Abstract: A method and device for drilling and setting adhesive anchor bolts close to the mine face during the cutting operation of a tunneling or mining machine which is capable of being displaced on a traveling mechanism and includes a cutting cylinder or cutting head rotationally mounted on a cantilever arm pivotable in a vertical direction, and optionally in a horizontal direction. The method is carried out in a manner where the substantially horizontal forward movement of the cantilever arm at break-in cutting is detected and a signal is generated during break-in cutting to block commencement of a working cycle for drilling and anchoring. A controller (16) for excavation of material on the mine face is networked with a controller (15) for actuation of the anchor drilling and setting device (10) via radio, electrical or optical lines (17).

To this end, the control means (16) for the excavation of material on the mine face is networked with the control means (15) for the actuation of the anchor drilling and setting device (10) via radio, electrical or optical lines (17).
