Cutter thrust measuring device

This method is to measure the pressure of thrust (auxiliary) jack with cutter torque,
and estimate the thrust on cutter head.

working torque (1) structure

PL
Pressures of thrust jack and aux.
control signal jack are transmitted to PLC
pressure signal
Cutter torque is also iransmitted to
PLC.
friction Ff friction Fr
(2) function
F2 PLC calculates the estimation of
C/H thrust
F1 C/H thrust from jack pressures
and cutter torque.
( Cutter thrust load can be roughly
estimated from cutter torque.)

(3) laboratory test results

MHI has tested these measuring mechanism in labolratory .
Its summary is shown .
