Dynamic measurements in crusher operation

From the measurement concept to measurement on the construction site

Among other things, RubbleMaster manufactures mobile crushing plants that can be used to break up and separate construction waste into its components so that it can then be reused as valuable raw materials in the construction process.

In order to improve and validate the in-house calculation models, it was necessary to record the loads on the system using high-quality measurement technology.

LCM was able to implement this measurement task quickly, proving that we do not shy away from harsh measurement environments.

Requirements

Recording of measurement data in real operation of mobile crushing plant at maximum load
Measurements on rotating components
Synchronous measurement of torsion, bending, acceleration and electrical currents
Transfer of all measurement data for further processing by the customer
As little disruption to production processes as possible, cost-effective and fast

Solution

Creation of measurement plan and search for suitable measuring devices
Procurement of sensors and data loggers
Development of a radio trigger and production of electronics supply, housings and brackets
Application of the sensors and test measurements at LCM and customer in production, coordinated with production processes
Measurements on the construction site
Data preparation and transfer
