American Mine Door's November 2014 e-NEWSLETTER
Exciting New Capabilities at American Mine Door
According to WikiPedia, the oldest known mine was located in Serbia and operated around 5000 BC. In some ways, not much has changed. Underground mining remains a challenging, often dangerous enterprise, but when you combine American ingenuity and 21st century technology, anything is possible.
What the ancients would have seen as the magic of the gods and the strength of titans, American Mine Door brings to reality today. Let’s take a look!
Collision Avoidance
For all of history, mines have been under threat from the natural
forces of water and shifting rock.
Now, trucks weighing as much as 232,000 lbs under load routinely navigate narrow shafts in 24/7 shifts to bring out the payloads that drive our industrialized world.
It’s a unique situation, one in which even a minor “traffic accident? can cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, and where costs mount to include delayed production, compromised safety, and unhappy customers.
At American Mine Door, we can keep your trucks on course with our new Collision Avoidance System.
Using a rib-mountain, light curtain system, our new technology
provides visual and audible
alarms when drivers stray off course. It
even helps drivers make the turn after passing through a pressure door.
Looking at the images here, imagine the efforts and costs to get this door repaired or replaced.
In many cases, if a crucial ventilation door is out of service a mine will need to evacuate the area and stop mining efforts. Door replacements costs are minimal compared to the lost revenues to the mine.

1000 Ton Press Brake
When it comes to the strength of mythical beings like titans and
giants, we doubt the boldest imaginations of ancient Greece could have
believed the power of our new 1000 Ton Press Brake!
Few manufacturers in the US have the capacity to lift, move, and bend metal pieces up to 60,000 lbs in weight.
At American Mine Door, our press brake crews have the experience to form a wide variety of shapes up to 20' wide. These include cones, cylinders, segments, compound curves, pipes, reducers, transitions, knuckle segments, dished plates, and more.
This press brake is a brand new addition to AMD’s Custom Fabrication capabilities, which also include a new Koike Plasma Table with and 8?X 20?cutting area.
