Abstract:
A method of monitoring a longwall shearing mining machine in a longwall mining system, wherein the shearing mining machine includes a shearer having a first cutter drum and a second cutter drum, includes receiving, by a processor, shearer position data over a shear cycle. The horizon profile data includes information regarding at least one of the group comprising of a position and angle of the shearer, a position of the first cutter drum, and a position of the second cutter drum. The method also includes analyzing the shearer position data, by the processor, to determine whether a position failure occurred during the shear cycle based on whether the computed horizon profile data was within normal operational parameters during the shear cycle, and generating an alert upon determining that the position failure occurred during the shear cycle.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of monitoring a longwall shearing mining machine in a longwall mining system, the shearing mining machine including a shearer having a first cutter drum and a second cutter drum, the method comprising:\n receiving, by an electronic processor, shearer position data including information obtained from sensors regarding at least one of a group consisting of a position of the shearer, a position of the first cutter drum, and a position of the second cutter drum; identifying, by the electronic processor, from the shearer position data, profile data obtained over a shear cycle including a plurality of pan lengths; for each pan length of the plurality of pan lengths in the shear cycle, analyzing the profile data, by the electronic processor, to determine whether a parameter is outside of a normal operating range for the each pan length; and generating an alert in response to determining, via the analyzing of the profile data, that the parameter is outside of the normal operating range for one of the plurality of pan lengths.
