The next generation for automated depth profile monitoring. Compared to previous developments, the cable is spooled onto the drum with this winch. A cross-thread spindle acts as a linear guide to ensure the cable is placed on the drum in an orderly manner. The overall system is much more compact and versatile.
Technologies used:
- Own construction of the winch technology
- Rotating signal transmission
- Cross-thread spindle
For the transfer of knowledge and technology, technical animations of the structure of their pyrolysis systems were created for BIOMACON GmbH. The aim was to schematically convey the structure of a pyrolysis system. This was realised based on 3D models of the plant and specially created objects. The resulting scenes were animated and then rendered as video sequences. These serve as visual instructions for the construction of a BIOMACON plant in India.
Technologies used:
- Blender 2.9
- FreeCAD 0.19
- Animation Nodes
Water monitoring in reservoirs requires continuous depth profiles – previously only possible manually from boats. This profiler winch fully automates the process: Up to 8 times daily, an OTT HydroLab 7 probe captures oxygen, temperature, pH value, and algae concentration across the entire water column. The measurement data flows directly into the central control system of the Aabach reservoir, which supplies drinking water to 200,000 residents. The result: Comprehensive data monitoring for optimal operation of the deep-water aeration system – without manual boat trips.
Technologies Used:
- Siemens S7-1200 PLC
- OTT HydroLab 7 multiparameter probe
- OTT netDL 1000 data logger
- Unigate MB protocol converter
- Custom winch design (100m cable capacity)
