Fully Automatic Electromagnetic Beam Crane Solution
Automated magnetic handling crane serving a continuous industrial production line.
Automated plate and steel-product handling needs a crane that can position the lifting beam accurately, retain the load safely and coordinate with other cranes in the same bay. A standard electromagnetic crane still requires substantial manual intervention unless positioning, dispatch and load-control functions are integrated.
Henan Mine Crane independently developed a fully automatic electromagnetic beam crane designed for high automation, strong safety reliability and high positioning accuracy.
Project Background
The source project uses a rigid guide column to control sway and improve positioning. The hoisting system uses dual motors for lifting safety.
An electro-permanent magnetic lifting device is used. It requires only instantaneous energization for magnetization and then maintains magnetic holding without a continuous backup holding-power system.
The crane supports full automatic operation and intelligent interaction. Cranes working in the same bay can automatically avoid one another and be dispatched based on the nearest available crane to the target position.
Customer Challenges
- Accurate positioning of long magnetic loads during automatic handling.
- Preventing lifting-beam swing from reducing pickup accuracy.
- Maintaining safe load retention without relying on continuous magnet power.
- Coordinating several cranes operating in the same bay.
- Switching safely between automatic, remote and local operating modes.
- Reducing operator involvement while preserving maintenance and recovery access.
Henan Mine Crane Solution
The rigid guide column provides mechanical restraint against sway and supports accurate automated positioning. Dual hoisting motors provide an additional layer of lifting-system protection.
The electro-permanent magnetic attachment is magnetized by a short electrical pulse and then maintains magnetic force without continuous energization.
In fully automatic mode, the crane can interact with production commands, automatically avoid other cranes in the same span and select the nearest crane for the target handling task. Ground, radio-remote and remote-operation modes are also supported.

Key Technical Features
Rigid Guide-Column Anti-Sway
Mechanical guidance reduces lifting-beam swing and supports accurate automatic pickup and placement.
Dual Hoist Motors
The hoisting system uses two motors for increased operational security.
Electro-Permanent Magnetic Lifting
The lifting magnet is energized briefly and then maintains magnetic holding without continuous power.
Fully Automatic Production
Intelligent interaction allows the crane to execute automated production-handling tasks.
Automatic Crane Avoidance & Dispatch
Cranes in the same bay can avoid each other and be dispatched based on proximity to the target.
Multiple Control Modes
Ground, radio remote and remote-operation modes provide flexibility for commissioning and maintenance.
Application Scenarios
| Steel Plate Warehouses |
Automated magnetic plate pickup, stacking and retrieval. |
| Fabrication Plants |
Handling long steel products and production blanks. |
| Smart Manufacturing Lines |
Automatic transfer between defined production stations. |
| Multi-Crane Bays |
Coordinated dispatch and collision avoidance where several cranes share one span. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of an electro-permanent magnetic lifting device?
It uses electrical energy to switch magnetic state, then retains the load magnetically without continuous energization during holding.
How does a rigid guide column help automation?
It physically limits beam swing, making pickup and placement coordinates more repeatable than a freely suspended beam.
Can several automatic cranes work in the same bay?
Yes. The referenced solution includes automatic avoidance and nearest-crane dispatch for cranes working in the same span.
