Key Product Highlights:

 

① Original technological innovation specifically for steep slopes: A complete customized upgrade addressing industry pain points such as slippage, power attenuation, and chassis deformation in underground tunnels with extremely steep positive and negative angles. The traveling mechanism is equipped with dual 450KN・m ultra-high torque heavy-duty traveling reducers, and matched with widened, thickened, and heightened self-developed toothed track plates. This increases the contact area between the tracks and the bottom plate, and enhances the gripping ability of the tooth surfaces. Even when facing mud, water, gravel, or soft bottom plates, it can firmly lock the machine body, fundamentally preventing equipment slippage and stationary slippage. It eliminates the need for frequent paving stones and bottom plate reinforcement, saving a significant amount of auxiliary construction time.

 

② The entire chassis adopts a double-row M36 high-strength bolt full-area fastening connection structure, evenly distributing the high-frequency impact load from hard rock cutting at multiple points. Even under long-term high-intensity operation, it is less prone to frame loosening, deformation, and cracking. The chassis stability far exceeds that of conventional models, reducing the frequency of failures and major machine overhauls.

 

③ The hydraulic power end is matched with a 200kW high-power oil pump motor and a large-displacement main hydraulic pump set, providing ample flow supply and rapid power transmission response. The multi-mechanism linkage operation of cutting, traveling, and loading is smooth and powerful without any lag. Meanwhile, the equipment is equipped with an exclusively optimized hydraulic oil tank for steep inclines, featuring a redesigned oil circuit layout and anti-disturbance baffles. This completely solves common problems such as hydraulic oil deviation, pump cavitation, and sudden drops in oil pressure when operating on inclines or declines. Under full incline conditions, the oil pressure output remains stable, ensuring uninterrupted power and continuous cutting progress.

 

④ The hard rock cutting assembly is synchronously reinforced for heavy-duty operation, equipped with 48 high-strength patented toothed cutting heads. It employs a composite connection structure of main fastening bolts and three-sided locating pins, distributing the cutting impact load in multiple dimensions. This effectively avoids failures such as single bolt overload fracture and cutting head loosening and detachment, significantly reducing the wear and tear of cutting teeth and connecting bolts, and minimizing spare parts procurement costs and replacement downtime.

 

⑤ The main frame of the machine has been fully upgraded to Q460 high-strength alloy steel, increasing structural strength by 30% compared to traditional Q345 steel. High-frequency wear areas such as the shovel, chute, and cantilever are treated with wear-resistant alloy welding, comprehensively upgrading the machine's impact resistance, fatigue resistance, and wear resistance, significantly extending the equipment's service life and reducing medium- to long-term depreciation costs.

 

⑥ The machine comes standard with a load-sensitive multi-channel hydraulic system, distributing flow as needed and effectively saving energy compared to ordinary models. All moving parts are centrally located for lubrication, eliminating the need for multiple disassemblies during underground maintenance; a single person can quickly complete maintenance, significantly reducing the time spent on routine maintenance.

 

⑦ The machine is equipped with an imported EPEC electronic control system with complete self-diagnostic functions, providing early warning of potential faults and avoiding prolonged downtime due to sudden malfunctions. The IP67 high-protection enclosure is adapted to the harsh underground environment, resulting in a lower failure rate for electrical components.

 

⑧ The equipment supports optional dedicated auxiliary traction devices, which can provide additional traction force in steep slope tunneling, equipment relocation, and muddy floor conditions, further improving the stability and construction safety of steep-angle tunnel operations. This reduces the risk of tunnel slippage and equipment instability accidents.

The operation and maintenance status is clear at a glance, making it convenient and efficient.

Safety Configuration: Standard features include personnel proximity alarm, anti-accidental touch, and emergency stop functions, improving the safety of downhole operations.

Electrical Control System: Utilizes imported EPEC series controllers to construct a dual-redundant human-machine interface system. A distributed control network is formed through the intrinsically safe control box (ExibⅠ certified) and the HMI on the left door of the electrical control box. Integrated LCD Chinese display screen for real-time display: including motor status, real-time voltage, current, winding temperature, hydraulic system oil temperature and level, main inlet water flow of the cooling system, tunneling machine body angle, real-time time, etc.; It also features a fault self-diagnosis engine: built-in 23 types of fault diagnosis algorithms, supporting overcurrent (>120%In), overvoltage (>110%Un), phase loss, stall, and other abnormal detection, and can effectively view historical fault records, with a fault record storage capacity of no less than 999 records. It has an emergency start module: equipped with an industrial-grade matrix keyboard (IP65 protection), supporting manual forced start circuit (requires dual password verification).

Intelligence and Expandability: Future-Oriented

Reserved intelligent module interface, allowing for rapid upgrade to an intelligent tunneling system, adapting to the needs of smart mine construction.
