“Probe for the automatic measurement of shaft support and equipment” was awarded the title of Master of Technology of the Katowice Region by Federation of the Scientific Associations - Chief Technical Organization (FSN NOT)

The probe provides automatic measurements of geometry and the deformation level of researched elements of a shaft. The probe is equipped with a position control system that includes spatial orientation and stability control and a system for data recording and analysis.    

The device can be used in an explosive and methane atmosphere of a mine due to its explosion proof casing and an innovative solution - automatic power supply.

The work was developed by the following authors: Wojciech Bochenek, Zbigniew Motyka, Henryk Passia, Adam Ramowski, Tadeusz Smoła, Adam Szade and Mariusz Szot. On 21 October 2016, Dr Adam Szade received the award on behalf of the team. Congratulations.
