Company that creates mining equipment is breaking new ground with robotic and autonomous technology to make the job safer
A mining-equipment company with a test mine in Sudbury is developing a new type of rock-bolting technology designed to make the job safer and more efficient.
Ground control is the process of ensuring the stability of underground excavations and preventing falls of rock. MacLean has a test mine in Lively consisting of a ramp and several hundred metres of drift, where van Koppen said mining machines can be tested in real life conditions. He said the new robotic rock bolter is being tested there.
"Essentially the concept is that we replace the operator with a robotic arm and the operator is now in a cab." "And that's especially true when you look at upper end development, where you have gravity helping a hand as well. Then there's also bursting scenarios. So in mines with a lot of seismicity, again a lot of the bursts come from lower walls, because traditionally they have not been as well supported," van Koppen said.
