Conductix-Wampfler Wins Supplier Award
Electric shovels are more mechanically efficient than diesel-hydraulics and produce 60% less greenhouse gases. As you can imagine, the slip ring assembly must withstand harsh mining environments, severe vibration, and high G forces.
The P&H shovel slip ring measures 1x1x2.4 meters and weighs 726 kg. Power rings are 480A/15 kV and 2000A/600V with a set of rings to pass controls and signals. The USA group builds an average of 15 units a year.
Earlier this year, P&H Mining awarded Conductix-Wampfler USA with their P&H Supplier Excellence Trophy. “The award recognizes superior P&H suppliers and encourages improved delivery and service to its customers. Of the 520 active P&H suppliers, only six have received this award”, explains Jeff Judisch, Director of Quality Systems. The USA team won the award by achieving 100% on time deliveries and 100% “zero defects” quality for the prior 11 months. Lon Miller, President of CXW USA, was recognized for the achievement at this year’s P&H Supplier Summit.
Earning the award was truly an organization-wide effort. The achievement puts CXW in position to take advantage of other opportunities in the mining machinery market. So “hats off” to the Conductix-Wampfler USA group for a job well done!
