The expensive thing in industry is not the repair, it is the production line standing still. Gauss Crane moves you from the classic “fix it when it breaks” model of reactive maintenance to the “warn before it breaks” model of predictive maintenance.
Smart Software and Hardware Protection
The servo drives in our systems sample motor torque, temperature and voltage fluctuation thousands of times a second.
- Brake Pad Protection: On manual cranes the biggest failure is a broken brake pad, caused by the operator forcing the system while the brake is locked. Gauss software detects that “abnormal load” and locks the system within a tenth of a second, preventing 95% of the mechanical damage.
- Fast Diagnosis from Fault Codes: When something goes wrong, your technician no longer spends hours asking “why won’t it run?”. The specific fault code on the digital display (e.g. E-04 Low Voltage) cuts response time from an hour to five minutes.
Service Hours and Service Life
Durability: Thanks to the brushless construction and digital control of servo motors, the electronics have a service life of more than 50,000 hours.
Conventional: lubrication and chain inspection every 1,000 - 2,000 hours.
Gauss Crane: one inspection every 5,000 operating hours, or once a year.
