OptiDrive AC
Patented Joy OptiDrive AC system integrates software with the electronic and mechanical systems to provide a durable, maneuverable machine.

Enhanced productivity in low- to mid-seam applications with an entry driver with integrated bolting system, enabling simultaneous cutting and bolting. The single-pass machine addresses the bottleneck during gate road development when the roof is weak, requiring early roof bolt installation.
Hydraulic cutter head extensions retract to promote easy withdrawals and flexibility when cutting corners. Wide head cuts up to 16 ft in a single pass. Power at the cutterhead is 656 HP/490 kW for outstanding productivity.
Optimize your operation with actionable insights. Operator assistance tools, automated sequences, advanced diagnostics and machine performance monitoring from the Faceboss Control System.
For quick installation of roof control, one semi-automatic Joy AFX210 roof bolter with tilt capability is fixed at each side of the miner.
To help protect the operator, four hydraulic cylinders stabilize the roof while mining and bolting. Engaged with the push of a button, the cylinders constantly pulse to ensure contact with the roof during bolting. To stabilize the roof while mining and bolting, four hydraulic cylinders constantly pulse to ensure contact with the roof during bolting at the push of a button.
For ease of maintenance, the hydraulic optimization package offers accessibility of components by minimizing hosing, simplifying hose routing and reducing the number of components. This also simplifies the rebuild process.
