Maplesoft Engineering Solutions team helps FLSmidth develop revolutionary mining equipment

FLSmidth, a leading supplier of large-scale mining equipment, approached Maplesoft’s Engineering Solutions team to provide a platform for examining the dynamic behaviour of a Lifted Radial Stacker - a complex mechanical machine used for material handling in mines. The Lifted Radial Stacker is an extendable structure that travels on a system of two crawlers. One crawler is stationary and provides the centre of rotation, while the other is driven by an onboard operator. The conveyor system on the structure moves overburden from the mining process to the stockyard.
