Automation
Bucyrus automation technology sets standards for the control of underground mining systems and conveyors. Our experts’ know-how and decades of experience guarantee professional solutions for the most varied tasks.

The spectrum ranges from development and production to custom programming of intrinsically safe control systems and PC based systems within pressure-proof encapsulation. Service begins during project planning for each system or customized solution. On schedule delivery and highest quality are as much a part of service as reliable on-site support worldwide. The high quality is reflected in the company’s ISO 9000:2000 certification and by production in accordance with MA guidelines.


Core Products
State-of-the-art microcontroller technology and increased computing power allow a completely new dimension of automation.

PMC®-R - Roof Support
PMC®-V - Operator Interface
PMC®-D - Drive Control
PMC®-G - Communication


Visualization and Monitoring
The mining control center can process data collected from the PM4 or PMC®-R at the longwall, from gearbox computers and from the shearer.

• Process visualization
• Parameter management
• Data recording
• Remote maintenance



Bus Technology
Intelligent Ventilation Technology (VMC – Ventilation Monitoring and Control) is an intrinsically safe data transmission and shut-down system. When parameters for CH4 or other gases are exceeded alarms are given and/or electrical systems will be shutdown, depending on the parameter setting.

• Ensures centralized collection and monitoring
• System diagnosis
• Reduced cabling in installation
• High-safety standards
