COAL CUTTING MACHINE

摘要

A cutting machine has at each side of a universally pivotable cutter boom a cutting head which is rotatably supported around an axis extending vertically to the longitudinal direction of the cutter boom and which is advanced in direction of its axis when the cutter boom is pivoted. The cutting heads are propelled by a drive unit via a reduction gearing arranged within the cutter boom, the last stage of the reduction gearing being arranged within cutting heads which are hollow.
