser scanners to capture the stored coils during crane or trolley movement. The measurement results provide precise position and dimension data in the X, Y and Z axes. This data can be used for automated crane handling and supports the full automation of coil storage areas.
The Application
LaseCPY is designed for automated coil handling in steel industry storage yards and warehouses. The laser scanners are installed on the crane trolley or crane girder and detect the stored coils while the crane or trolley moves through the storage area.
During crane travel, the system records both the scan data from the laser scanners and the current crane or trolley positions. The collected data is analyzed in the LASE application software and converted into reliable position and dimension information.
After each pass across the entire warehouse, and already during the approach to defined storage locations, the processed measurement results are forwarded to the crane PLC or warehouse management system. This includes the positions of all coils and troughs in X, Y and Z direction as well as their dimensions.
Using this information, the warehouse management system can verify the warehouse layout and ensure that the PLC generates the appropriate movement commands for fully automated crane systems.
