Overload prevention function is included as standard.
|
Mitsubishi inverter hoists have an overload prevention function as standard, which stops hoisting when an overload is detected.
The overload judgment value is adjustable within a range from 100 to 125 percent of the rated load.
The overload detection signal is output by terminal [OUT3].
It can be set to stop the hoisting operation when an overload is detected.
(The factory setting is that the hoisting is not stopped even if an overload is detected.) |

Reduction of shock at starting and stopping |
Mitsubishi inverter hoists can reduce the shock and shaking of the hoisting load considerably. Therefore, they are very useful for delicate load positioning and the load position can be controlled as you like. |
3 |
Adjustable hoisting speed
|
Hoisting speed can be adjusted freely in a range from minimum speed to standard speed. This allows operators to select the most suitable speed for their jobs.
Switching between high and low speed is facilitated by a two stage push button operation. |
4 |
Highly controllable inching operation |
Mitsubishi inverter hoists enable highly controllable inching operation, enabling delicate load positioning with ease. The traversing inverter allows sharp speed reduction by pushing the opposite direction button. |
5 |
Low wearing brake and machine parts |
Mitsubishi inverter hoists can improve durability of brake discs, wire ropes, gears and sheaves because Mitsubishi inverter hoists drastically reduce load shock. (However, frequent use of light load, high speed mode may increase brake disc wear.)
Unlike conventional hoists (non inverter hoists), it is not necessary to replace the electromagnetic contacts.
Simplified design has reduced the number of parts, contributing to reduced failure risk and extended life span of many parts. Brake disc wear can be checked easily through a window on the brake box.
(The pressure plate and brake disc have wear limit indications. The window allows you to check whether the adjustment ring has dropped.) |
6 |
Electronic limit switches (for upper and lower limits) |
Electronic limit switches can decelerate and stop the hook automatically by detecting the hook position.
All position settings (deceleration and stop positions) can be controlled at the same time, allowing you to replace the wire rope with ease.
Unnecessary position settings can be canceled. For example, only the setting of the lower limit stop position is required when other positions are not used. |

Light load, high speed operation function (Automatic speed change function) |
This function detects the load and changes the hoisting speed automatically when the load is between 0% and 25% of the rated load. If hoist is less than 7.5 tons, hoisting speeds are changed automatically to 1.5x faster than standard speeds. And if over 10 ton hoists, they are changed to 2x faster than standard speeds. The judgment value is changeable in the range of 25% to 50% (in use) of the rated load for users who use a load handling device. This function can be used even under combined hoisting operation.
It can be set to output "R" phase voltage from the "OUT 3" terminal when the load value is judged.
It can prevent the case where only one side of the hoist changes to high speed automatically if each hoist's "OUT 3" is connected to the other side of terminal "IN 4".
The operation frequency of the light load, high speed operation function can be changed. (It is possible that hoists with special long lifts cannot equip the light load, high speed operation function.) |
8 |
Numerous output signals |
Signals are output from OUT1 at the upper limit stop point, and from OUT 2 at the lower limit.
Signals are output from OUT3 when overload evaluation is carried out, and from OUT4 during operation. Settings can be changed to get signals from OUT3 when light loading evaluation is done. |
9 |
Speed coordination function |
This function is to restrict the load slope attributed to combined hoisting operation.
The low hoisting speed and low lowering speed are within ±20% (within JIS stipulated range).
This function also enables very stable hoisting and lowering speed (within ±1%). |
10 |
Environmental considerations |
Efforts to remove environmental toxins from our products continued.
(Solders for printed-circuit boards, alloys for wire rope ends, and coating materials were modified to be lead-free. Hexavalent chrome plating was changed to trivalent chrome plating.)
Brake discs and packing do not contain asbestos.
Mitsubishi hoisting motors save energy by designing to restrict motor temperature rises during inching operation. |
11 |
Protection function |
This function is to stop the hoist temporarily for safety when the hoist detects power failure, abnormal power supply voltage and over current, etc.
Error canceling can be stopped by pushing the button excluding some error mode.
(When a stop mode is required to reset the power, checking the hoist is recommended.) |
