The bodies represent the key parts of a roadheader boom, : roadheader casing (1), movable part of the turntable (2) and a boom with cutting heads (3), and a seat together with an operator seating on it (4). A movable part of the turntable with a vertical axis of .
Suitability of Brisbane Rock Conditions to Roadheader Excavation by Jody Herley Roadheader excavation has typically been limited in its ability to cut hard rock. Despite this, a number of tunnelling projects being implemented in SouthEast Queensland are utilising roadheaders to excavate sections of the tunnel which pass through the
Aker Wirth raise boring machines and cutters have been in operation in the hardest rock, up to 700MPa USC. The equipment ranges from 112kW to 600kW installed power, the cutting diameters from 1m to 6m and the boring depths up to 1,300m. Aker Wirth built the world's largest raise borer, the HG 380 with an operating torque of max. 710kNm.

MT361 roadheader is an electrohydraulic partface cutting machine designed for roadway development and for coal, rock, gypsum, potash and salt mining. The special attachments and wide array of options, such as an integrated swivel chain conveyor, coupled with high tramming speed for reloion, make it ideal for a variety of mining and tunneling appliions.
ROADHEADERS roadheaders are extremely powerful The machines are in flameproof design, rockcutting machines designed to excavate according to country regulations, including roadways, tunnels and chambers continuously GOST (CIS), ATEX (Europe) and MA (China). without using explosives.
· Mining and Construction has launched a new class of roadheader for tunnelling in medium to hard rock. says the modular design of the MT520 means it can be adapted to a range of conditions, while the 8 m cutting height means it is wellsuited to large road tunnels. Roadheaders are less common in tunnelling than the use of drill ...

In order to save unnecessary excavation and provide better information to the machine operator, VMT has developed a system to support precise excavation of the tunnel profile when using roadheaders or other partial face cutting machines. This paper outlines the principles of this system
MediumDuty Roadheader HEAVYDUTY ROADHEADER: These normally weigh 60te and due to improved weight to power ratio, are able both to with stand machine frame stresses and to increase cutting forces applied to the face of the drivage. It is crawler mounted and a gathering arm loading system feeds a heavy duty conveyor passing through the centre of the machine. A air cooled electric .
partialface machines engage a part of the cutting tools in a single step of excavation, ... Continuous miners, roadheaders, shearers, and others aresome of the main partialface machines. In this contribution, an overall comparison of fullface machines with partialface machines and the conventional drilling and blasting method is conducted ...
Roadheaders are the most widely used underground partialface excavation machines ... when the machine operator is cutting the face, ... and experienced operator. The automation at least of some parts of the complete cutting cycle would provide a more reliable and more userfriendly system.
Both cutting machines, now under development by based SMD, use cutting tools, with the first sea trials now scheduled for mid2013. From Poland, Wojciech Chojnacki from the mining contractor, PeBeKa, reviewed improvements being made to haulage development at the copper producer, KGHM, through a change from drillandblast to continuous mining using roadheaders.
Cutting the StreSS Gear systems specialist Oerlikon Fairfield develops new gearbox for roadheader appliions By Mike BrezonickA ll machines undergo a variety of mechanical stresses as part of their normal duty cycles. Yet there are probably few that face the same level of sheer physical demand as roadheaders. Used mainly in mining and tunnel

The Alpine AM75 Roadheader is a boomtype partface cutting machine, suitable for cutting rock of an unconfined compressive strength of up approx 100 MPa. The high pickup capacity of the loading assembly enables the storage of material so that it is possible to continue with cutting even during the change of shuttle cars.
Partialface Excavation Machine (ø 11,770 mm) with two crossbracing platforms, telescopic face plates in the crown and three flexible excavators. Safe in hard rock. Partialface Excavation Machines with roadheader booms can also be used in geologies with up to 80 MPa compression strength.
This paper proposes a new roadheaderassisted coal cutter (RACC) based on the tensile failure mechanism of coal. An innovative mining method, called the cutting inside and spalling outside mining (CISOM) method, is developed based on this new RACC. The mechanical model is established, and the working mechanism of the new CISOM method is illustrated using a column model and a beam model.
Keywords: roadheader, boom, dynamic model, dynamic loads, vibrations 1. Introduction Roadheaders are the fundamental cutting machines used in mechanised technologies for tunnelling in underground mines and civil engineering. The key process carried out by such type of machine is the cutting of rock deposited in the cross section of the drilled
Roadheaders A roadheader consists of a rotating, cylindrical or spherically shaped head with cutters that claw at a soil or rock face. The machine is normally manoeuvred into position and the removed material is deposited onto a conveyor where it is transported to the rear of .
