Development of Intelligent Winch Rope-Aligning System

This paper developed an intelligent control system based on micro-computer in order to rope wire in a winch. It introduces the constituent parts and work principle of the system, analyzes moving direction rules of the rope-aligning device, calculating method of step number and speed regulating algorithm of the stepping motor. The system can adapt rope-aligning speed and distance to the wire diameter and the roller rotating speed. With good characteristic such as regulating speed quickly and smoothly, following roller rapidly and controlling itself intelligently, the system can be widely used in hoisting and lifting field.
