Technology automatically levels various portable plants Superior Industries developed its new Level Assist technology to automatically level a plant once the machinery is raised to the desired height When a plant moves to its operating location the operator hydraulically lifts the machinery to the proper height then engages the Level Assist by switching the control panel from manual mode to auto mode The system reduces the need for additional labor to make tedious adjustments and it eliminates the possibility of plants creating out of spec material overstressing bearings and gears and increasing parts wear by excessive vibration by not being level The technology is available as an option for new portable crushing screening and washing plants or it can be retrofitted to existing machinery www superior ind com J U S T R E L E A S E D T O T H E M A R K E T Gearbox torque limiters prevent costly overload damage company says The Rotoshield Gearbox Torque Limiters GTL from Fenner Drives are designed to prevent torque overloads by instantly disengaging components and automatically resetting with 360 degree rotation The torque limiters are mounted directly to the motor and gearbox between the motor and high efficiency reducer with no additional design or machining required That makes them more economical than torque limiters installed on the output of the reducer The Rotoshield GTL can be used in a variety of industrial applications including food and beverage packaging wastewater treatment and shredders and recycling www fennerdrives com Software includes intuitive CAD design tools for mine surveyors New software by Maptek provides mine surveyors with additional tools for fast and accurate calculation of volumes conformance reporting geotechnical analysis and computer aided design CAD I Site Studio 6 includes CAD design tools in user friendly preferences for snapping to angles and points It also provides auto registration and alignment of scans complex surface modeling waviness analysis for geotechnical modeling and analysis The software includes new and enhanced geotechnical options for better understanding of structural relationships Kinematic analysis now features defaults for failure types and the automatic shading of failure zones to highlight areas of potential failure on the stereonet New CAD tools allow users to create outlines direct from 3 D point cloud data www maptek com 6 PIT QUARRY February 2016 www pitandquarry com
