Machine mounted safety
and Monitoring Systems

MONITECH DISTANCE MONITOR SYSTEM:

FUNCTIONALITY & PERFORMANCE:

  • The Monitech Distance Monitor is an intrinsically safe system designed to assist in safely controlling the cut-out distance from the last line of support while providing an opportunity for an extended cut of a continuous miner.
  • This machine mounted system assists in safely controlling the cut-out distance from the last line of support while providing an opportunity for an extended cut of a continuous miner.
  • Has the ability to be interlocked to the Continuous Miner so that it will stop at a specified distance.
  • The system is made up of four interconnected devices:
    • Distance Display Controller in stainless steel enclosure
    • Power Supply
    • Bypass key Switch (Optional)
    • Inductive Charging Cradle

Application:

  • Continuous Miner

Certification:

  • Ex ia I Ma
  • Certified by MASC M/20-8141X

OIL LEVEL SENSOR SYSTEM:

FUNCTIONALITY & PERFORMANCE:

  • Designed specifically for Fletcher Roof Bolter equipment
  • Measures both the tank level and temperature level.
  • Level Sensing: The level sensor supplies the controller with a reading for the level. The controller is set to alarm at a set value and to trip at a different set value. The unit can be set to have a delay if required/desired. The “Oil Low” warning will flash if the oil is below the trip level for the duration of the delay time, then be displayed normally until the oil level recovers.
  • Temperature Sensing: The temperature sensor supplies the controller with a reading for the temperature. The controller is set to trip if the temperature reaches a set point of 79 degrees Celsius. This point can be adjusted.
  • Readings are translated and displayed by a Monitech XPX controller unit.
  • Does not have moving parts and thus has long life expectancy.
  • Measures actual value and not just switch points.
  • Set points can easily be moved without needing to modify the hardware.
  • Robust design

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • The unit is certified Intrinsically safe.
  • The system is made up of:
    • Monitech Level Sensor Enclosure including Level Sensor and Temperature probe
    • Monitech XPX Enclosure including Controller Unit

MONITECH ROOFBOLTER LASER GUARD:

FUNCTIONALITY & PERFORMANCE:

  • A laser system designed to be fitted to both single or  dual boom Roof Bolting Equipment to assist machine operators avoid potentially hazardous situations while performing roof bolting functions
  • The laser scanner is mounted in an established position on the machine and produces an invisible barrier directed in front of the drilling head of the roof bolter
  • Once this laser path is broken by (hand, limb or obstacle) the laser recognises this and operates a relay which in turn switches off a solenoid which is used to stop the rotation of the drill head function
  • Once the obstacle is removed from the path of the beam, the system automatically resets and the drill rotate function resumes
  • A complete Laser Guard System includes:
    • Explosion Proof (FLP) enclosure 
    • Laser scanner and controller
    • Power Supply Unit

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • System supply voltage range: 80 – 264VAC

MONITECH OBSTACLE DETECTION SENSOR:

FUNCTIONALITY & PERFORMANCE:

  • Designed to detect and stop mining machinery or parts thereof to prevent damage in the underground environment.
  • Current systems use rods, switches and cables which can easily be bypassed resulting in capital losses.
  • This intelligent Obstacle Detection system uses programmable sensors which are placed at strategic positions on the machine creating an invisible barrier.
  • The System is Interlocked to the machine.
  • This barrier can be manipulated to suit a required application on any machine i.e. minimising scrubber fan damage.
