Heave compensation is motion compensator technology applied to minimizing the vertical movement of a load supported by lifting gear mounted on a heaving platform.
This direction is often vertical, as for a load supported by lifting gear mounted on a heaving platform.
Active heave compensation has a control system that uses power to drive the lifting gear to keep the load stabilized along the vertical axis to compensate for any movement of the platform specific point, using power to gain positional accuracy.
Balanced heave compensation converts the non-linear force of a gas spring or hydro-pneumatic spring into an adjustable, substantially linear force supporting the load.
A new approach to advanced heave compensation systems is offered by balanced heave compensation, increasing safety while lowering energy consumption and spring adjustment times.
