Integrated Technology Package and Operator Assist Technology Package – for the Cat ® 7495 and 7495 HF Electric Rope Shovels . The new packages eliminate the need for one-off technology customsation , offer faster technology installation and provide seamless integration of future technologies into machine operation . They offer improved health and productivity data tracking that help to reduce the number of unplanned machine outages , creating a more predictable maintenance schedule while extending component life .
The Integrated Technology Package fully integrates Cat Electronics into the machine ’ s design and provides the foundation to support future technology expansion . The new package features six standard technologies – ranging from health monitoring to cycle segmentation – to support improved uptime reliability , improved operator efficiency and enhanced cyber security . This upgrade also provides seamless integration of Cat ® MineStar™ Solutions ’ comprehensive suite of operational technologies that help track , monitor and manage the shovel .
Building on the Integrated Technology Package , the Operator Assist Technology Package provides machine self-protection and control enhancements that simplify 7495 and 7495 HF operation . Without sacrificing productivity , this upgrade minimises machine self-collisions and safeguards against operator practices that cause
damage . It allows less experienced operators to efficiently load trucks , while reducing the effort required to avoid poor digging practices that can impact machine availability and overall productivity .
The new Operator Assist Technology Package upgrade simplifies how the shovel is operated through machine selfprotection . It automatically detects and avoids collisions between the dipper , crawler , boom bumper and cable management systems .
The technology ’ s LiDAR vision system scans the front of the shovel and algorithms integrate with operator commands to provide the least intrusive avoidance path . If a collision is unavoidable , the system will arrest machine motion to prevent or mitigate the collision . It reduces unplanned downtime , extends component life and improves total cost of ownership .
The package features the second generation of Enhanced Motion Control , encompassing all the improvements of the first generation . It also offers a new feature to protect the rotating undercarriage by alerting the operator when the turning angle exceeds 20 degrees , so corrective action can be taken .
New optional technology packages for Cat ® Electric Rope Shovels focus on increased efficiency , production and uptime
Other features within the new Operator Assist Technology Package include anti-swing in bank prevents damaging side-loading forces on the dipper when the operator attempts to swing the dipper through the bank . Hoist stall prevention monitors forces and optimises crowd / retract commands to avoid stalling the dipper and prevent detrimental forces on the hoist gearcase . Hoist rope slack prevention automatically adjusts crowd and hoist references to maintain rope tension when slack is detected .
Boom jack minimisation automatically adjusts hoist and crowd to maintain proper rope tension and improves cycle times . Rope crowd impact
