KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology

The mission of the KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology includes a creation and commercialization of innovative solutions in the scope of mechanical systems, mechatronic systems, environmental protection, control of hazards, work safety and safety of products’ use. The KOMAG activity incorporates scientific and research projects on improvement of mining technology, haulage and processing of minerals. The projects are oriented onto anthropotechnical systems in the aspect of reliability, work safety and comfort. Concepts and technical documentations of innovative solutions of machines and equipment are realized within the projects. Model, laboratory and operational tests contribute to an increase of life and reliability of machines as well as to improvement of work safety and comfort, having a direct impact on an efficiency increase of production and processing of minerals. Specialistic testing services of accredited laboratories, among others, tests of powered roof support units, tests of hydraulic actuating components, environmental tests, tests of safety of products’ use and material engineering tests, play a significant role in the Institute activity. KOMAG certifies machines and equipment in the scope of the ATEX Directive, Machinery Directive on principal requirements for machines, Directive on electrical equipment for use at certain voltage range and Directive on principal requirements for toys. Besides a certification of products, KOMAG certifies management systems.
