Real time Height Limitation


Europe's largest manufacture of plant safety systems

Real time Height Limitation
PME100

PME100 has been designed and developed for monitoring and controlling the movement of any articulating equipment with the the main focus on aiding the protection of the asset, the safety of the operator and surrounding operatives.

Suitable for

  • Excavators - single or multiple articulations
  • Backhoe loaders - both front and rear equipment
  • Telehandlers
  • Mobile cranes (Height only) to EN13000:2010
  • Truck mounted cranes
  • Specialised equipment where height restriction is required

Benefits

  • Ensures safe operation of equipment allowing the operator to work with confidence
  • Reduces the need for additional staff when working under hazards
  • Improves operational efficiency
  • Improves safety management

Features

  • Real time height throughout the full movement range of the machinery
  • ‘Always on’ controller monitors and stores machine state ensuring complete traceability
  • Monitors and controls machine position remaining within set limits (optional motion cut required)
  • Controllable override function during digging operations
  • Temporary soft override allows operators movement to safe conditions during limit states
  • SIL1 safety version as standard. SIL2 as an option (per EN62061)
  • Warning on approach to limits (audible and visual)

Options

  • Optional motion cut on height and 2D envelope
  • Variant with full 2D envelope controlling depth, maximum and minimum radius
  • Fully described cab protection allowing for complex shapes
  • SIL1 safety version as standard. SIL2 as an option (per EN62061)
  • Upgradable to include ‘RCi’ and/or full envelope control, machine guidance

The system measures position via the use of sensors to guide the operator to stay within a user defined working envelope.  The basic system monitors vertical height with a fully featured variant available monitoring the machine’s vertical 2D envelope (height, reach, cab protection and depth), fully describing the machine’s working envelope.  Optional control on hydraulic motion can be installed to automatically override movement on reaching user-set limits.  The operator will benefit from KINSHOFER Prolec’s easy to use Man Machine Interface 'MMI' integrated within the foundation of PME.


PME100 is a cost effective Real time Height Limiter solution that does not compromise on quality or safety.
