RCT has finished a major automation project at Matsa Resources\u2019 Aguas Te\u00f1idas and Magdalena mines in the Huelva province of Spain.<\/p>\n
The project involved installing ControlMaster guidance automation on four CAT R2900G underground loaders and one automation centre surface control station at Matsa\u2019s Aguas Te\u00f1idas copper-lead-zinc mine.<\/p>\n
The Automation Centre is fitted out with RCT\u2019s multiple machine control feature, enabling a single operator to remotely control multiple machines at the same time via Aguas Te\u00f1idas\u2019 digital communications network.<\/p>\n
RCT also commissioned two Sandvik LH621 underground loaders with ControlMaster guidance automation at the nearby Magdalena copper mine.<\/p>\n
The Sandvik loaders can operate on a digital network via RCT\u2019s area access cabinets which act as an extension of the automation Centre and interfaces between the work areas and the machines.<\/p>\n
This instalment builds on a previous project to mount ControlMaster teleremote and guidance automation solutions on three of the site\u2019s CAT R2900G underground loaders which operated on an analogue network via two surface control stations.<\/p>\n
Guidance Automation solution means machines can tram between two predetermined points on a mine site with the simple push of a button by operators who also receive real-time information including machine speed, RPM, direction, pitch and roll.<\/p>\n
