The MultiPortalCrane can pick up a part and place it anywhere within a facility. It thus is ideally suited for:
The shipyard industry where parts are picked up from a truck, are then assembled on pre-assembly stations and the finished components are put together to form the ship. The crane can also be used for clamping and holding components or blocks until they are tack welded.
Loading and unloading machines with the MultiPortalCrane being the feeder. It can either move on runways on the floor of the facility or on rails attached to the ceiling of the production area.
Be aware that the MultiPortalCrane only provides a set of basic functions. These functions serve as the starting point for developing the crane that best suits your specific needs.
Several MultiPortalCranes can drive on the same crane runway. For this reason you have to position each portal, each trolley, and each hook of each of the individual cranes. The basic functions for detecting collisions of the portals prevent them from colliding with each other.
Plant Simulation checks about every half hour if a newer version of any of the loaded libraries exists.
We modeled the objects of the object libraries as application objects based on Frames. For this reason opening Help with F1 and What’s This Help in the dialogs of the objects do not work. To open help for an object, select Help > Help on Object in its dialog.
We modeled the dialogs of the objects with the object Dialog. The windows of the objects do not use the standard Siemens PLM theme, but your Windows theme.
To assign the object another name or a label, click it with the right mouse button and select Rename.
