q
The most suitable digging angle for the shank is when the
shank is perpendicular to the ground surface (angle at tip:
45° - 50°).
q
For comparatively soft rock (seismic velocity: 1200m/s or
below), it is also possible to carry out ripping with the shank
tilted to the rear (maximum ripping angle).
q
On comparatively hard bedrock, if ripping is carried out
with the shank tilted back, there will be excessive wear of
the tip of the point (A), and this will reduce the effective-
ness of the self-sharpening ability.
q
During ripping operations, if the track starts to slip when
ripping boulders or rock that is difficult to rip, use the tilt cyl-
inder.
q
Selecting a suitable ripper point to match the type of rock is
extremely important to obtain effective ripping.
A variety of ripper points to match each type of rock is
available, so use the information in “PROCEDURE FOR
SELECTING RIPPER POINT (6-6)“ to select the most suit-
able ripper point.
DIGGING UP BOULDERS OR ROCKBED
3
When ripping boulders and rockbed that are difficult to rip, if the
track slips or the travel speed becomes slower, operate the tilt
cylinder to lift up the boulder or rockbed.
