Movement system configured for moving a payload in a plurality of directions

A movement system configured for moving a payload, the movement system comprising:

• a bridge crane configured for movement along an X axis;
• a trolley movably attached to the bridge crane and configured for movement along a Y axis, in perpendicular relationship to the X axis;
• a movement device depending from the trolley, wherein the movement device includes:
• an attachment portion;
• a plurality of housings operatively extending from the attachment portion;
• a first curved element and a second curved element extending between respective ends;
• wherein the ends of the first and second curved elements are pivotally attached to a respective one of the plurality of housings;
• wherein each of the first and second curved elements forms a partial circle;
• wherein the first curved element defines a first slot and the second curved element defines a second slot;
• wherein the first curved element perpendicularly overlaps with the second curved element such that the first slot of the first curved element is in perpendicular relationship to the second slot of the second curved element;
• wherein the first curved element is configured to pivot about a first axis and the second curved element is configured to pivot about a second axis, which extends in perpendicular relationship to the first axis;
• a cable extending from the attachment portion and through each of the first slot and the second slot;
• wherein the cable is configured to pivot relative to the attachment portion such that the cable angularly displaces at least one of the first and second curved elements about the respective first and second axis;
• and
• a cable angle sensor configured to measure the angular displacement of the at least one of the first and second curved elements.
