AutoSenzCustom mechanical VRCs (vertical reciprocating conveyors) manufactured by Wildeck are now available with the advanced AutoSenz™ overload detection system which includes an easy-to-read graphical display interface and extensive system diagnostics that make the VRC much easier to use and understand.

Wildeck’s breakthrough AutoSenz™ technology (patent-pending) continuously monitors and protects your VRC from jams or material overload conditions.  The AutoSenz™ system automatically determines the overload setpoint each time the VRC motor starts lifting, which is far superior and safer than fixed setpoint motor overload systems.

When the VRC is raised, bulky material could shift and accidentally project off the side of the carriage entering the running / clearance zone.  This material could then become wedged between the carriage and side of the building, or other surrounding equipment or structure.  Since standard VRCs are designed to provide their full lifting force, an accidental jam could cause severe equipment and facility damage.

Wildeck’s new AutoSenz™ overload detection system has been designed to stop the VRC in its tracks and alert the operator so corrective action can be taken.

Innovative Design
Wildeck VRCs with AutoSenz™ technology are the most innovative and safe mechanical lifts available. They are well suited for multi-level applications demanding faster speeds and higher frequency rates.

AutoSenz

Whether your installation requires a single mechanical lift or multiple VRCs, Wildeck's AutoSenz™ overload detection system is essential to reduce potential damage to your facility, equipment or inventory due to VRC overloads or jams.
Digital Controller
The integral digital controller communicates a wide range of functional data, VRC status and a complete VRC event history log – features that are not available from other VRC manufacturers.  Displays include:
AutoSenz Digital Controller
  • Main System Status
  • VRC Event/History Log
  • Real-time I/O Status
  • Motor Amperage Meter
  • VRC Parameter Setup
    (password-protected)
  • Maintenance Mode/Jog Control
  • Additional Control Screens
VRC Diagnostic Messages
In the event the AutoSenz™ system detects a reason to stop the VRC’s travel, an easy-to-understand text message will be displayed for the operator.  Examples include:
Status  Description
Carriage Jam Carriage has jammed.
Over Capacity Carriage load too heavy.
Gate Open Gate Interlock open contact not made.
Phase Loss Motor was single phased.
E-Stop E-Stop pushed and not reset.
Motor OL Relay Motor overload relay tripped.
Carriage O.T. Over travel limit switch was tripped.
Chain Fault Chain limit switch was tripped.
CR Fault Monitors control redundancy.
Floor LS Fault Two different floor level limit switches were ON at once.
Missed Floor Carriage missed the desired middle floor.
