The drill stop laser uses light detection and ranging technology to enhance the safety for mining operations.
The laser beam measures distances and create detailed, accurate maps of the side walls and roof.
Reas Electricals Drill stop function focuses on the below safety functions:
Collision Avoidance:
Drill stop laser sensors can be mounted on mining equipment such as trucks, bulldozers, excavators, and rock drills to detect obstacles or other vehicles in real-time. The device is interlinked to the control unit to cut the power of operation and apply safety processes such according to the mine specifications. This helps in preventing collisions and improving safety for both the equipment operators and pedestrians in the mining area.
Personnel Detection:
The sensor to detect the presence of personnel in potentially hazardous areas, ensuring that mining operations are halted or slowed down when individuals enter the controlled zones.
Slope Monitoring:
Fall of ground In open-pit mining, the system can be used to monitor the stability of slopes and highwalls. It can provide data on changes in the slope's profile, which can assist in the prevention of equipment in the event of landslides.
