Abstract: In order to realize scientization, intelligentization and rapidity of equipment selection in complex geological conditions of working face, a set of mining equipment selection criterion was summarized according to field experience and statistical data, which made the criterion more quantitative, and equipment selection system was designed using LabVIEW. The system can select reasonable equipments to adapt to working face conditions by calling equipment database. The comparing results of system selection and artificial selection results show that the system selection results are more comprehensive, fast, accurate and effective.
