Mining
Our operator assist technology helps improve operator performance, comfort, and safety through automated processes or controls.
Drill Tele-Remote Operation provides flexibility for increased visibility and control from outside the drill cab. This is especially well suited for times when the drill needs to operate in a more challenging environment, or the operator needs the ability to see things he or she might not see from the cab.
The tele-remote control provides more range and more features than other remotes, which means an operator can work from a comfortable space, such as in a truck. It leverages the same control and response as if operating from the cab, enabling productivity from a distance.
All drill control functions are available through the console, including our advanced technology features:
Our advanced shearer automation increases productivity and reduces operator exposure to dust and noise. The technology allows the longwall shearer operator to program fully automated cutting sequences, including gate end turnarounds.
In addition, the operator can create an initial cutting profile and extraction heights through the use of a graphical offline planner. Once the plan is in place, the machine automatically replicates the profile until the conditions change. The operator then has the ability to override control of the roof drum to follow the preferred horizon. Using the new roof horizon data, the remainder of the cutting sequence is fully automated using the pre-defined extraction heights.
This advanced level of automation enables the most efficient cycle times possible while providing cutting consistency from one day to the next.
The continuous miner two-way radio remote is designed with the operator in mind:
Main features include:
The two-way radio remote is ideal for use in industrial mineral mining.
