The present disclosure relates to a mining machine adapted for extraction of material from a deposit and a method for controlling operation of such a mining machine. According to an embodiment, the mining machine includes a data handling unit and a control unit. The data handling unit is arranged to receive, from an external storage medium, a data file representative of a user-defined cutting path, and to send, to the control unit, data corresponding to a cutting path selected among the user-defined cutting path and one or more machine-predefined cutting paths. The control unit is configured to control operation of the mining machine using an automatic cutting cycle in accordance with the selected cutting path corresponding to the data received from the data handling unit.
A mining machine arranged for extraction of material from a deposit, the mining machine comprising:
A method for controlling operation of a mining machine arranged for extraction of material from a deposit, the method comprising:
A storage medium holding a data file representative of a user-defined cutting path for operating a mining machine, the data file being readable by a software-based control system of said mining machine for further conversion of the data file into the user-defined cutting path and for selection among other cutting paths including one or more machine-predefined cutting paths stored in said software-based control system, wherein said mining machine is operable using an automatic cutting cycle in accordance with the selected cutting path.
