OVERVIEW
The intrinsically-safe Cat® PMC-R control units are used on shearer or plow faces to provide medium to high level of longwall automation. Each Roof Support needs to be equipped with one PMC-R control unit and a solenoid driver to operate the in-shield hydraulic functions and a set of peripheral components, like sensors for pressures and shield advance. The PMC-R can control and display all functions of a shield and is simultaneously the interface between operator and machine (HMI). The PMC-R system can control all individual shield functions based on a reliable network. As an interactive system, it allows the user to execute single shield functions as well as automatic functions. Important process values are continuously displayed as feedback for the operator.

- Overview: Moving Mountains - No matter how fast your shearer can cut, you can't keep cutting until you move the coal away from the face. Cat® Armored Face Conveyors (AFCs) are designed to keep things moving and to carry the maximum possible amount of coal smoothly away from the coalface. They are designed for high availability and economy in operation. They are easy to maintain and offer long service life and a great return on investment to mine operators.

- Overview: Cat® Controlled Start Transmission (CST) drive systems optimize the use of power for maximum production capacities. Ever more powerful systems require ever more horsepower, heavier chains and faster conveyor speed with maximum availability. What was needed was a truly intelligent drive system for face conveyors, which led our engineers to develop the Controlled Start Transmission (CST) drive system meeting the following requirements: • Currently available power up to 1200 kW (1,950 hp) per transmission unit • Safe startup of the face conveyor • Full utilization of the installed power • Highly durable components • Compact dimensions • High level of efficiency
