Automation
A rail-guided conveying system in open-face
mining uses two e-chains® from igus® for
cable management. The first is installed in a
conveyor belt at a height of eight metres –
the second to a prototype which is equipped
with pressure plates and loads material from
a mine pile onto the collecting conveyor. Both
move around 50 metres along the rail. Unfavourable
environmental conditions such as lack
of space or the sand, which continually contaminates
the system, also had to be taken
into account.
