Working list: World’s tallest seaport cranes

High profile S-T-S crane in the raised boom position – Source: liftech.net

All the cranes listed are ship-to-shore (STS) designs unless otherwise indicated in parentheses next to the height of the crane. The minimum height for inclusion on the list is 200 feet. In many cases, there are multiple cranes of the same size at the same seaport.

Enormous gantry crane in Rostock, Germany

Please note that whenever possible the fully raised boom-up height is used, though in some cases the superstructure height may only be shown. Variations in height depend on a number of factors including harbor/channel depth (impacting ship sizes), bridge clearance, seaport specialization, the use of low-profile cranes, and even proximity to the flight paths of nearby airports.

If a seaport is listed more than once, it may be different types of cranes, different generations of cranes being represented, or the locational requirements necessitate an alternate size. As more information becomes available, additional cranes will be added. As always, any additions, corrections, or suggestions are most welcome. Peace!

Folks, thank you once again for all your great tips - #GravCMS ft. #Gantry framework look like to be my choice.
Actually, I am already migrating the stuff there. It seems to be exactly what I wanted.

Gantry cranes are versatile lifting solutions that are widely used in industrial environments for loading, unloading and transporting heavy objects. It is able to cover a wide area and lift large amounts of weight with precision.😀

No-Laser CNC Engraver is Something New Under the Sun

Hooking up a laser to a CNC gantry isn't exactly an Earth-shattering innovation, but it does make for a useful tool. Even a cheap diode laser mounted to an old 3D printer can do engraving, marking, or even light-duty cutting. But what about a laser engraver without the laser? Can that be of any use?

Apparently, the answer is yes, if you can harness the power of the sun. That's what [Lucas] did with his solar-tracking CNC engraver, the build of which is shown in the video below. The idea is pretty simple -- mount a decent-sized magnifying lens where the laser optics would normally go on a laser engraver, and point the thing at the sun. But as usual, the devil is in the details. The sun has a nasty habit of moving across the sky during the day, or at least appearing to, so [Lucas] has to add a couple of extra degrees of freedom to a regular X-Y CNC rig to track the sun. His tracking sensor is simplicity itself -- four CdS photocells arranged with a pair of perpendicular shades, and an Arduino to drive the gimbals in the correct direction to keep all four sensors equally illuminated. He had some initial problems getting the jerkiness out of the control loop, but the tracker eventually kept the whole thing pointing right at the Sun.

So how does it work? Not bad, actually -- [Lucas] managed to burn some pretty detailed designs into a piece of wood using just the sun. He mentions adding a shutter to douse the cutting beam to allow raster patterns, but even better might be a servo-controlled iris diaphragm to modulate beam intensity and control for varying sun conditions. He might also check out this solar engraver we covered previously for some more ideas, too.

Thanks to [Zane Atkins] for the tip.

Modified 3D-Printer Solders Through-Hole Components

Surface-mount technology has been a fantastic force multiplier for electronics in general and for hobbyists in particular. But sometimes you've got no choice but to use through-hole components, meaning that even if you can take advantage of SMDs for most of the design, you still might need to spend a little time with soldering iron in hand. Or not, if you've got a spare 3D printer lying around.

All we've got here is a fairly brief video from [hydrosys4], so there aren't a lot of build details. But it's pretty clear what's going on here. Starting with what looks like a Longer LK4 printer, [hydrosys4] added a bracket to hold a soldering iron, and a guide for solder wire. The solder is handled by a more-or-less standard extruder, which feeds it into the joint once it's heated by the iron. The secret sauce here is probably the fixturing, with 3D-printed jigs that hold the through-hole connectors in a pins-up orientation on the bed of the printer. With the PCB sitting on top of the connectors, it's just a matter of teaching the X-Y-Z position of each joint, applying heat, and advancing the solder with the extruder.

The video below shows it in action at high speed; we slowed it down to 25% to get an idea of how it is in reality, and while it might not be fast, it's precise and it doesn't get tired. It may not have much application for one-off boards, but if you're manufacturing small PCB runs, it's a genius solution. We've seen similar solder bots before, but hats off to [hydrosys4] for keeping this one simple.

Thanks to [Arturo] for the tip!

Deuxième jour sous Gantry theme framework pour WordPress.
Tout se passe bien, pas de "grumeau" inattendu, ça fait plaisir. C'est assez rare quand on teste un nouveau truc informatique pour être souligné, lol.

Pourquoi ajouter ce framework ?
Pour proposer/donner plus de _liberté_ au client/owner, tout simplement.
Réagencer les blocs, changer les couleurs principales, ajouter des widgets, créer des gabarits... le tout en wysiwyg.
