The objective of the CABLECRANE project is to develop and validate an industrial product of servo-controlled crane bridge for the safe and controlled handling and assembly of complex parts, of high economic value. The product consists of an advanced handling system based on servo-motor driven cables and mounted on crane bridge crossbars. The proposal is led by VICINAY CEMVISA (hereinafter CEMVISA) and counts as a partner to Tecnalia Research & Innovation (hereinafter TECNALIA). CEMVISA and TECNALIA have the common objective of responding to the needs of the sector of handling and assembly of high economic value parts through the use of the technology of parallel robots driven by cables, whose advantages over existing technologies are the automation or semi-automatisation of handling and assembly operations, the reduction of accidents at work (50 %), the increase in productivity (50 %), the reduction of costs (20 %) and the increase in employment of qualified operators (5 %). The industrial product CABLECRANE will be assembled in the facilities that CEMVISA has in Otxandio (Bizkaia) and will serve as a showroom to invite potential customers. The industrial product CABLECRANE will be validated for the specific case of the mechanical assembly of Vicinay Cemvisa birail hoist. CABLECRANE is an experimental development project oriented to RETO 8: Security, protection and defense of the State R&D+i Program oriented to the challenges of the Society. The project aims to increase safety during the handling and assembly of parts of high economic value to reduce by 50 % the workplace accidents due to the handling of these parts. Currently, the handling and assembly processes are carried out using conventional crane bridges. Crane bridges are lifting machines that cannot orient the parts they handle and cannot provide precise positioning and orientation. To control that the piece does not rotate and does not collide with any obstacles, there are several operators guiding the piece. During assembly operations, it is the operator who keeps the part attached to the crane bridge in position. If the part is complex, complex tools are used for handling, the costs of which are three times higher than those of the crane bridge itself. Handling and assembly times are high. Also, the handling of large and heavy parts involves several operators around the load to be handled, various equipment and heavy loads, which increases the risk of accidents at work. These problems result in low productivity, high costs and risks of accidents in large part handling and assembly processes. The Material Handling Equipment sector to which this project is directed, is a mature sector, with stable growth according to GDP. It is a cross-sectional sector that has to provide handling solutions for different sectors such as energy, aeronautical, the manufacture of buildings and structures, that of large pipelines, that of foundry.In all these sectors there is an increasing need to handle heavy parts, of large dimensions and of high economic value, such as blades of wind turbines, airplane wings, airplane stabilisers, construction beams, reticular structures for roofs, large pipes, casting spoons..For the handling and assembly of this type of parts, of high economic value, systems are required that allow a precise and safe positioning and orientation of the parts. The EU27 production volume of bridge cranes and related equipment is approximately 8,550 MDo for 2013. The CABLECRANE solution can reasonably cover 5 % of the annual market for European crane bridges, representing a potential market of 400-450 Md.
