SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT
ProVid condition monitoring system installed on a gearbox
are loaded in one pass. T ese giant machines must move forcefully, but delicately. Robust gearboxes are required to ensure the machine remains reliably in motion. Based on the Redulus4F
for industrial
applications, ZF transferred the successful new design philosophy measures to future gearbox generations of its mobile drives, with the verifi ed outcome of signifi cantly higher torque densities per size, shown by GPT4F
series. T is
results in increased lifetime, robustness, availability and effi ciency for higher working force.
REMOTE MONITORING Mining equipment is always subject to various factors: environment, climate, structure of the substrate and much more. Components could fail that might cause downtime when anomalies are not detected. Condition-based monitoring in maintenance is focused on preventing asset failures, downtime and determining what maintenance needs to be completed and when. It can be considered essential to any predictive maintenance strategy. T e gearboxes are developed with an
eye on minimal maintenance eff orts. For Redulus4F
the easy access to the
main components is also linked to ZF’s condition monitoring system, ProVid. T e system is based on many years of application experience and expertise in the fi eld of vibration measurement and additional analysis. T anks to remote monitoring, continuous status reports are provided worldwide. Kainzbauer comments: “T is combination guarantees proactive service planning and fast intervention on a global scale. Any irregularities that may occur in the powertrain are detected at a very early stage and necessary measures are initiated. T is way service operations are reduced
and machine lifetime and availability will increase.” Current and future challenges in mining industries ask for intelligent solutions. T anks to the fl exible and powerful designs, these “power packs for the future” answer the needs of a fast-changing market. Together with continuous condition monitoring and global service teams, worldwide availability and fast interventions are guaranteed.
Mining applications must withstand heavy-duty operating conditions
