Condition Monitoring Opportunity Areas for Mining, Minerals & Metals
Shovel Monitoring
Monitor Your Most Complex Pit Asset – The Electric Rope Shovel
The mining pit is an inherently dangerous environment. The daily interaction between man and large, moving machinery creates an environment of ongoing risk. Add to that the unexpected shutdown of an electric rope shovel and the result is a real threat to both personnel safety and production goals. Everything on a shovel is subject to failure, and eventually you will experience a breakdown. The impact of that failure can be significantly reduced by monitoring key shovel components – the crowd, hoist, and swing drives. Emerson’s AMS 6500 has a proven history of monitoring for unique vibration characteristics found in rotating equipment – the same types found on many types of ore extracting assets, including the electric rope shovel.
AMS 6500 Balance of Plant Prediction Monitor
A versatile, scalable system that can be deployed in a variety of configurations to deliver online condition monitoring exactly as needed for your food and beverage application.
AMS 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer
The AMS 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer takes vibration data and analysis measurements to the next level. It features simultaneous four-channel plus phase data collection and unique peak detection capabilities for the earliest indication of bearing and gearbox degradation. In addition to delivering faster data collection for less time in the field or more machines monitored, the AMS 2140 is ergonomically designed for comfortable, single hand operation all day long.
AMS Machinery Manager
AMS Machinery Manager integrates multiple predictive maintenance techniques with comprehensive analysis tools to provide easy and accurate assessment of the machinery health across different types of mechanical assets in your facility. The modular technology applications incorporate diagnostic and reporting sources into a common database for analysis of machinery health across the entire plant. New releases are available at no charge to customers with Guardian Support.
