Desempeño de activos – impulsado por valor, innovación y seguridad

Extend the life of critical mining assets, reduce unscheduled downtime and repair the structural integrity of heavy machinery, with Mechatronix composite reinforcements.

Mechatronix delivers engineered composite reinforcement solutions that strengthen, repair and extend the operational life of critical mining and industrial assets.

Designed for fatigue-prone structures operating in demanding environments, the technology enhances and restores structural integrity, reduces asset fatigue and the need for extensive welding. By extending the mean time between failure, maintenance costs are significantly reduced.

Thiess and Mechatronix are partnering to bring composite reinforcements to the mining industry.

Engineered for fatigue-prone assets

Customer engineered reinforcements proven to redistribute stress, reduce fatigue and restore structural integrity.

Lightweight.
High strength.

Carbon fibre composites are approximately five times lighter than steel while delivering exception strength.

Smarter maintenance with in-built intelligence

Embedded sensors provide early fault detection and real-time insights to support proactive maintenance.

Proven in the harshest mining environments

More than 1,000 reinforcements installed with over 130,000 operating hours in service.

#Applications

The technology is effective across a range of steel grades, including mild steel, cast steel, high-tensile structural steels and wear-resistant materials.

Custom designed for every asset, Mechatronix reinforcements are suitable for:

Haul truck chassis and trays
Excavator booms and sticks
Rope shovel structures
Rail wagons
Fixed plant and structural steel
Fatigue-prone machine components
Heavy mobile and stationary mining equipment

#Zero structural reinforcement failures.

Proven performance, independently tested by the University of Queensland.

#Case Studies
