Winch, also known as winch, is a device driven by human or mechanical power to complete the traction work. A simple lifting machine for lifting, horizontal or inclined objects.

Disadvantages of traditional windlass
1. Series resistance speed regulation, the speed change is jumping, which makes the reducer gear, crown wheel, middle wheel, skip car and inclined bridge guide rail under the action of impact force in the acceleration and deceleration operation stage. The equipment is easy to be damaged and the steel wire rope is easy to fatigue, resulting in large amount of maintenance and increased maintenance costs.
2. The speed regulation range of the series resistance is small, which makes the speed of the skip car change suddenly, and it still has a higher speed when it stops after deceleration. It requires high adjustment accuracy of the brake and limit switch, and it is easy to cause offside and off track accidents and affect the production.
3. The series resistance speed regulation makes most of the electric energy consumed on the resistor when the charging car starts and decelerates; when the motor voltage drops, the torque decreases and the slip increases. In serious cases, the skip can not be started, which is easy to cause accidents.
4. High energy consumption and soft mechanical characteristics at low speed. Because the reduction of speed is achieved by the energy consumption of rotor external resistance, and the lower the speed, the softer the mechanical characteristics, the greater the proportion of energy consumed in the resistance, which is extremely uneconomical, and the level of grid voltage has a great impact on the speed.

Frequency conversion transformation of traditional control
1. Short circuit the rotor winding of wound rotor motor, cancel the original series resistance speed regulation scheme; or design the switching circuit and take the original series resistance speed regulation scheme as the backup scheme.
2. The motor brake system is independently powered and controlled by frequency converter.
3. Transform the original speed control device to control the speed of frequency converter.
4. Connect the fault protection signal of frequency converter to the safety circuit. Complete set of frequency conversion control system for winch
5. LD8100S driver is used as the core of speed control system, and PLC is used as the core of control system.
6. Various protections can be designed according to different configurations. The control system can be flexibly customized as required.

Product utility
1. LD8100S driver with its excellent performance, greatly improve the stability and safety of traditional hoist operation, reduce the maintenance of equipment. The control system customized by Kovar company for the winch integrates many safety technologies and automatic control functions, which provides a complete set of electric control solutions for the winch equipment manufacturers, and can also make the old windlass rejuvenate.
