CONTINUOUS MINING MACHINE WITH OVERLOAD CONTROL DEVICE

摘要

For protecting partial-cut cutting machines from overload, a vibration sensor 7 is provided on the swivellable cutting arm 2 carrying rotatably supported cutting heads 6. The signals of the vibration sensor 7 are utilized in an electronic control 8 and used for controlling the pivotal drive of the cutting arm 2. The electronic control 8 has a threshold switch which is connected with an adjusting drive for varying the supply capacity of the hydraulic pump of the pivotal drive.
