Abstract:
A mining machine including a chassis, an actuator, a cutter drum supported by the chassis, the cutter drum driven by the actuator, a cutter bit coupled to the cutter drum, and a controller. The controller includes a processor and memory and is configured to measure a characteristic of the actuator, determine the cutter bit is worn based on the measured characteristic of the actuator, and output a signal when the cutter bit is determined to be worn.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of detecting wear of a cutter bit driven by an actuator of a mining machine having a cutter drum, the method comprising:\n monitoring, via a sensor, a rotational angle of the cutter drum; determining, via a controller, a net cutting force of the mining machine based on the rotational angle of the cutter drum; determining, via the controller, the cutter bit is worn based on the net cutting force of the mining machine; and outputting, from the controller, a signal when the cutter bit is determined to be worn.
