    摘要: A method of assembling a structure, such as a wind turbine, is disclosed. The method comprises a step of providing a lifting arrangement comprising a gantry disposed over and/or directly above a rail, and lifting means coupled to the gantry. The method further comprises stacking portions of the structure by: conveyably disposing a first portion of the structure relative to the rail; lifting a second portion of the structure using the lifting means; disposing the first portion underneath the second portion by conveying the first portion along the rail; and lowering the second portion onto the first portion. Also disclosed is a corresponding system for assembling a structure, such as a wind turbine, and corresponding clamping and/or gripping system.

    摘要: A jack-up crane vessel or semi-submersible crane vessel is provided including a hull with a deck, and a crane on the hull for hoisting a load outside the deck. The crane includes a slewing crane base with a first suspension, an elongated boom that is rotatable around a horizontal rotation axis with respect to the first suspension, at least two pendants between the boom and the first suspension that mutually converge toward the distal boom section, a boom spacer between the boom and the first suspension, and a boom luffing installation for driving the rotation of the boom around the horizontal rotation axis between a lowered transport position and a raised operational position. In the direction of the vertical rotation axis the first suspension extends at least in the lowered transport position of the boom above the boom heel of the boom.

    摘要: Provided is a lifting arrangement configured to facilitate alignment of a load with a wind turbine assembly. The lifting arrangement includes a crane arrangement for hoisting the load to the wind turbine assembly, a tagline arrangement for stabilizing the load during a lifting manoeuvre, a sensor arrangement configured to detect a motion of the wind turbine assembly relative to the load during the lifting manoeuvre, an actuator arrangement for adjusting the position of the load relative to the wind turbine assembly, and a control arrangement for controlling actuators of the actuator arrangement to reduce the detected relative motion. Also provided is a method of aligning a load with a wind turbine assembly.

    摘要: A motion compensating crane for use on an offshore vessel having a hull with a design waterline, wherein the crane includes a revolving superstructure, a main boom mounted to the revolving superstructure and pivotally connected at an inner end thereof about a substantially horizontal boom pivot axis to the revolving superstructure, the main boom having a tip end remote from the inner end, a main boom luffing assembly adapted to set an angle of the main boom relative to the superstructure within a main boom working angle range, a rigid jib frame pivotally connected to the tip end of the main boom about a substantially horizontal jib frame pivot axis, and a level setting assembly adapted to set the rigid jib frame in a levelled position whilst the main boom has an angle within the main boom working angle range. The rigid jib frame is provided with a set of parallel X-direction tracks which are substantially horizontal in the levelled position of the rigid jib frame. The crane further has a mobile carrier supported by the X-direction tracks and movable by a motor powered X-motion displacement actuator assembly. The mobile carrier is provided with one or multiple parallel Y-direction tracks and a mobile jib hoist cable suspension member is supported by the one or more Y-direction tracks and movable relative thereto.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method in a weighing system, in which method the mass of the bundle is weighed and recorded during both loading % and unloading mi_p of the bundle, during loading, the total loading mass mK_kok_j is calculated from the mass mi_c of one or more bundles weighed during loading and corrected using a correction factor Cj, the total unloading mass mp_kok_j is calculated from the mass mi_p of one or more bundles weighed during unloading, with the aid of the said total loading mass mK_COk_j and total unloading mass mp_kok_j′, a new corrected value Cj+1 is calculated for the correction factor Cj in order to adjust the weighing for the loading of the next load Kj+1. The invention also relates to a corresponding software product, an arrangement, and a material-handling machine.
