The mining industry is becoming a very competitive environment. Due to this competition, mining personnel are seeking ways of increasing production of the existing mining equipment, and reducing maintenance costs.

DCS has developed application enhancements for conventional electrical systems that have led to increased productivity and machine availability for mining excavators. The range of DCS upgrades has included excavator system controls, operator ergonomic concerns, power system voltage stabilization, and web based production monitoring.

AccuPlot

The DCS Excavator X-Y Data Acquisition System (AccuPlot) is a computer based data acquisition system specifically designed for the mining industry. The flexibility of software enables the system to emulate different analog test equipment without any additional hardware costs. The following is a brief description of the functions currently available on the AccuPlot System. Click here to learn more >

BoomPro

The BoomPro System will eliminate the need for any existing tightline protection and rope limits. The PLC system being offered has been proven on draglines. BoomPro provides static and dynamic rope limits for hoist, lower, drag-in, and payout. It also provides static and dynamic tightline limits.

Hoist and drag references reduction and brake setting allow for implementation of the limits. The unit will provide a resolution of approximately four inches, with a repeatability of 0.0001%. This means that once the limits are set, there is no need to continually check to make sure they are correct.

Operators or maintenance personnel, can easily set all limits at the operator interface monitor. To set the limits the operator simply brings the bucket into the drag in rope rezero point and presses rezero. He then takes the bucket to the hoist up rezero point and presses rezero.

All hoist and drag limits are then set including slow downs. This action also sets the static and dynamic tightline systems. It can eliminate the need for an electrician to set the limits. Resolvers will be used on each drum and will be supplied with stands and gearboxes.
