The Largest Tracked Mobile Machine
The rugged data acquisition system SomatXR guarantees reliable measurement results in harsh environments during long term tests of the jaw crusher LJ5139 from Terex®MPS.
When Terex® MPS needed a reliable and flexible system to measure stress on its range of stone crushing machines, it turned to HBK to provide a solution. As part of its ongoing research towards the development of this powerful range, HBK was asked to consult on the LJ5139, which will be the largest tracked mobile machine in its range when fully developed.
Terex® MPS needed a rugged and reliable measuring amplifier system for long-term testing of the LJ5139 jaw crusher in a quarry. Uneven surfaces, high impact forces, and dust – the jaw crusher is subject to high loads in a harsh environment, which the amplifier system, too, must withstand.
The analysis software that HBK supplied is intuitive and easy to understand; the user friendly visualization module allows us to view live data as it is being recorded on site. Also we are now able to create custom indicators based on live calculates as we receive live figures of the toggle plate load while the crusher is running. Another helpful feature is that we can continually change the display on the screen whilst logging which allows us to monitor each gauge in turn as a full screen graph and we can instantly identify high loads. The post-processing capabilities of the software are also very impressive; there are a variety of ways to filter and trim data before exporting in various formats.
