Remote Control Equipment

Operator safety & the requirement for increased mobile equipment productivity have changed the focus of traditional mining techniques & methods.  By working closely with our clients, GM Mining Electrics have developed 'TELECAM' remote & tele-remote control systems.

These systems vary in configuration from machine to machine depending on the clients requirements & are designed to replicate the vehicles operator's cabin as close as practicable; thus reducing operator confusion from manual to remote operation.

Each system is tailored to our suit clients' specific requirements.

'TELECAM' remote & tele-remote control systems are comprised of several different components:

Radio Remote Control System

There is a choice of radio systems dependent on the application.

HBC

GM Mining Electrics have been installing & supporting the German made HBC radio remote control systems in the mining industry for over 20 years.  Each system is a fully proportional radio system capable of controlling mobile mining equipment such as LHD loaders (boggers), skid steer loaders, drill rigs, dozers, excavators, cranes, rock breakers and trucks.

HBC radio systems have built their reputation as being a durable & adaptable system that has proven itself within the Australian mining industry.  This system meets all mines department & Australian regulations & has a dual failsafe emergency stop system.

Features include:

• Compact, lightweight & rugged transmitter
• Large robust joysticks with integrated service brake application
• 2 x high capacity rechargeable battery packs capable of a full shift of operation (12 hours)
• Battery indication LED & audible alarm
• Transmitter tilt protection
• Rigid shoulder harness or belt clip mounts
• Receiver
• Receiver is of machined die-cast aluminium construction – IP65 rated
• LED status indication lights
• High quality multi-pole electrical connector
• Receiver outputs available include digital, analogue, PWM, DDEC & Danfoss

Drill Rig Remote Control System

The remote control system that GM Mining Electrics have designed to operate the latest generation of drilling rigs is in our opinion state of the art.  This system is versatile, adaptable, expandable, & it meets all of the current remote control regulations & Australian standards.

This system features the following characteristics:

• Failsafe design
• Disparity checking
• Digital & analogue inputs & outputs
• Programmable

Tele-Remote Control Operations Station

There are various styles of operator’s stations currently available! These include:

• Purpose built portable cabin
• Mobile vehicle
• Control room - located on the surface or underground
• Portable suitcase

Each operator's station (except the portable suitcase) is equipped with an operator's chair, 2 x LCD's, audio & machine fault feedback & air-conditioning

Each station is purpose built & can be manufactured to suit a client’s requirements. The stations are connected to the area in which the machine is operational via an independent communication system which is designed for each individual work area by our fully trained staff.

Machine Logic Package

Each package is tailored to suit each machine.  As each machine is different, varied packages are designed, built & installed.

All packages include:

• Hydraulic interfaces
• Electrical interfaces
• Latest technology audio visual interfaces, including; Fixed & zoom cameras; Pan & tilt unit; Microphone
