Cadia and Freeport Concentrators.
Photogrammetry was used to perform rigorous deformation
analysis on two of the world's largest ore concentrators at the Orange
Gold mine in NSW and the Freeport Copper and Gold Mine in Irian Jaya.
Each concentrator is over 20m in diameter.
The S-Mode
photogrammetry system was used to measure each motor in 9 different
states to determine stator-rotor displacement and the dynamic deformation
occurring under various power conditions.
The measurement data was used to design additional
bracing to improve the stiffness of each concentrator.

In In the above image, only two thirds of the rotor is visible, as the
remaining third is housed under the floor. |
