Absolutely. ADDCAR systems are equipped with gamma detection technologies that sense the differing emission rates of coal and rock. This differential is used to calculate the distance between the coal and rock interface in the roof and floor. This information is transmitted to the operator real time so that he can precisely control the miner head to leave the prescribed amount of roof and/or floor coal.
