Brakes and controls for underground conveying system in Mongolia www.australianmining.com.au

SUR Engineering relies on German manufacturer Dellner Bubenzer to service the mining industry with brake systems and monitoring technology.
Dellner Bubenzer recently supplied brakes for three 7100 tonnes per hour conveying systems, each with an installed power of two 5500 kW gearless drives, for a copper mine in Mongolia.
The scope of supply was including floating calliper brakes SFR50, brake discs, hydraulic power units, UPS, BCC3000 closed loop control systems as well as the complete encoder technology.
The main parameters of the brake like pad wear, stroke (air gap) and brake pad temperature are continuously monitored.
The brakes stop the conveyor within 10 seconds in loaded or unloaded condition. Depending on the parameter, like load, speed etc., the HPU and control unit provide different braking levels and scenarios.
The controlled braking process minimises the conveyor belt tension and reduces stresses in the connected equipment. The system is also able to perform the pre-programmed ramps and stopping curves after a power outage.
Redundant controls and HPUs guarantee highest system availability. The environmental conditions need a compact set-up of the brake units. The spring applied, hydraulically released, fail-safe brakes are able to equalise axial movement of the connected shafts.

Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport signed 13 contracts totaling $1.2 billion on the sidelines of the MAKS 2021 international air show, the company’s CEO Alexander Mikheyev told reporters.
“Rosoboronexport used the MAKS 2021 potential to its maximum," Mikheyev said.
The list of deals includes orders for the Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jet, the Mi-35M and Mi-17B5 helicopters, Protivnik-GE radars, Verba surface-to-air missile (SAM) MANPADS and a variety of modern air defense weapons and armored vehicles.
According to Mikheyev, the company used the air show to demonstrate its most advanced models of aircraft, helicopters, anti-aircraft and electronic warfare equipment, to more than 30 delegations from 20 countries, mostly from the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
“During negotiations at MAKS 2021, the company's foreign partners showed interest in purchasing MiG-35D and Su-30SME fighters, Il-76MD-90A (E) military transport aircraft, Il-78MK-90A tanker aircraft, the Mi 28NE, Ka-52 , Mi-171Sh and Ka-226T helicopters, as well as air defense systems, including the Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system,” he specified.
Mikheyev also noted that international partners showed interest in Russia’s newest supersonic stealth fighter Checkmate, which was unveiled at MAKS-2021.
“A number of partners saw it live and were even given the opportunity to sit in the cockpit, and were highly impressed,” the CEO recalled.
The single-engine supersonic stealth fighter Checkmate is scheduled for its first test flight in 2023, with further prototypes being produced through 2025 and serial production set to launch in 2026.

Mongolian sumo wrestler Terunofuji G.Gan-Erdene promoted to Yokozuna www.montsame.mn

Mongolian sumo wrestler Terunofuji G.Gan-Erdene was officially named sumo’s 73rd Yokozuna, the sport’s highest rank, today.
The decision was unanimously made by the Board of Directors of the Japan Sumo Association during its extraordinary meeting held today.
The 29-year-old Mongolian sumo wrestler Terunofuji G.Gan-Erdene won his first-ever title at the 2015 Summer Grand Sumo Tournament, securing his first promotion to Ozeki. However, he demoted from the rank and dropped down to a lower division as his knee injuries prominently affected his performances. He earned back his Ozeki title in about two years by continuously climbing through the rankings.
He finished the recent Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament with a 14-1 record.
With the decision, he becomes the first wrestler in four-and-a-half years to be promoted to Yokozuna, following Kisenosato, who has retired.

Olympics: Tokyo 2020 chief does not rule out cancelling Games www.bbc.com

The head of the Tokyo 2020 organising committee has not ruled out cancelling the Olympic Games.
Toshiro Muto said he would keep an eye on infection numbers and hold "discussions" if necessary.
More than 70 people associated with the Games have tested positive ahead of Friday's opening ceremony.
His comments came on the same day International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach said cancellation was "never an option".
Earlier this month, Japan announced the Games would go ahead in empty stadiums - despite growing concern over the Covid situation.
"We will continue discussions if there is a spike in cases," said Mr Muto when asked at a press conference if the Games might be cancelled even at this late stage.
"At this point, the coronavirus cases may rise or fall, so we will think about what we should do when the situation arises."
Although the Games don't officially begin until Friday, the sporting action has kicked off with the women's softball and football competitions starting on Wednesday.
Earlier this week, two South African footballers staying in the athletes' village tested positive for coronavirus. A Czech beach volleyball player later tested positive for the virus.
A total of 71 people accredited for the Tokyo Olympics, including those accredited for the Games, have now tested positive for the virus.
The 2020 Olympics and Paralympics were postponed for a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It's the first delay in the 124-year modern history of the Games.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is due to be held on 23 July, though the first event of the Games - a softball game between Japan and Australia - took place on Wednesday.
The Olympics will end on 8 August, with the Paralympic Games due to start on 24 August and to end on 5 September.
But there has been public anger over coronavirus restrictions.
People in Japan are also concerned about the influx of tens of thousands of people associated with the event and the impact they could have on infection rates.
Host city Tokyo is facing a fresh surge of infections, with 1,387 cases recorded on Tuesday.
Japan is currently under a state of emergency which will be in place until 22 August.
Organisers are "concentrating 100% on delivering successful Games", a Tokyo 2020 spokesperson said after Mr Muto's comments on Tuesday.
