Perfuração em mina subterrânea utilizando processos automatizados

Abstract

The automation of processes contributes to the systematization and increase of production. The automation of drilling equipment used in mining, in addition to increasing production, improves the results of the equipment's indicators, increasing the reliability of the process. The Simba M6 C-ITH is an equipment used for production drilling, that is, the product obtained from drilling is the desired result, which is composed of ore and waste. The indicators of this equipment are analyzed in this work being of paramount importance to determine improvements provided in the performance of the equipment with the inclusion of ABC Total. ABC Total is a feature that allows the equipment to be operated automatically. The automatic operation eliminates external interference that can cause damage to the company's assets, since the machine does not work outside of operating standards. ABC Total is actually the advanced boom control that allows you to control the entire drilling process performed by the equipment. On the other hand, the automatic mode requires specific maintenance and operation care. When equipment works in extreme and adverse conditions, it is necessary to take care of its components to keep it working properly. With the inclusion of ABC Total in the Simba M6 C-ITH equipment, it is observed that significant changes in the indicators, suggesting an improvement.
