SKF Copperhead fault detection system for mining machinery features a rugged sensor, developed exclusively for the mining and cement industries. The pre-engineered and easy-to-install system can be used as a stand-alone device or integrated into a plant automation system.
SKF Copperhead can detect the following type of machinery faults:
- Loose parts (loose toggle parts, loose screen mesh)
- Unbalance
- Gear damage (gear mesh)
- Bearing damage
- Lack of lubrication
- Impacts
- High temperature
The SKF Copperhead fault detection system for mobile equipment monitors vibration, temperature, speed and load of the vehicle's mechanical systems while in operation. The system communicates critical data, which can be analyzed by SKF worldwide through a web-based link or by your trained staff. The user friendly software provides an early warning of potential problems with the goal of avoiding catastrophic failure. An intrinsically safe version can also be offered.
