The document describes a precision synchronized lifting system that uses draw-wire displacement sensors to measure the travel displacement of each hydraulic cylinder and synchronize their movement. The sensors provide accurate measurements to a PLC controller proportional to the cylinder displacement. This enables heavy loads to be precisely raised and lowered or large components to be fed forward in a controlled manner. The draw-wire sensors are well-suited for this application as they are compact, easy to mount, and provide high accuracy measurements for synchronized control of the lifting system.
