Optical sensor for Demag AC 615

The optical sensor 34898440 functions as a critical component within the boom extension system of Demag cranes. It is specifically engineered for installation on the fourth boom section to track the movement and alignment of the telescopic segments. By providing continuous feedback on the extension length, the sensor allows the crane's onboard computer to calculate the current load capacity and maintain safe operating parameters during lifting operations.

This component is compatible with the Demag AC 615 model. It is manufactured by Demag to meet the specific integration requirements of the crane's boom control architecture. The sensor ensures that the system receives precise data regarding the position of the fourth boom section, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the load moment indicator and other safety systems.

Optical sensors in telescopic boom systems typically utilize light-based detection to measure the relative displacement between boom sections. This data is converted into electrical signals that the crane's electronic control unit processes to determine the total boom length. Accurate measurement from these sensors is fundamental for the crane to adjust its lifting charts and prevent overloading.
