The determination of alignment elements of mining hoist brake actuators

This paper presents a method of control of geometry of mining hoist brakes. To assess the relative positions and axiality of components, precise leveling and laser scanning were used. There were also presented the methods of its analysis, as well as the reasons of the malfunctioning operation of the equipment. The tests carried out showed that, for geometric assessment of this type of mechanical equipment, such methods should be used with surveying, which allow you to recreate any element of machine at virtual space. One of these methods is laser scanning.
