Slew, Height and Area Limiter – Arealics

Slew, height and area limiter Arealics is a system that can prevent an excavator to work in a certain dangerous area. That can be a slew section, virtual wall or high area. The system defines the radius and the height, by means of stainless steel IP67 angle sensors, fitted to each jib section of the machine. The slew angle is defined in parts of a degree, by means of counter sensors in combination with proximity switches on the slew ring of the machine.
The system is controlled and set by means of a touch screen in the cabin. The operator can set the limited height or working area from the screen. It is also possible to create a virtual wall on either side of the machine to prevent (eg. for rail machines) working over a live rail.
As soon as the arm or the attachment of the machine threaten to intrude the limited area, this motion is stopped, while the adverse motion remains free to leave this area again. This stopping action will automatically be slowed down and as an extra this slow down can be fitted at other movements to prevent brusque stopping action.

Specifications 4,3” touchscreen display Complete setting of the limiter through the touch screen in the cab IP67 Stainless steel angles sensors Maximum use of the limited working area Switches off the movement of each individual jib section or tool Possibility of individual implementation of all the different attachments Integrated “black box” data logger Can be fitted to all sorts of machines.
