The Joint Institute of Mechanical Engineering offers consumers a technology for vibration monitoring of gearboxes of motor-wheels of the BELAZ quarry dump truck with wireless data transmission, including adaptation of the system for a specific production facility under a commercial agreement with technical assistance and/or manufacture and delivery of the system to the buyer under a manufacturing agreement.

The main objective of the system is to prevent emergency failure of heavy-duty dump trucks and to obtain an economic effect from replacing the planned preventive maintenance system with condition-based maintenance.

The system provides periodic receipt of information on current vibration parameters, their processing, analysis and output of diagnostic results to the dashboard of the mobile vehicle for timely informing the driver about the current technical condition of the transmission gears.

The system is designed for on-board non-disassemblable technical diagnostics of heavily loaded gear drive mechanisms of a quarry dump truck and eliminating cases of its emergency failure. It is offered to consumers as an additional option on BELAZ quarry dump trucks with a lifting capacity of 130 tons, and can be easily adapted for other BELAZ dump trucks with an electromechanical transmission.

The vibration monitoring system of the technical condition of planetary gearboxes of motor-wheels integrated into the on-board control and diagnostic system of BELAZ dump trucks during their quarry operation in real time monitors the vibration parameters of transmission gears, records and stores diagnostic information throughout the entire life cycle. The function of automated wireless data transmission via GSM communication helps to remotely collect data on the vibration condition of dump truck gearboxes in various quarries on a single service terminal.

Information on vibration monitoring of motor-wheel gearboxes of BELAZ quarry dump trucks with wireless data transmission is contained in "Catalog of Products and Services of the Joint Institute of Mechanical Engineering" 2018, p.56.

Information also is posted in the  Album of promising developments of the NAS of Belarus organizations for the real sector of the economy (2023), p. 97-98. (in Russian)

The most well-known proposals for remote monitoring and diagnostics systems for quarry equipment are CATERPILLAR (USA) and KOMATSU (Japan), however, CatET and VHMS are closed, without the right of access for third parties and organizations, so their use for the equipment of OJSC BELAZ is not possible.

A significant difference between the proposed system and the well-known developments of Russian manufacturers specializing in equipment for vibroacoustic monitoring and diagnostics (OOO DIAMEH 2000, OOO VAST Association, OOO INKOTES, etc.) is the ability to assess the technical condition of complex mobile mechanical systems under their operating conditions under variable loads and speeds.

The use of the system reduces the time for machine maintenance by 15-17% and troubleshooting by 1.5-2 times, and also increases the average time between failures by at least 10-15%, is environmentally friendly, has no waste and does not require consumables. The use of a CAN bus makes it easy to integrate the vibration monitoring system into the on-board control and diagnostic system of BELAZ dump trucks, and data transmission via GSM communication allows the use of serial mobile communication devices.

The holders of the design documentation for the system are the Joint Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and OJSC BELAZ.
