Sensors
Tiefenbach Control Systems constantly strives to automate the complete mining process in order to reduce the strain and hazards the personnel is subjected to.
To achieve this goal the control units need a large number of environmental values. Therefore, Tiefenbach Control System has developed different types of sensors which allow to unequivocally determine each and every possible environmental variable.

Underground mining as it is today would not be possible without hydraulic systems. These systems, however, must be constantly monitored in order to ensure that they function safely and without failures. Tiefenbach Control Systems offers special pressure sensors for this purpose.
Due to their internal circuits these sensors calculate an analog electrical signal direct ifrom the existing pressure and that signal can be read out via different devices.
Inclination sensors
Tiefenbach Control Systems inclination sensors can be used whereever angles have to be measured. These high-precision inclinometers provide solutions to a large varety of complex problems. Thus, we did for example devise a radio-remote[...]
Tiefenbach Control Systems inclination sensors can be used whereever angles have to be measured. These high-precision inclinometers provide solutions to a large varety of complex problems. Thus, we did for example devise a radio-remote inclination control for conveyors. Our automatic shield height recognition system also calculates its data exclusively on the basis of data received from various different inclination sensors.
Temperature sensors
For the continual measurement of temperature changes Tiefenbach Control Systems offers special temperature sensors. Thanks to their space-saving and compact design they can be used for a wide variety of applications. Our temperature switches[...]

Tiefenbach Control Systems offers different types of displacement sensors for the most different path and stroke measurement applications. They permit continuous non-contact position measurements. Types used are tubular sensors for installation into cylinders as well as straight and bent U-sections. A high degree of stability and safety is ensured by placing the sensors into rugged metal housings and embedding them in cast resin.

For wireless communication Tiefenbach Control Systems offers optical transmission media in addition to several radio solutions. Due to their special characteristic the former is suitable e.g. for position monitoring. An infrared transmitter fitted to the mining machine can provide the current machine position at any time. The respective infrared receivers detecting the machine passing are located in the shield control units.
