Shield control units
The economic efficiency of a hard coal mine essentially depends on the efficiency of the coal producing process. The mining operation being stopped completely or even only being interrupted thus results in a considerable economic loss.
Tiefenbach Control Systems now has the latest generation of shield control units on offer in order to ensure a smooth operation of the roof support system.
These control units, though primarily designed as face support controls, can be used variably in a wide variety of environments. Typical examples are deferrization plants, pump and filter control systems as well as the control of dump valves.
One of the most important areas relevant for production within a mine is the longwall face and thus also the complete longwall equipment including the respective shield support. Inadequacies in the control of this longwall support system generally have fatal consequences with respect to mine output and safety.

The ASG 5 is the core product within our range of shield support units. It is available in a wide variety of configurations. The number of sensor inputs and/or valve outputs can be varied to suit the indvidual application.
The enclosure is made of rugged high-grade steel and withstands the most arduous conditions underground. The display with background lighting and the large keys facilitate operation of the unit. An easily noticed stop switch permits to interrupt all functions in the surrounding area quickly when hazardous situations develop. This switch additionally has a jumbo selector light integrated. Thanks to its high luminous power this light is visible from afar. It is therefore easy to see which control units are activated and which units are currently operating an automatic cycle, even from a longer distance away.
