Tyre Handler:
Changing the huge earthmoving equipment tyres weighing up to 10 tonnes is now safer thanks to BMA Blackwater mines new industrial strength camera system.
BMA Blackwater mine received delivery of their 2 new Tyre handlers in June 2007. Videotronics where contacted earlier in the year and provided an onsite consultation with maintenance personnel to determine the correct mounting positions and correct field of views required by the Tyre handlers operators.
Installation took place in August 2007 at BMA Blackwater and was managed by Brad Houghton Videotronics Emerald district manager.
The system has two cameras on each machine.
The rear camera allows the operator to see what is behind the machine this camera is automatically engaged once the machine is placed in reverse gear. If required the rear camera can be manually selected also.
The front facing camera was installed as part of an initiative from Blackwater mine to minimise the time the tyre fitter has to spend in the "restricted zone" between the machine and the tyre. In the next few months Videotronics plans to return to site and consult with the Tyre maintenance department on possible ways to improve the system in the future
