Drilling rigs are one of the most primary equipment of the underground mining industry. Thanks to their application, it was possible to multiply several times obtained metal ore output generated in underground mines. For last several years, the research related to the development of special rigs predisposed to mine narrow vein deposits are conducted. Dynamic testing of one of such structures are discussed in the paper. The dynamic tests of the rig have been carried out in two ways - either as a real construction s...

The article presents the results of asymmetrical disk tools laboratory tests. This type of mining tools can be used for mechanical mining of hard rocks, among others in the solution of innovative roadheader head, presented on SGEM conference in 2016. The study was conducted at a dedicated laboratory stand, with an installed drive power of 80 kW. Stand consists of rotating rock sample, mined by special plate equipped with asymmetrical disk tools. The rock is mined using undercutting technique, also known as Wohlemy...

Great problem of mechanical hard rock mining is low durability of mining tools. In Department of Mining, Dressing and Transport Machines, AGH UST in Cracow new solutions of mining tools and their holders were developed. In paper, a special tool to replace traditional rotary pick (so called crown-shaped pick), new lubricated holder for rotary-tangential picks, asymmetrical disc cutters, results of laboratory, field and industrial tests were described. Crown-shaped pick has the same type of handle as standard soluti...
