STABILIZATION SYSTEM FOR A MINING MACHINE

A mining machine (10) including a frame (14), a cutting head (26) movably coupled to the frame (14) and pivotable about an axis (52) that is substantially perpendicular to the first mine surface, and a first actuator (542) for stabilizing the frame (14) relative to the first mine surface. The first...

Summary:A mining machine (10) including a frame (14), a cutting head (26) movably coupled to the frame (14) and pivotable about an axis (52) that is substantially perpendicular to the first mine surface, and a first actuator (542) for stabilizing the frame (14) relative to the first mine surface. The first actuator (542) is coupled to the frame (14) and includes a first end (598) extendable in a first direction to engage the first mine surface. The extension of the first actuator (542) is automatically controlled based on measurements of at least one indicator of the force between the first actuator (542) and the first mine surface.
