Applications in development: Synchronised Lifting

Many large civil and mechanical structures need to be lifted or loaded evenly along their length during erection or testing.

Historically, hydraulically complex arrangements have been needed to accomplish this.

However, the Artemis Digital Displacement® pumping technology, with its open-loop control, permits small self-contained power packs and rams to be distributed around a structure, with minimal hose runs. The power packs can control rams of different sizes and with different loads to support and jack the structure evenly to position. The control is purely in software and the jacks can follow any programmed motion profile coordinated through an industrial CANBUS network.
