Back-slide prevention to TBM

About the project
To prevent back sliding of a tunnel boring machine, working on a slope, we designed a special hydraulic cylinder with safety features. The redundant valves that are integrated directly into the cylinder base with the gas filled accumulator provide secure operation. Various other manifold blocks and the PLC control and visualisation put the finishing touch on ATP's offering in this unique and prestigious project.
Specially designed hydraulic cylinders, manifolds, controls, visualisation.
