Taking MG1100/3030-GWD shearers as an example,an adaptive cutting and tracking control system for the shearers was introduced.The system consists of the cutting system and the cutting tracking control model.Among them,the cutting system automatically adjusts the running track,attitude and position of the shearer according to the specific conditions of the working surface,while the cutting tracking control model mainly monitors and controls the whole cutting process.Under the joint action of the two modules,the shearer can operate safely and stably,and realize the efficient production of coal.
