PreView Technology

Technology:

Surface mining machines are some of the most rugged machines on the planet, required to navigate mining sites where mere dirt berms may separate one from potential disaster.  An industry like this demands a durable safety system like PreView™ that can handle inclement weather, temperature extremes, dust and dirt, and constant vibrations.  That's why PreView™ features a robust design that includes an encapsulated circuitry and ruggedized harnesses to handle the rigors of the mining environment.

PreView™ utilizes a pulse radar technology to detect moving and stationary objects in zones obscured from the operator's view.  Why pulse radar?  Because some systems, like ultrasonic infrared and video, rely on ideal environmental conditions to function properly, while others, like Doppler radar, only detect moving objects.  Pulse radar technology detects both stationary and moving objects in virtually all environmental conditions.  When safety is a priority, making sure your safety system works is vital.

User-Friendly "Networkable" Display

The PreView™ in-cab display was designed to maximize its effectiveness in the cab environment.  The display features a group of lights and an audible alert to provide the operator with notification of an object's relative distance.  The closer the vehicle gets to an object, the more L.E.D. lights will illuminate and the audible warning output will increase in frequency.  Displays in the Xtreme version of PreView™ can network multiple sensors at one time.  This allows for custom configurations of one or multiple displays inside the cab.  For instance, a typical application may mount one display to communicate with the sensors on the left side of a shovel and one display to communicate with sensors on the right.
