5.1
Mounting the laser scanners
The aim of the AOS502 STS is to avoid collisions with exposed ship superstructures and
with neighboring cranes.
The reliable and problem-free operation of the system depends primarily on the proper
planning and mounting of the laser scanners.
5.1.1
Position of the laser scanners
In principle, the laser scanners are positioned in the center of the working range. The
advantage of this is that the objects to be detected (such as ship superstructures or radar
systems) are relatively close to laser scanner. This ensures reliable detection.
Fig. 16: Mounting the laser scanners – central position on the boom
Positioning the laser scanners centrally does not impair the lateral crane-to-crane collision
protection, as the crane bodies to be detected are relatively large objects for the laser
scanner and are always reliably detected.
5.1.2
Inclination of the laser scanners
To ensure that monitoring also takes place right up to the lower edge of the boom, it is
advisable to mount, for example, a bracket with extension so that the laser scanner can
be positioned lower down.
The expansion bracket should be able to be swiveled upward to provide better access.

As the boom is raised up and down, you must ensure that the bracket demonstrates the
required stability, as the laser scanner will be swung along with it.
