Abstract
A crane, in particular a loading crane, includes an arm system that has a plurality of arms. The crane also has a crane controller that is configured, in a coordinate control operating mode, to control the coordinates of the arm system. The crane controller has a user interface, and the user interface has at least one function which can be selected by a user and by way of which at least one of the degrees of freedom of the arm system can be restricted or is restricted in the coordinate control operating mode.
Claims21
A crane, in particular loading crane, comprising an arm system including several arms, wherein the arm system further includes:
- a crane column, rotatable about an axis of rotation, which is mounted pivotable over a structurally predefined crane column pivoting range and has one degree of freedom due to its pivotable mounting,
- a main arm, which is mounted on the crane column pivotable over a structurally predefined main arm pivoting range and has one degree of freedom due to its pivotable mounting,
- an articulated arm, which is mounted on the main arm pivotable over a structurally predefined articulated arm pivoting range and has one degree of freedom due to its pivotable mounting,
- at least one extension arm, which is mounted in the articulated arm displaceable over a structurally predefined extension range and has one degree of freedom due to its displaceable mounting,
- and wherein the crane has a crane controller which is configured, in a coordinate control operating mode, to carry out a coordinate control of the arm system,
- wherein the crane controller has a user interface, wherein the user interface has at least one function that can be chosen by a user, through which at least one of the degrees of freedom of the arm system is limitable or limited in the coordinate control operating mode.
