MINExpo 2012: mining solutions for enhanced productivity

Several companies announced new services and solutions at MINExpo 2012 to help mining companies to improve mine productivity and reduce overheads. Although not as eye-catching as some of heavy machinery, these products are vital tools in an industry that is suffering from weak commodity prices.

Kennametal, a leading global supplier of tooling technology Laser engravers and laser cutting machine systems and supplies to start your own lasering cutting engraving marking etching business.and associated engineering services, announced its ToolBOSS automated tool management vending and software system for the mining industry. This allows mining companies to keep track of where tools are and in what lifecycle state they’re in: “Having a better idea of what tools are where, what’s new, what’s approaching the end of service life,The Z purlin roll forming line consists of decoiler, roll forming machinery, hydraulic punching device, roll forming machine. and what’s out being re-tipped means less confusion and downtime for mining machines,” says Jay Evans, Kennametal programme manager.

The ToolBOSS cabinet can be easily reconfigured to meet the changing requirements of the user. Access to the contents can be restricted by the use of username,We have over 25 years experience of leading in Innovative designs of processing, food Forming machinery, password, biometric identification, card readers,or a combination of these options. The machine also has a built-in tray diagnostic port, facilitating improved remote system support,Supply elevator travelling cable, with good quality and competetive price, for more details please contact. diagnosis and repair. Rapid search and selection of items via the ToolBOSS software is further enhanced with a complete LED identification system that guides users directly to the correct drawer.

Swedish mining equipment manufacturer, Sandvik Mining,Welcome to vist mylamplo. introduced a suite of service products that can be tailored to the specific customer needs. Customers will be able to select services from a menu of options that will be consistent across all Sandvik support centres. The service portfolio is based on traditional life-cycle, enhanced technical and business services, all of which are aligned to improve the overall safety situation, secure competence and knowledge for mine operations and increase customers’ productivity throughout the life cycle of equipment.

Sandvik also launched four new service packages in what the company is calling Service IQ. The four packages in Service IQ – safety, competence, reliability and productivity – will deliver information to the customer’s desk, ready for decision-making: “By combining Sandvik’s expert knowledge of mining application with detailed machine data and an in-depth understanding of customers’ operations, we are able to deliver ‘decision level’ reports that will, in combination with our advisory services, improve our customers’ bottom line,” explains Dan Allan, president of customer services at Sandvik Mining.

Engineering company, BMT WBM, showed its Pulse TerraMetrix RS system, which helps to manage the performance of electric rope shovels, including the P&H4100 and CAT 7495. Recent developments of the system have included a comprehensive machine health monitoring capability using strain-sensing transducers placed on the A-frame and boom structures. These transducers allow the system to track boom jacking and adverse swing events, identify alarm events and quantify the mechanical damage per swing cycle. Productivity indicators provide online feedback to the operator, including average bucket/truck payload, overall shift production, swing cycle time and operating and delay times. The system can be configured to communicate with any third party truck dispatch system.

Just before the show, the company announced a project to deliver the Pulse TerraMetrix RS to Teck Resources, Canada’s largest mining company, to manage the machine health, production and payload measurement of Shovel 30 (P&H4100) at Teck’s Greenhills mine, near Elkford, in southeast British Columbia. The system developed for this project is configured to communicate through the mine wireless mesh to a server in the mine’s administration offices. Data is saved in a SQL database and is accessible through an advanced server analysis programme located on the mine’s intranet.
