2022 Caterpillar Electric Rope Shovels 7495 With Rope Crowd

Electric rope shovels have been successfully removing overburden and ore on mine sites around the world for more than a century. Driven by a vision to make these highly productive machines safer, more reliable and even more productive, we challenged the status quo and built an electric rope shovel that's better.

Features may include:

• You will experience greater machine uptime, lower operating costs, and faster cycle times via our AC electric rope shovel designs that leverage institutional knowledge built on 30 years of experience commissioning more than 200 AC equipped machines worldwide.

• A streamlined AC system design that runs smoother, has fewer parts, and is easier to maintain, are the benefits you will realize, and the result of three decades of continuous improvement.

• A single, centralized control rack reduces parts requirements, eliminates communication issues between racks, and simplifies maintenance

• A single, compact drive cabinet houses the controller and drives to simplify assembly, troubleshooting, and maintenance

• Fuses, circuit breakers, and line filters have been eliminated reducing potential points of failure and overall parts requirements

• Parallel inverters have been removed to prevent uneven loading and to reduce the number of inverters required by the system

• The IGBT modules have been designed to be interchangeable between inverters and Active Front Ends (AFEs) and between motions and machines

• Your safety remains our highest priority, and is evident in our AC system design.

• The high voltage DC bus is located in the back of the drive cabinet and is never exposed during maintenance or troubleshooting

• The centralized control rack keeps maintenance personnel away from high voltage components when troubleshooting the controller

• Shielding blocks induced currents eliminate the need for high frequency bonding

• Helping to ensure your rope shovel remains in service, our AC system is designed to perform in the toughest mining conditions.

• The robust, welded drive cabinet was designed to withstand severe and consistent vibration

• An isolated, positive-pressure room houses the drive/controller cabinet to protect it from dust and debris

• Mine-grade components are used to ensure system performance and long, trouble-free life

• Providing more comfort, added safety, and greater reliability, our newly designed state-of-the-art operator's cab will help you produce more. The product of a multi-year collaboration with mining companies and rope shovel operators from across the globe, our Design Engineers, armed with insights into the aspects most desired by you, have designed what we believe to be the most comfortable and productivity-enhancing operator's cab in the industry.

• Increase productivity, and your bottom line, with our comfort-infused cab.

• Reduced fatigue-causing vibration resulting from bolstered support and stability of extended machinery house underneath isolator mounted cab

• Operator seat, armrests, and footrest adjust to perfectly fit a wide-range of body sizes

• Effortless operation and improved control response resulting from new, Hall Effect joysticks (patent pending), with custom-designed ergonomic handles and “finger touch control” spring tension
