Read full description

This App provides a combined tool for calculating the β stop angle and the length of the sling to quickly and easily find out whether the maximum permitted β angle stop is adhered to and which length of the sling is to be used in view of the given number of ropes and the given dimensions of the load. In addition, this App provides the three tools WLL Rope Slings, WLL Chain Slings and WLL Lifting Belts enabling the user upon entering the appropriate parameters to promptly establish the Working Load Limit (WLL) that the selected sling is permitted to lift given the angle determined. The integrated goniometer and a variety of tips presented in easy-to-understand graphics provide the user with an added value by mobility and increased safety. The contact persons of the Brugg Team will be pleased to deal with your questions and suggestions.

Dolores 3 App - Berechnung der Ladungssicherung Dolores 3 ist der Nachfolger der bekannten Dolores App. Die Ladungssicherungs-App der Firma Dolezych GMBH & Co. KG und des Steinbeis-Forschungszentrums "Institut für Transportwesen und Logistik (ITL) Bremerhaven" erlaubt die komfortable Berechnung der erforderlichen Ladungssicherung. So kann z. B. die Anzahl der Sicherungsmittel bei gegebener Vorspannkraft (STF) bzw. erforderlicher Festigkeit (LC) oder umgekehrt ermittelt werden. Die Berechnung erfolgt nach DIN EN 12195-1:2010 (6/2011) oder VDI 2700 Blatt 2 (7/2014) bzw. Blatt 9 (4/2006). Daneben können weiterhin die alten Verfahren DIN EN 12195-1:2003 (4/2004) und VDI 2700 Blatt 2 (11/2002) verwendet werden. Folgende Berechnungsverfahren für standsichere und kippgefährdete Ladung sind verfügbar: - Niederzurren - Diagonalzurren - Schrägzurren längs oder quer - Kombination von Nieder- und Diagonalzurren - Sicherung von hartgewickelten Papierrollen Dolores 3 bietet Ihnen vielfältige Möglichkeiten der Berechnung: - alle Beschleunigungsbeiwerte werden nach Auswahl des Transportwegs vorgegeben oder direkt eingetragen - die Kippgefährdung wird anhand der Ladungsdaten berücksichtigt und der Schwerpunkt kann angegeben werden - es können Winkel oder Längen (auch asymmetrisch) eingegeben werden - Blockieren/Formschluss wird berücksichtigt (inkl. Code XL) - die Gleitreibung lässt sich u. a. anhand der Ladegüter und Ladefläche eingeben - der Übertragungskoeffizient k (nach DIN EN) kann zwischen 1,5 und 2,0 in 0,1-Schritten gewählt werden - das Ergebnis wird detailliert gegen Rutschen und Kippen in alle Richtungen angezeigt Dolores wird ständig weiterentwickelt. In Zukunft werden Sie regelmäßig neue Funktionen und Sprachen hinzu erhalten.
