Dimensional Control Engineering for Mining: Maximum Productivity and Reliability
Dimensional control, scanning of heavy assets, and industrial surveying for mines, processing plants, ship loaders, and continuous transport systems.
The Challenge of Heavy Mining
Mining operates in the industry's most demanding environment: colossal loads, heavy dust, abrasive conditions, and nonstop cycles.
Under these conditions, massive pieces of equipment are subject to constant mechanical wear. Minor misalignments cause:
- Unscheduled stoppages that bring the supply chain to a standstill.
- Millions in losses due to failures in axles, gears, and belts.
- Premature wear and tear on high-cost assets.
Critical Solutions and Applications
Infrastructure and Continuous Transportation
Belt Conveyors (TCLs)
Measurement of long sections of conveyor belts, pulleys, and drums to prevent belt tears and misalignment.
Digital Twins (As-Built)
3D scanning of processing plants for clash detection and expansion projects.
Volumetric Calculation of Stockpiles
Precise measurement of stockpile volumes in yards, buffer stockpiles, and dams using drones and laser scanners.
Dam Surveying
Monitoring of stability and structural settlement in compliance with safety standards.
Furnaces and Infrastructure
3D Furnace Inspection
Thermal and dimensional laser scanning to monitor the steel shell and assess wear on the internal refractories, guiding effective refurbishments.
Rolling Paths
Inspection of overhead crane and gantry crane tracks to ensure the safe handling of molten metal.
As-Built Survey
Creation of Digital Twins (3D models) of reduction plants and piping systems, ideal for simulating interference and planning expansions.
TECHNICAL COMPLIANCE AND INTEGRITY
We ensure compliance with the geometric tolerances (GD&T) required by major global manufacturers (OEMs). Our technology integrates laser scanning with engineering software for structural analysis (FEA), preventing catastrophic failures and ensuring full operational availability from mining to port shipment.
WHAT SETS US APART: PRECISION WITHOUT INTERRUPTING PRODUCTION
Operating in the mining industry requires robust and agile technology. Tecnimex performs high-precision remote inspections, eliminating the need for extended downtime and reducing employees' exposure to hazardous areas.
Noncontact metrology
Fast measurement in environments with vibration and dust.
Conclusive Reports
Editable 3D models that directly guide predictive and corrective maintenance.
