Computer-aided design of cutting heads
Journal Title: Mining – Informatics, Automation and Electrical Engineering - Year 2015, Vol 524, Issue 4
Abstract
The design of cutting heads is a complex process in which it is necessary to perform multiple recalculations of complicated formulas and to correct the assumptions of input data. The purpose is to provide high efficiency and effectiveness of these tools, along with their durability and reliability during exploitation in difficult mining and geological conditions. The article presents a program, developed by the authors, which enables to design a cutting head with picks or with discs. After the input data are entered and the calculation process is completed, the program presents in a graphic manner the distribution of cutting tools on the head and the distribution of cut slices generated by the designed head. The program enables to determine the forces and torques which act on a single cutting tool, as well as the forces and torques which are reduced at the end of the head shaft.
