The cable shovel is one of the most used pieces of equipment in operations.
open-pit mines due to the productivity they can achieve
in loading operations, responding to the trend of the
mining companies to move a larger amount of material (ore)
and sterile).
Generally, cable shovels are large-scale equipment that
they achieve high productions, with low unit costs and a high
mechanical availability.

The lower part provides a stable base for the machine and includes a
caterpillar system for propulsion and a crown for the turning system.
The top provides a platform for lifting and turning for the
machine, the pen for the implement, the control cabinets
electronic, the operator's cabin and support for the equipment.
The implement consists of the pen, the bucket push, and the handle.

of hauling.
ADVANTAGES OF CABLE SHOVELS
The most significant characteristics of cable shovels are the following:
They can dig to depths between 10 and 20 m.
They can descend at heights between 6 and 12 m.
They have a translation system on a tracked vehicle and their drive is electric.
The excavation is carried out through the combination of two movements: elevation and
push.
They are heavy and robust machines, suitable for working with any type of material.
They allow the direct starting of compact materials, although in many cases it
condition the material to the load through blasting.
They have high reliability, due to a widely tested design, with good
availability and effective utilization.
They can climb reduced slopes, but it is not advisable for them to operate on inclines.
due to possible issues in the machine's rotation system.
LIMITATIONS OF CABLE SHOVELS
They are not suitable for selective material loads.
They present a reduced excavation capacity (less than the caterpillars).
They require an auxiliary team that constantly improves the stack of
material for loading. Usually they are track tractors (bulldozer) or
wheels.
Highly skilled operators are required.
They can hinder the tasks, since the maintenance is carried out in the
same mining work.
Due to their high price, they are only considered in large-scale projects and
duration.
Nutrition
The power supply to the cable trays, at high voltage, is carried out from the
three-phase distribution network of the operation. The voltage of this network
(15 to 45 kV) is far superior to that normally used by the
excavators (3.3 to 7.2 kV), which requires a transformation
intermediate that is done through a substation, usually mobile
and located in the mining work itself. The flexible cable that reaches the
the machine from the rear conducts current to the superstructure
rotating, where most of the mechanisms and all the
command and control systems.
The movements of the electric shovel are:
Propulsion
Giro
Izae
Bucket push and pull
THE PROPULSION MOVEMENT IS USED TO MOVE THE MACHINE
FROM ONE DIGGING SITE TO ANOTHER.
IN THE SPIN MOVEMENT, THE TOP OF THE PADDLE IS
ROTATION ABOUT THE LOWER PART AND CENTERED BY A PIN
MOUNTED ON THE LOWER PART.
THE DEIZAJE MOVEMENT IN ELECTRIC PADDLES CONSISTS OF A
CABLE WRAPPED ON A DRUM WHICH IS TURNED BY THE
ELECTRIC LIFTING MOTORS.
THE MOVEMENT OF PUSHING WITH AN ELECTRIC SHOVEL REFERS TO
BUCKET MOVEMENT, MOVEMENT FROM THE MACHINE TO THE BUCKET
LOAD FRONT.
THE BUCKET OPENS BY A MECHANISM CONTROLLED FROM THE

The Work Cycle
The work cycle for the electric shovel consists of four phases:
Load.

LOAD
TURN TOWARDS THE TRUCK
Unload the truck
RETURN TO THE BANK
THE POSITIONING PHASE INVOLVES THE USE OF PROPULSION
TO MOVE THE MACHINE CLOSE TO THE LOADING FRONT TO THE
LOAD POSITION.
