SIMOCRANE CenSOR camera measuring system
Depending on the task to be performed and the environmental
conditions, sway control systems can be implemented with or
without camera measuring systems. If a camera is used, it has
the task of observer for detecting deviations in the ideal sway re-
sponse for the situation.
SIMOCRANE CenSOR is a camera measuring system which is
typically deployed for cranes in order to determine the position
of a marker at distances ranging from 1 to 55 m.
The standard model of the SIMOCRANE CenSOR
camera measuring system consists of a camera with integrated
processing unit, an integrated infrared flash (in different ver-
sions) and a retroreflecting reflector whose size is determined by
the maximum distance between reflector and camera.
The SIMOCRANE CenSOR camera measuring system is avail-
able in two different variants:
•
Outdoor variant: The camera is installed in a stainless-steel
housing. This variant is suitable for outdoor applications.
•
Indoor variant: The camera is supplied without an enclosure
and is ideally suited to applications inside buildings. This
variant is only available for the 16 mm lens with a 10 m cable.

When using a camera measuring system a reflector is also re-
quired which is attached to the load suspension device.
The dimensions of the reflector are dependent on the maximum
distance to be measured by the camera. The camera measuring
system determines the offset of the reflector in a plane perpen-
dicular to the camera axis and the rotation of the reflector.
The reflectors are specially designed to handle vibrations that
typically occur on cranes and are attached to the load suspen-
sion device.
The reflectors are equipped with a heating system to melt snow.
