Real-time monitoring data provides valuable insights into TBM performance and cutter wear, enabling proactive adjustments to optimize tunneling operations. By continuously tracking key parameters, patterns can be identified that indicate the rate of cutter wear and potential performance bottlenecks. Monitoring cutterhead torque provides a direct indication of the force required to excavate the rock. A gradual increase in torque suggests that the cutters are becoming dull and require replacement. Thrust force data reveals how much force is being applied to the cutterhead. Analyzing thrust force in relation t....
