HOW AUTOMATED TRACK-LINING AND RAISING SYSTEMS WORK...2- THE PLASSER SYSTEM

This second in a series of articles on systems used for detecting errors in line and surface for conversions into signals that govern the raising and lining devices on production machines describes the Plasser automated system. The Plasser proportional system is based on analog signals for correcting surface, cross-level and lining deviations which actuate electrically controlled servo hydraulic valves. These valves control the speed of hydraulic cylinders.
