Abstract

Selected problems of designing a new generation automated drilling machine for tunnelling and underground mining work are presented. The requirements needed to build a machine of this class were identified and collected. An original concept of the self-propelled drilling machine was developed. A virtual model of the machine was created and subjected to different numerical cases of loading. FEM strength calculations of the load-bearing structures were carried out. All the machine's work operations have been fully automated. The result is a new original automated drilling machine.
