Innovative analyze of operator viewpoint with camera system on single jaw vertical coil tong

At the present time, significant improvements have been made in the iron-steel industry and investments in technology have become important. Hoisting and handling appliances are typical devices in order to transport the iron-steel products, especially steel plates and round bars. It is for sure that hoisting and handling appliances have to be used while maniplating the iron-steel products due to their heavy weights. In this study, it has been mentioned about an innovative approach for preventing coil edge deformation problem arising from the poor viewpoint of the crane operator while manipulating the single jaw vertical coil tong which is used for the lifting of steel plate coils vertically. For this reason, the inner jaw of the vertical coil tong was provided to enter into the coil inner diameter properly by the crane operator by means of making good viewpoint with the camera system for helping to the crane operator. In conclusion; the problem causing the loss of plate material was reduced to a minimum level in general and therefore, a reasonable amount of scrap plate material benefit approximately 0,05% was aimed by means of the innovative system developed for the single jaw vertical coil tong.
