Abstract
The presentation devoted to the cutting technology with point attack picks; it demonstrates typical cutting units and cutting machines. Hereby the criteria for a succesful setup of such a mining system are explained. Also the presentation keeps the focus on the assessment and check of cuttability. It describes measurement methods to identify important rock parameters and to evaluate the tool’s perfomance on special test equipment. The assessment of a complete cutting system’s performance is shown by means of on site measurements.
