Designed in the U.S., the LISA shearer electrical control system features a modularized layout and design that greatly reduces the number of wires, plugs and connections.  This new control system for Eickhoff shearers is now in operation at an underground coal mine in Southwestern Pennsylvania.  So far, the results of the installation look very encouraging.

The various display screens provide information on all parameters necessary to operate and maintain the machine including motor currents, winding temperatures, and oil pressures.  In the event of trouble, the on-screen diagnostics will quickly lead maintenance personnel to the source of the problem.  An on-screen fault message provides troubleshooting tips, location of test points (by compartment) and a part number of the component in the event that it would need to be replaced.  A typical fault message is shown below.

Eickhoff has always been a world class supplier of gearing for all aspects of the mining industry, including longwall shearers.  This top quality gearing coupled with a state-of-the-art control system that is easy to troubleshoot should provide the mining industry with a machine that is both powerful and reliable.

Please feel free to stop by Eickhoff Corporation for a demonstration of the LISA control system.
