Longwall automation: trends, challenges and opportunities

Coal cut from the longwall face by the shearer is removed by an Armoured Face Conveyor (AFC) that transports coal to the adjoining gateroad for conveyance to the surface [3], [4]. The roof over the working area is supported by hydraulic shields that are advanced towards the freshly cut face according to a well-defined motion configuration.

Longwall mining

Energy. Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically 1-2 m thick). The longwall "panel" (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3-4 km long and 250-400 m wide. Longwall mining produced 176 million tons of coal in 2007, about 15 percent of total U.S. production.
