Excavation And Extraction

Expanding Excavation and Extraction Use of Force Measurement

From open-pit mining to subterranean tunneling, the structural integrity of heavy excavation equipment depends on precise force measurement. Discover how Interface load pins, torque transducers, and ruggedized instrumentation allow engineers to monitor real-time stress, prevent fatigue, and optimize material throughput in extreme extraction environments
Tunnel Boring

Measurement Sensors Optimize Underground Tunneling and Boring

Interface sensor technologies are critical to tunnel boring operations. Interface load cells can be strategically embedded within tunnel boring machines (TBMs) and accurately measure the forces exerted during excavation. Torque transducers can measure reaction or rotational forces on equipment components to ensure tools and machines operate properly. Using measurement sensors, machines can monitor parameters like torque, thrust, force, and weight to provide real-time feedback to operators.
