3 DOF Crane
This product is no longer available.
Commonly used to build structures, tower cranes are designed to lift and move heavy objects over large distances safely. Operating them requires training and skills. The 3 DOF Crane experiment replicates much of the functionality of an actual tower crane and can be used to understand the dynamics and control challenges involved in everyday crane operations. For instance, the challenge of minimizing the motions of the load being carried introduces a great control problem for students.
