Monitor Your Most Complex Pit Asset – The Electric Rope Shovel
The mining pit is an inherently dangerous environment. The daily interaction between man and large, moving machinery creates an environment of ongoing risk. Add to that the unexpected shutdown of an electric rope shovel and the result is a real threat to both personnel safety and production goals. Everything on a shovel is subject to failure, and eventually you will experience a breakdown. The impact of that failure can be significantly reduced by monitoring key shovel components – the crowd, hoist, and swing drives. Emerson’s AMS 6500 has a proven history of monitoring for unique vibration characteristics found in rotating equipment – the same types found on many types of ore extracting assets, including the electric rope shovel.

For some rotating assets and the processes associated with them, periodic route-based data collection is insufficient to indicate asset health. Online condition monitoring provides the frequency and types of data necessary to stay on top of developing issues during normal operations and to respond quickly to sudden changes during transient conditions. Emerson’s AMS 6500 Machinery Health Monitor is a versatile, scalable system that can be deployed in a variety of configurations to deliver online condition monitoring exactly as needed for the application.
- Designed for use in Hazardous rated areas: CSA C1D2 and ATEX/IECEx Z2
- Prediction assets without critical shutdown criteria
- Prediction layered on top of existing protection

The AMS 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer takes vibration data and analysis measurements to the next level. It features simultaneous four-channel plus phase data collection and unique peak detection capabilities for the earliest indication of bearing and gearbox degradation. In addition to delivering faster data collection for less time in the field or more machines monitored, the AMS 2140 is ergonomically designed for comfortable, single hand operation all day long.
- Includes new PeakVue Plus technology for earliest and simplest indication of bearing degradation and severity
- One of the fastest vibration analyzers on the market
- Ergonomically designed to make long days in the field easier

AMS Machinery Manager integrates multiple predictive maintenance techniques with comprehensive analysis tools to provide easy and accurate assessment of the machinery health across different types of mechanical assets in your facility. The modular technology applications incorporate diagnostic and reporting sources into a common database for analysis of machinery health across the entire plant. New software releases are available at no charge to customers via AMS Machinery Manager product support, delivered through Guardian.
- New Dashboard and Navigation tool – easily identify assets with declining health, data collection routes overdue, and quickly launch in context for analysis.
- Database size increased from 2 to 32GB – archive data less frequently and combine previously archived databases for easy long-term data comparison.
- Database schema conversion – When upgrading to AMS Machinery Manager v6.3, you will need to update the schema of databases that were created prior to AMS Machinery Manager v6.3. In an effort to make this process as easy as possible, Emerson has created an automated database schema converter tool to convert databases found within the installation media.
