The present invention addresses the problem of providing a crane capable of detecting a suspension location of a payload, in order to enable accurate positioning of a hook at the suspension location of the payload. This crane comprises: a freely derricking boom provided to a swivel; and a sub-hook block and a sub-hook suspendedly provided from the boom. The crane also comprises: a boom camera capable of imaging a payload that is to be carried by the crane; hook cameras capable of imaging the payload from different viewpoints than the boom camera; and a control device for controlling the crane. The control device acquires images obtained by imaging the payload with the boom camera and the hook cameras, runs image processing on the images, and calculates a suspension location of the payload.

This crane is provided with: a operable functional unit; an operation unit for receiving an operation input for operating the operable functional unit; an actuator that drives the operable functional unit; a first generation unit that generates a first control signal for the actuator on the basis of the operation input; a switch unit that can be switched between a first state and a second state; a first filter unit that filters the first control signal to generate a second control signal when the switch unit is in the second state; and a control unit that controls the actuator on the basis of the first control signal when the switch unit is in the first state, and controls the actuator on the basis of the second control signal when the switch unit is in the second state.

An electric rotating machine according to an embodiment includes a stator element, a rotor element, and a housing. The rotor element is rotatable about a rotation axis. The housing houses the stator element and the rotor element, and is provided with an electric insulating portion on a part of or whole of an inner surface including a surface facing at least one of the stator element and the rotor element.

There is provided a crane including a crane body, and a mobile unit moving around the crane body. The crane body includes a power supply unit, and includes a power supply path member connected to the mobile unit and supplying power to the mobile unit from the power supply unit.

An induction sensor assembly for a securing and locking unit of a telescoping jib having at least one signal transmitter configured for generating an electromagnetic stray field oriented towards its active switching surface, and at least one switching element provided for contactless cooperation with the signal transmitter. The signal transmitter and switching element are displaceable relative to each other in relation to an adjusting direction extending in parallel with a main plane. To provide a simple and cost-effective installation of the induction sensor assembly despite having high detection security, the active switching surface of the signal transmitter and the main plane are inclined with respect to each other. As such, the electromagnetic stray field of the signal transmitter is also advantageously inclined whereby a possible displacement between the signal transmitter and switching element cannot exert an influence on the precision of the position detection in relation to the adjusting direction.

A self-maintaining crane system including a bridge, a trolley, a hoist, and sensors for use within a hostile environment, such as a wastewater treatment facility, is presented. The bridge is movable along a pair of runway rails within the hostile environment. The trolley is movable between the runway rails. The hoist with extendable-retractable cable is movable with the trolley. Bridge sensors separately determine whether the bridge has engaged a bridge home position and a bridge end position. The bridge is movable away from the bridge home position and back toward the bridge end position. Trolley sensors separately determine whether the trolley has engaged a trolley home position and a trolley end position. The trolley is movable away from the trolley home position and back toward the trolley end position. Hoist sensors separately determine whether the cable has engaged a hoist home position and a hoist end position. The cable is extendable away from the hoist home position and retractable toward the hoist end position. Sensors facilitate automated movement of bridge, trolley, and cable so as to minimize functional impairment of the crane system by the hostile environment.

To accurately present information about the shape and location of a hoisting load and an object located near the hoisting load, regardless of the orientation and operational state of the crane. A guide information display device, wherein a camera images part of a work region of a crane, a laser scanner obtains a data point group of the work region captured by the camera, and a data processing unit: removes, from the obtained data point group, a data point group located between a hoisting load hanging from a crane and the tip end section of the telescopic boom of the crane; estimates, on the basis of the remaining data point group, the top surface of the hoisting load, the ground surface of the work region, and the top surfaces of objects located in the work region; generates guide frames which surround the top surfaces of the hoisting load and the objects; and overlaps the generated guide frames on the captured image, and displays the same on a data display unit.
