Automated SPARTAN’s to Pintos Oy
Pintos Oy has ordered automated
and semi-automated SPARTAN
bridge cranes from ERIKKILA. The
two cranes are utilized to handle
steel wire rolls along the same
105 meter long track.
The semi-automated crane is able to
locate itself automatically to pre-set
work stations by a press of a button.
The fully automated crane is able to
fetch steel wire rolls from one place
continuously and transfer them along
the line.
The span for both cranes is
17.35 meters and the lifting capacity
is 3.2 tons. All crane movements are
inverter-controlled in order to ensure
the best operator handling. Fully
automated crane speeds are: hoist
trolley 20 m/min, bridge 40 m/min,
and the semi-automated 20 m/min
for both hoist trolley and bridge.

Introducing ERIKKILA’s safety products
Overload sensor
Safety is always the key in
ERIKKILA cranes. That is why
new safety improvements are
constantly under development.
The patented overload indicator that
is standard* in ERIKKILA cranes is
the industry’s first mechanical, costeffective, reliable, device and is easy
to install at the same time.
In the event that the crane’s maximum
capacity is exceeded, the overload
indicator takes over: the hoist trolley,
where it is attached, typically turns
so that the wheels rise or turn to the
side. Then the overload indicator hits
the lower section of the profile or the
side of it, and the crane does not move
manually. If the maximum capacity is
exceeded in a motor driven crane, the
operator will hear a loud noise as the
indicator is dragged against the profile.
“Work safety is an
inseparable part of our
way of thinking.”
CEO Mikko Erikkilä
Possible surface damage caused by
the indicator is easy to paint over and
the damage is significantly less than
the whole crane falling down and
causing potentially a life-threatening
situation.
Overload indicator is installed in two
places: in the hoist trolley where the
bridge is attached, and in the hoist
trolley where the crane is attached.
List price: €35.44
Product code: 410160
* Standard in 1000 kg cranes and over
Overload indicator on the hoist trolley.
Fall protection
In the event of overloading, fall
protection is worth more than
its weight in gold. It is securely
fastened to the bridge attachment
parts and fall protection circles over
the bogie-beam joining the double
carriage along the track.
The protection is fully mechanical
and easy to install. It is available for
cranes with bridges manufactured
from ERIKKILA profiles 200 and 260.

ERIKKILA has introduced a new safety product for jib
cranes. The slewing limiter limits the jib movement from
a mechanic into a desired ankle. This way the jib does
not get damaged by accidentally hitting other equipment
or building structures - or cause damage to anything.
The slewing limiter is available for all jib cranes
manufactured after 2003.

Introducing: PROSYSTEM chamfer tube extension joint
The chamfer tube extension
joint for profiles 200 and 260
was launched in June 2009 and
the square nut in April 2010.
Updated extension joint has met
all the expectations. It makes
installation easier and faster,
and improves safety by making a
stronger joint.
Chamfer tube extension joint
functionality has a lifetime warranty.*
Thanks to the joint, running surfaces
on the profile align closely and stay
aligned throughout the operating life.
Square nuts enable installation
with one tool. No special tools are
required. The bolt has a Tuflock
coating, which prevents it from
loosening due to vibration.

Agnico-Eagle mine in Kittilä assisted by
ERIKKILA bridge crane
350
meters
underground
Agnico-Eagle mine in Kittilä is
filled with various machinery,
which is used in demanding
conditions. 350 meters below the
surface in the mine, a section of
the mine tunnel is quarried as a
maintenance hall where all the
machinery operating in the tunnels
is maintained. ERIKKILA bridge
crane assists in handling heavy
equipment in the maintenance hall.
The Agnico-Eagle gold mine in
Kittilä contains one of the largest
known gold ore reserves in Europe,
estimated to be 35 million tons. Gold
content of the deposit is 4.7 grams of
gold per ton.
Gold- rich ore forms the north-south
Suurikuusikko deposit. The length of
the whole zone is 25 kilometres with
the main interest focusing on an area
4.5 kilometres in length. Opencast
mining operations commenced in
2008 and underground mining in
2010.
“ERIKKILA bridge crane
assists in handling
heavy equipment in the
maintenance hall.”
Opencast mining on current scale
will cease soon, and primarily
underground mining operation will
continue until 2032.
The mine employs 375 employees
directly, and with the contractors
included the total personnel in the
mine area is 600. ERIKKILA bridge
crane is located in the maintenance
hall in the mine. The equipment
assists in maintaining the machinery
in the mine tunnels. The crane was
brought into an already made space,
so it had to be custom-made to the
hall. The usable space was very
limited, so the lifting equipment and
its operating area were as close
as possible to the roof and walls of
the hall. In addition, sufficient lifting
capacity and tolerance to humidity
were required. Crane’s lifting
capacity was set to 20 + 5 tonnes.
“The crane was brought
into an already made
space, so it had to be
custom-made to the hall.”
Humid environment had to be taken
into consideration in surface coating
and electrical components, because
there is always some water dripping
into the tunnels from upper ground
layers. Optional work lights were
installed on the crane.

Heavy machinery is operated in the
mine, so the crane is crucial while
doing maintenance. In terms of
effective mining, the ideal situation
would be, of course, that the crane
would hardly be needed at all,
says Senior Project Engineer Esa
Lindeman.
“Heavy machinery is
operated in the mine, so
the crane is crucial while
doing maintenance.”
In this case, operating the crane
means that there is a stoppage in
operations somewhere else in the
mine. Lifting equipment, however,
helps to quickly fix broken machinery
and that way contributes to the mine
productivity.
The first gold was cast in January
2009. The composition and structure
of the gold ore in Kittilä make the
separation of gold relatively difficult.
Gold is bound to sulphide minerals
and only approx. 2% of it is so-called
free grain form gold.
Due to the ore properties, in the
enrichment process the mine utilizes
an autoclave, which is uncommon in
Finland, that could be compared to
a kind of pressure cooker. The mine
is expected to produce on average
173,000 ounces of gold between
2013-2015.

Made of steel and aluminium,
light crane of the future
Steel domination in light cranes
has faltered throughout the 21st
centruy. Its worst competitor
and best partner is aluminium,
which is superior due to its
light weight compared to steel.
Combining steel profile on the track
and aluminium profile on the bridge,
the movement of the bridge is
significantly lighter than a comparable
steel bridge. Aluminium is superior,
particularly in smaller loads, and
handling is feather light thanks to the
low weight of the aluminium.
Better carrying capacity of steel
reduces the number of supporting
elements along the track by allowing
longer spans. This brings savings in
supporting structures.
For loads below 500 kg, ERIKKILA

food and beverage industry even
in applications requiring maximum
hygiene. Aluminium cranes are also
widely utilized in aerospace and
automobile industries.
Aluminium is an excellent choice
particularly for repetitive tasks. For
example, the vacuum gripper moves
in the aluminium bridge without effort
and the balancer is at its best in light
movement of the bridge.
At its best, the operator does not feel
like he is using a crane, but instead
his load is simply made lighter without
touching the lifting equipment. This is
achieved by using aluminium on both
tracks and bridge, and by combining
a balancer to the aluminium bridge,
which supports the load when the
operator moves, lifts and lowers it
from the work station.
“Carrying capacity
of steel and light weight
of aluminium is a
superior combination for
smaller loads.”
In addition to safety, sometimes
aluminium replaces steel due to
hygiene reasons. Aluminium is an

Updating a robot crane
to the new millennium
In the 90s, ERIKKILA delivered
an automatic crane to Lumon Oy
for warehouse management to
improve production. Now the client
has decided to modernize the same
warehouse to operate with current
technology. This was the beginning
of an interesting project where the
new technology was combined
smoothly with the old one.
Customer made a big fundamental
change by replacing the old inbound
and outbound conveyors with
several smaller conveyors. Before,
the goods were transported in from
one end and out the other end via
large conveyors. Now there is a
small conveyor in the bottom of
almost every shelf in the warehouse
that takes only one shelf space and
transports the goods directly to the
right work station.
Before, a robot crane fetched a cage
from a shelf by lowering between the
shelves, and transporting the bridge
to the desired goods and grabbing it
with a fork. This approach was good
at the time, but significantly faster
and efficient work can be achieved
with modern technology.
A single purpose
warehouse was
transformed into a unit
that controls the factory
operations.
The biggest change was the fetching
principle: robot crane would no longer
move sideways between the shelves,
but instead a telescopic fork extends
to fetch the goods. Telescopic fork
is significantly faster than a bridge
and there is no need to take into
consideration the heavy swinging
due to the large crane movement.
A second robot crane was installed
in the warehouse. Robot crane
operations are optimized by computer
controls, and the independent parking
systems of the cranes manage the
necessary evasive manoeuvres
so that the cranes will not collide.
Wireless communications made
the operational planning of the two
cranes easier. Now there are no
cables going to the cranes and the
power is supplied with conductor
bars.
In the end, a single purpose
warehouse was transformed into a
smart unit that controls the factory
operations, distributing the goods all
the way to the work stations.

Cranes help axes to get their handles
Fiskars’ business vision states: “We
believe that everything can be done
smarter and better. Keeping an open
mind helps to see new opportunities
everywhere.” Same words apply to
ERIKKILA’s operation, too. A shared
ideal is a solid ground for co-operation
between Fiskars and ERIKKILA.
Fiskars, established in 1649, is the
oldest business in Finland that today
employs approx. 3400 employees in
over 20 countries. Company’s products
are renowned for their functionality
and top design. Fiskars offers leading
brand names for home, kitchen and
interior decoration, such as Iittala,
Arabia, Hackman and Rörstrand.
Fiskars is also the leading brand in
garden cutting tools in the world.
Fiskars’ Billnäs factory is still
located in the same place where
the company was founded. The site
in question operates the ERIKKILA
bridge crane for injection-moulding
machine maintenance. ERIKKILA
crane assists in maintenance of four
injection-moulding machines and in
changing the moulds. The injectionmoulding machines produce, for
example, the plastic handles for
all tools. During the maintenance
and when the moulds are changed,
2 track PROSYSTEM bridge crane with engine transfers
the crane lifts parts from inside the
machinery, among other things,
for replacements and oiling. Crane
has increased work safety for both
employees and machinery, said Harri
Engström (process development).
“Crane has increased
work safety.”
Injection-moulding machine is an
expensive unit, so it is important to
ensure its safe and easy handling.
The crane also saves floor space.
More injection-moulding machines
can fit in the same space, because
moving equipment parts does not
require forklifts that require freedom
of movement. The crane itself is
attached to the roof structures.
Installer Henry Skog stresses how
the crane makes the maintenance
easier and faster. Special praise
goes to the crane’s radio controls,
which make working more efficient.
In addition to short lead times, Harri
Engström said that Fiskars selected
ERIKKILA as the crane supplier,
among other things, because of
close proximity and ERIKKILA’s
operating practises. Prior to making
their proposal, a visit was conducted
to the Fiskars’ site to familiarize
themselves with the operating
environment, so that the offer was
realistic. Crane was installed autumn
of 2012 on agreed schedule.
