Dimetix and the lifting of mining equipment

The displacement of large machines in surface mining requires a precisely planned approach. If a heavy, complex structure needs to be elevated, the lifting process must be controlled at all times.

With Dimetix Laser Distance Sensors, the position of the lifted plant is measured permanently at different locations to ensure the structure always stays in an upright position.

Lampson Australia specialises in heavy lift and transport projects and also provides the associated activities of engineering and rigging design, as well as servicing and maintenance.

Internationally, Lampson has won the highly prestigious award for excellence in lifting and transportation six times so far, from the “Specialized Carrier and Rigging Association, SCRA”, for excellency in hoisting- and transport technology.

Dimetix sensors – the solution for applications with high precision requirements

Dimetix sensors offer numerous features, which are integrated in each and every device as standard, including, among others, various interfaces like SSI, RS-422/485, RS-232 and 2 digital outputs.

Optionally, the Industrial Ethernet interfaces PROFINET, EtherNET/IP and EtherCAT are also available. Furthermore, all devices are IP65-protected and impress with a weight of less than 500 grams!

Particularly noteworthy, however, is the accurate measurement of 1 millimeter over distances of up to 500 meters, even under the most extreme conditions. This is possible with the sensors of the types DPE, DEN and DEH.

No less interesting are sensors of types DAE, DAN and DBN. Preferably, they can be used for projects which do not require a range over 500 meters or are cost-sensitive.
