The FLP6000ASC Skew Control Software
for the Positioning Solution System
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY OF LONG-SPAN BRIDGE CRANES
The FLP6000ASC (ASC = Advanced Skew Control) add-on software for the Positioning Solution System is an extremely accurate positioning solution that eliminates skew.
Optional add-on

for Positioning Solution System
The FLP6000ASC controls logistics vehicles by using two independent drives for bridge cranes and, in part, for stacker cranes (lifting table).
It comprises skew control as well as an optional trolley and hoist control. The linear control features lessen wear and dampen load vibrations, preventing or reducing undesired oscillations to a minimum.
Skew caused by friction or the slipping of a single axis, uneven loads, load changes or wear of drive wheel rails increases the machine‘s rate of wear.
The FLP6000ASC add-on for the Positioning Solution System ensures accurate positioning in the shortest possible time, simultaneously reducing facility wear, because it not only guarantees a synchronized motor operation but also a straight, consistent movement of the bridge.
FLP6000ASC Advantages
- Compensates for and eliminates skew by adapting motion path planning while the machine is moving
- Fast, integrated closed-loop positioning
- Additional trolley or hoist positioning
- Reduced facility wear
- Extremely fail-safe system
- Replaces Trimble ASC systems without the need for additional adjustments
- Communication protocols: ASCII, Modbus, DF 1
- Industry-standard components
Bridge Crane Alignment
The FLP6000ASC can adjust the skewing of bridge cranes prior to crane operation and while the crane is en route to its destination. For particular applications, deliberate skewing can be introduced.
Example: A bridge crane lowers steel plates onto a production line that is positioned diagonally to the crane path. In this case, skewing can be introduced to ensure that the crane is moving parallel to the production line and lowers the plates at the correct angle. This can be defined in the vehicle‘s motion path profile.

Aside from the FLP6000ASC, the complete system configuration includes two distance meters that are used as absolute measuring systems and are installed on each crane axis. The FLP6000ASC controls the independent motor and gear components of each axis. The FLP6000ASC thus enables the synchronized operation of both absolute encoders, eliminating accidental sampling-related skewing.
The axis retains the proper adjustment during all stages of movement. The FLP6000ASC can even eliminate manually introduced skewing by straightening the bridge.
Improved solution for new and existing installations
The Positioning Solution System is an ideal replacement for Trimble applications and fine-tunes skew control in industrial facilities
