Abstract
The paper proposes a capacitive load cell for detecting changes in material and tool wear conditions for conical picks used in underground mining. The current process is dangerous and subjective, relying on human operators near the cutting interface. The new sensor aims to improve worker safety by allowing operators to perform their functions from a greater distance.
