Cranes and More

The library Cranes and More consists of these objects:

  • The MultiPortalCrane for picking up and for placing parts anywhere within a facility.

  • The StorageArea for placing parts for the MultiPortalCrane onto a storage area.

  • The GantryLoader for provide machines, which are placed in an axis, with parts.

  • The CrossSlidingCar for modeling conveying systems.

  • The Lift to raise or to lower parts to another level.

To add the Electrical Overhead Monorail objects to your simulation model, click Manage Class Library > Libraries > Standard Libraries > Free on the Home ribbon tab.

This adds the toolbar CranesAndMore to the Toolbox.

Note:

By default the Cranes and More library is locked. You can unlock it though by right-clicking it and selecting Edit Library Information. Then, clear the check box Lock Library.

Note:

Plant Simulation checks about every half hour if a newer version of any of the loaded libraries exists.

Note:

We modeled the Cranes and More in Frames and with the object Dialog. For this reason the windows of the objects do not use the standard Siemens PLM theme, but your Windows theme. Also opening Help with F1 and What’s This Help in the dialogs of the objects in the dialogs of the objects do not work. To open help for an object, select Help > Help on Object in its dialog.
