Abstract
Currently, the rate of heading in mines falls short of the capacities of the advanced power-driven machine systems. High-rate mining technology using a robotic travelling module has no parallel and essentially accelerates operation. Determination of operating modes of the module, their checking and visualization is implemented by combining the simulation modeling and computer animation. The models based on specialized software GPSS Studio and Proof Animation enable interactive studies into joint operation of heading machinery and walking powered roof support. The tests provide the estimate of the heading cycle time.
