1. Team Gantry Tyson Rogstad Erik Flum Gary Zigmann

2. Background Information Many industrial companies around the world use cranes as a means of moving equipment, merchandise, or other. The crane systems are engineered to support certain amounts of weight depending on the application in which they will be involved. The two types of cranes that were taken into consideration for this project were the over-head traveling crane and the gantry crane.

3. Problem Statement Vermont Tech ELM students do not currently have any real world applications in the labs.

4. Solution Statement To design an overhead gantry crane system that future Electromechanical courses can use as a training tool.

5. System Requirements Build ceiling mounted crane system capable of lifting 100 lbs Horizontal and vertical movement using both AC and or DC motors AC and DC motors must run paired independent of the crane Shall have at least two types of position sensing for both axes of movement.
