A ship’s hydraulic A-frame is an important asset on-board a vessel and is used for lifting, moving, and deploying all types of equipment to perform its mission and deliver objectives.
Keeping the winch and A-frame system well maintained and working within design parameters is essential to safe and accurate operations and continued equipment availability. With extensive lifting, winch and crane experience, Water Weights have developed an integrated A-Frame Monitoring System.
The package is highly flexible and visually represented onscreen for quick and easy reference with additional audible and logged information during critical A-frame and winching operations.
The overriding benefit of the monitoring system is safe and effective operations.
By providing clear and concise information to the operator in an easily recognized graphical format additional data is provided with minimal increase in operator workload. The audio- visual alarms warn the operator action is required when the display is not being monitored.
Other features such as data logging are transparent to the operator. The system is programmable for most A-frame/Winch systems and is fully scalable allowing additional variables such as wind or sea state to be integrated.
The wireless sensors allow simple new or retrofit installation. Sensor cabling is not required allowing quick install in hard to reach locations or in areas where conventional equipment may constitute trip hazards.
The standard Monitoring package consists of a suite of ultra rugged Battery powered wireless
telemetry measurement sensors. These sensors communicate acquired data back to the HMI
allowing real time alarms, data logging and visual representation of the A frame position and
loads during operations.
