First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of wear-free determination of an overall length of a jib of a crane, the method comprising the steps of:
- feeding a signal into the jib at a first point on the jib;
detecting the signal at a second point on the jib; and
determining the overall length of the jib from the time required for the signal to pass from the first point to the second point.

Abstract
Method for determining the overall length (GL) of a jib (1, 4) of a crane in a wear-free manner, characterized in that a signal is coupled in at a first point (2, 5) of the jib (1, 4) and is coupled out at a second point (3, 6) of the jib (1, 4), the overall length (GL) being determined from the time required for the signal to go from the first point (2, 5) to the second point (3, 6).
