Wagon frame with track frames


The diesel engine, chassis, dust collector, hydraulic system, air system and boom sys-
tem are mounted on the wagon frame.

The wagon frame comprises a frame with operator's cab/operator's platform mounted
on the left. Controls for tramming and drilling are installed in the operator's cab/oper-
ator's platform.

17
Operator’s instructions
1. General

The track frames are carried on journals in the wagon frame. When tramming on une-
ven ground the drill rig is balanced by means of two compensating cylinders.

Each track frame has its own service brake. The brakes are operated by two separate
control systems.

The bodywork covers the diesel engine, the compressor, the various lubrication
tanks, the valves and the hydraulic hoses. Inspection covers allow easy access to the
various machine components. The covers are secured in the open position by means
of gas springs.

The dust collector is mounted at the back of the rig on the right-hand side.

Power pack
This hydraulic drill rig is powered by a turbocharged, water-cooled diesel engine.

The diesel engine is equipped with a monitoring system that includes automatic shut-
down functions.

The drill rig is driven by two traction motors with gears. The traction motors with
gears are mounted on the track frames.

The hydraulic pumps and the compressor are driven by a diesel engine.

Boom system
The boom system consists of inner/outer boom bodies, boom head, feed holder and
associated hydraulic cylinders. The boom system is controlled by directional valves
for positioning the feed with the rock drill at different distances and directions.

Dust collector
The hydraulically driven dust collector features automatic cleaning and consists of a
filter unit, pre-separator, suction fan and suction hose.

Electrical system
The 24 volt electrical system is supplied by an alternating current generator and four
batteries.

Two batteries are isolated on starting to supply the control system with 24 volts.

The electrical system consists of the starter, work lighting, electric controls, electric
control system, electro-hydraulic circuits and safety devices.

18
Operator’s instructions
1. General

The electrical control system includes control modules, I/O modules, application
modules, switches, resistors and diodes.

The emergency stop buttons/cables are connected in series with the diesel engine cut-
out system. As soon as an emergency stop button/cable is activated, the diesel engine
will be stopped immediately. Reset the emergency stop buttons before restarting the
engine. The engine cannot be started while one of the emergency stops is still acti-
vated.

For further details, see separate wiring diagram.

For details of the diesel engine, see separate diesel engine instructions.

Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system consists of six hydraulic pumps, oil cooler, hydraulic oil tank,
valves, hoses, etc.

The six hydraulic pumps provide hydraulic pressure as follows:

Table:
Pump no. Description
1 Drill feed, rapid feed, impact, traction motors
2 Rotation, preheating
3 Dust collector
4 Cylinder positioning
5 Cooler motor-diesel engine

Air system
The air system consists of the compressor with oil separator, hoses and valves. The
compressor is driven directly by the diesel engine.

The compressor element is lubricated by an air-oil mixture. The mixture is separated


in the oil separator.

The system supplies air for flushing the drill hole, cleaning the dust collector filter
and for the rock drill's ECL and ECG (option) lubricating systems for oiling the drill
steel threads.

Safety

WARNING
• Risk of tipping/sliding
• May cause severe personal injury and
damage to property
• Always check the prevailing ground
conditions where the rig shall be
operated
• Keep the track oscillation pedals open
during tramming
• Inclination angles for Downward/Upward/
Lateral CANNOT be combined with each
other
• Do not exceed the incline angles. See
Technical data
• Note the gradient meters' values
• Never operate the drill rig from the down
side during remote control operation
• Close the cab door and always use the
safety belt
• Always ensure that unauthorised
personnel are outside the working area

WARNING
• Danger of high-voltage cables
• May cause serious personal injury and
damage to property
• Keep away from high-voltage cables

62
Operator’s instructions

CAUTION
• Note that worn track shoes reduce the
friction with the ground considerably and
consequently increase the risk of sliding

Operation

N.B.

Note
When the drill rig reverses, a horn sounds and a warning lamp comes on.

Note
If one crawler track is operated while the other is stationary the tracks are sub-
jected to unnecessary stresses and this should therefore be avoided.

6. Use the buttons for track oscillation to position the rig as horizontal as possible.
Buttons (17), (18), (19), (20) and (21).

7. Use the boom system to optimise the stability of the drill rig (See chapter: General
principles of tramming).

Checking after tramming


All emergency stop wires and all emergency stops must be checked after tramming.

Tramming - General principles

Tramming, general
Direct the boom system straight ahead, contract the boom and position the feeder
against the outer boom before opening the track oscillation lock.

While tramming, the track oscillation lock must be open so that the caterpillar tracks
can move freely whenever there is a change in terrain. Use track oscillation to keep
the chassis frame as horizontal as possible.

Adapt the speed to the terrain. Always check the terrain where the drill rig will be
manoeuvred.

Using the winch when tramming

WARNING
• Risk from tipping and moving parts
• May cause serious personal injury and
damage to property
• Ensure that unauthorised personnel are
outside of the working area
• Never use the winch with less than three
turns of cable left.

WARNING
• Risk from tipping and cable failure
• May cause serious personal injury and
damage to property
• The anchorage point must be firm and
secure (pay attention to local regulations)
• The safety hook must not be able to slide
or detach from its attachment point
• A damaged cable or hook must not be
used
• Check that the winch locking mechanism
is fully engaged in the drum before use,
following the attachment of the cable eye
on the anchorage point

General
The winch can be used as an additional safety feature, either to provide extra tractive
effort when tramming up or down a slippery slope or as an extra brake when tram-
ming down an incline.

Note
The winch should not be used for any other purpose.
The winch can only be operated from the remote control box.

• Hole length/Depth : Select method of measurement.


• RPCF : RPCF can be selected as active or inactive here (normal setting is active).
This function means that increased rotation pressure will automatically lower the
feed pressure.
• Use System Internal RPCF-Factor : Activate this function by selecting on.
This means that together with the above the system will calculate when the feed
must be reduced in order to maintain the correct rotation pressure (RPCF) and
when the anti-jamming system should be activated. Normally always on.
• Anti-jamming protection : Select anti-jamming protection active or inactive.
Normally set to active. If inactive, the drilling system will have no way of detect-
ing if the rotation pressure is too high and therefore increase the risk of jamming
the drill string.
• Use TAC tube (option): Deactivates the drill-steel support for the first rod so
that TAC tube can be used.
• Automatic Break Loose : Automatic break loose can be set here so that the
function can be disengaged for single-rod drilling.

Monitor drilling performance and pay particular attention to the points below:

Should anything out of the ordinary occur, stop drilling and clear up the trouble or
ask service personnel to investigate.

1. Rock drill :

• Abnormal impact hose vibration.


- Check the pressure in the rock drill accumulators.

• Check that the shank adapter is sufficiently lubricated.


- Lubricating oil/air should leak out from the shank adapter. Lubricating oil
pressure should be 2 - 10 bar on the ECL pressure gauge.

• Abnormal leakage from the rock drill.


• Note that the shank adapter has a “float position”, i.e. it is pressed out about 4-
6 mm from the frame.
• If damper pressure is lower than 35 bar or higher than 120 bar, percussion will
stop automatically ( For drill rig COP 1800/2100/2500 series )
- Stop drilling immediately and ask service personnel to investigate.

99

7. Drilling

High coupling sleeve temperature


Note
Coupling sleeve temperature must not exceed 120 ºC (248 ºF).

1. Excessive coupling sleeve temperature is indicated by:

a. Measuring with a thermometer

b. Oil dripping from the rock drill vaporises on the coupling sleeve

c. The coupling sleeve changes colour

2. Depending on the layers of the rock, temperature can vary even within a small
area. High coupling sleeve temperature is usually due to a poor relationship
between drill feed pressure, percussion pressure and rotation pressure. The follow-
ing solutions are recommended to reduce coupling sleeve temperature.

a. Check the condition of the drill bit. An overdrilled bit gives less torque in the
coupling sleeve.

Grind the drill bit.

b. Change to a drill bit with ballistic buttons.

c. If the rock is too hard for ballistic bits, then...

reduce rotation speed as much as possible without causing the drill string to
rotate jerkily

check the drill feed pressure and set it to the recommended value

Reduce percussion pressure to below the basic setting (5-10 bar). A reasonable
reduction in penetration rate must be accepted.

d. Check and/or adjust damper pressure so that the shank adapter is in “float posi-
tion”

Difficulties in loosening the coupling sleeve


The best method of loosening the coupling sleeve is to “drill” the last few centimetres
without feed pressure and rotation, leaving percussion active for a few seconds to
break loose the coupling sleeve.

• Make sure the RPC-F system is set correctly. An RPC-F system that is set too high
causes excessive torque in the coupling sleeve.

7. Drilling

Hole deflection
1. Try to drill with as low a drill feed pressure as possible

2. Check the condition of the drill bit

3. Use TAC pipes, drop centre bits.

4. Drill the first drill steel with reduced drilling for at least half of the drill steel in
order to minimise hole deflection at the start of the hole.

8. Angle instruments

Angle, depth and laser instrument


Depending on the equipment level chosen, the drill rig can be equipped with one of
the following alternatives:

• Angle and depth measurement instruments with sight.


• Angle, depth and laser plane instruments with sight.

In all cases, the system consists of a number of sensors in the cab and boom - feed
system. The sensors are connected to the I/O unit and the LCD display through CAN
BUS communication. The system is presented and operated from the cab's LCD dis-
play.

These instructions cover the complete instrument with all available options. If the
drill rig has fewer pieces of equipment, only the relevant sections need to be studied.

Angle instrument with sight


This drill rig is equipped with an electronic angle indication system consisting of an
angle sensor on the boom and feeder, sight and graphic presentation on an LCD dis-
play. The sight makes it possible to drill parallel holes by selecting a reference point
before the first hole is drilled. This reference point is then maintained throughout the
entire round or as long as the direction of movement is the same. By turning the sight
back to the same reference point the entire time regardless of how the rig travels, the
instrument calculates how the feed inclination must be changed to maintain the same
direction of movement. The angle sensor on the boom mounting allows the instru-
ment to compensate for the turning of the boom the same way as when the sight is
turned.

Angle instrument menu


The angle instrument is accessed by pressing button F4 in the left-hand edge of the
display. These four buttons always provide direct access to the respective function,
i.e. you do not need to use the ESC key to go back to the main menu to select them.

Calibration
To calibrate this instrument after repair of spare parts replacement, the sight must be
set straight ahead at 90º to the cab windscreen. The boom must then be positioned
parallel to the cab so that the sight and the boom are parallel to each other for adjust-
ment.

The feed beam should be adjusted to vertical position using a spirit level on the tilt
and feed swing axes.

After completing all these preparations, the following menu under Positioning/Sen-
sors should be used.

112
Operator’s instructions
8. Angle instruments

Figure: Calibration menu.

Note
In order to make these settings, you must log in using the service code.

This menu is accessed from the “Sensors” heading and is for calibrating the sensors
for the sight, boom swing, feed tilt and feed swing. The K-value, i.e. the camber of
the curve, is a fixed value and must not be adjusted or changed.

• Fixed K-values are for:


- Feed swing -0.001
However, the offset value should be changed so that the system will be able to
reproduce the correct information value in the different menu screens. I.e. in
this case where all the angles are zero, the value to the right of the offset box
should also be zero when calibration is complete.
- Feed dump -0.001
- Boom swing 0.088
- Sight 0.332
Note
Once calibration is complete, make sure the new settings are saved to a PC card
where all the parameters are saved or the old settings will remain on the PC card
if the software is ever reloaded.

• Calibration:

113
Operator’s instructions
8. Angle instruments

- Move the cursor to the correct box for calibration using the arrow keys and
confirm with enter.
- Reset by pressing enter on the box under the Calibrate heading.
- Use ESC to go back in the system.

Depth measuring system


To keep control of the drill length, drill metres and penetration rate, there is a drill
length sensor available. The drill length sensor is mounted on the side of the feed
beam and is connected to the display via an I/O module together with the other com-
ponents in the system. The drill length instrument can be configured to show either
the actual drilled length, hole length measurement, or the vertical depth, vertical
depth measurement. In the latter case, the instrument will take into account the incli-
nation of the hole and the displayed value will consequently be less than the actual
drilled length.

Depth measurement menu


The length instrument is accessed by pressing button F1 in the left-hand edge of the
display. This provides direct access to the drilled length instrument menu.

Figure: Direct selection menu - F1.

The method of depth indication can be chosen from direct selection menu F2.

Current drilled length: Shows the drilled length of the hole in progress after the
counter has been reset in accordance with (4).

4. Current hole depth/Penetration rate: The upper value represents the attained
drill length in the current hole since the counter was zeroed and the lower value
represents the penetration rate during current drilling. During autodrilling, the
average penetration rate of the latest rod is shown. After resetting the counter, the
average penetration rate for the previous hole is shown.

Figure: Current hole length/Penetration rate.

Laser plane instrument


Additional to the drill length instrument, there is also the possibility of using a laser
plane as a reference level instead of the local ground level with the help of a laser
beacon and a receiver on the rig. This requires the distance between the drill bit and
the laser receiver being specified when the instrument is installed (see section "Cali-
bration"). Once the laser receiver on the rock drill cradle has passed the laser plane,
the displayed drill length will be relative to the laser plane instead of ground level.
The displayed drill length will then "jump" to the pre-programmed value and then
continue measuring from there. The laser beacon must be placed in such a way that
there is a free line of sight between the beacon and the receiver on the rig.

The rig has also the possibility of using several laser planes. The distance to the ref-
erence plane, which is the top laser plane, is then set in the box for distance to refer-
ence laser plane.

Laser menu
The laser plane function is activated in “Direct selection menu - F2" and the function
is indicated in the display's status bar.

117
Operator’s instructions
8. Angle instruments

Figure: Direct selection menu - F2.

1. Activation of laser plane function: Highlight the field by stepping through with
the arrow keys until the button turns blue and then press enter to open the active
field, choose on/off and confirm the selection with enter.

Figure: Laser plane indication

2. Laser plane function indication: The indicator is lit in the status field of the dis-
play when the function is active. Once the laser receiver has registered the laser
plane, the indicator will change colour from grey to green and the drilled length
value will then be calculated from the laser plane level.

Operation
1. Move the drill rig to the drill site and set it in the desired position.

2. Select a reference point and turn the sight so that the arrow points towards the ref-
erence point. The reference point should be as far away as possible (at least 2 km)
if it does not lie in direct line with the row of holes in order to minimise angle
error. If the reference point lies in line with the row of holes, it can be as close as
10 m from the last hole of the row without any angle errors arising.

3. Set the desired hole inclination front/back or left/right.

118
Operator’s instructions
8. Angle instruments

4. Position the feed beam so that the red line in the graphic is reduced to a red dot in
the centre. Once this has occurred, the desired angle value is the same as the actual
value.

Figure: Positioning using the angle instrument.


5. Press the feeder spike against the ground by using the feed extension.

6. Set the desired hole length / vertical depth in the hole length instrument's menu if
automatic drill stop is to be used.

7. Activate the laser plane function if a laser reference is to be used.

8. Place the drill bit on the ground and reset the length measurement with F1 or F4.
This reset should be done even if the laser plane function is used.

9. Drill until the preset depth has been reached and drilling stops automatically or
drill until the desired drilled length is shown in the drilled length menu and switch
off drilling manually.

10. Pull up the drill string and move the rig to the next hole or turn the boom to the
next hole if it has sufficient reach.

11. If the rig is moved, the sight should be turned until it is aligned with the reference
point. The instrument will then take the rig's new position into consideration to
make the next hole parallel to the previous one. If additional holes can be drilled
without changing the set-up, the sight does not have to be adjusted.

12. Repeat steps 4-11.

153
Operator’s instructions
9. Options

What is a progressive lubricant distributor?


The word “progressive” comes from the special way this type of lubricant distributor
works, e.g. it is the lubricant that is pressurised and then drives the pistons inside the
distributor. The pistons move in a predetermined manner and this pattern of move-
ment is repeated over and over again. Each piston must complete its movement
before the next piston can move, regardless of whether the flow of lubricant is con-
stant or irregular. The pistons are dependent on one another and it is technically
impossible for a connected lubrication point to be skipped.

Progressive lubricant distributor, type SSV


• Have pistons as the only moving part, i.e. no springs, balls or gaskets that can
break
• Reliably distributes lubricant to the connected lubrication points
• Gives 0.2 cm 3 lubricant per output and piston stroke
• Can be plugged to obtain double, triple, etc. the amount per output (see “Plugging
the outlet”)
• Can have 6 to 22 outputs
• Makes it possible to connect several lubrication points to one lubrication area.

Flow in the distributor


• The following 5 illustrations show what happens inside the distributor step by
step.

Note
For purposes of simplification, lubricant distribution to outputs 2, 7, 5, 3 and 1 are
shown. The other outputs receive their amounts in order, but are not shown here.

Step 1
• Lubricant enters the distributor and then follows the direction of the arrow to the
right-hand end of piston A
• The pressure of the lubricant presses piston A to the left. The lubricant in front of
the left-hand end of the piston is pressed out through output 2.

154
Operator’s instructions
9. Options

Figure: Fig. 18 - Step 1, D=output 2

Step 2
• When piston A has reached its left end position, a channel opens to the right-hand
end of piston B.
• The lubricant moves in the direction of the arrow and moves piston B to the left.
The lubricant in front of the left-hand end is pressed out through output 7.

Figure: Fig. 19 - Step 2, A=output 7

Step 3
• When piston B has reached its left end position, a channel opens to the right-hand
end of piston C
• The lubricant moves in the direction of the arrow and moves piston C to the left.
The lubricant in front of the left-hand end is pressed out through output 5.

155
Operator’s instructions
9. Options

Figure: Fig. 20 - Step 3 B=output 5

Step 4
• The channel to the right-hand end of piston D is now open.
• The lubricant presses piston D to the left. The lubricant in front of the left-hand
end of the piston is pressed out through output 3.

Figure: Fig. 21 - Step 4, D=output 1

Step 5
• Piston D opens the channel to the left-hand side of piston A.
• The lubricant presses the piston to the right. The lubricant in front of the piston is
pressed out through output 1.
• Pistons B to D are then moved in order from left to right.
• A complete lubrication cycle has now been completed and will begin again.

156
Operator’s instructions
9. Options

Figure: Fig. 22 - Step 5, D=output 1

When lubricant flow has been interrupted


• The pistons stop
• No lubricant reaches the lubrication points
• When the flow starts again, the pistons begin to move from the exact spot they
stopped.

Functionality check
• The primary distributor (Fig. 23) and secondary distributors are connected with
main lines (G). The pump is connected to the primary distributor.
• If a piston in any of the blocks gets jammed or if an output is blocked, the lubri-
cant distributor will stop.
• Thanks to the design of the system, a blockage in the primary distributor will
propagate and the entire lubrication system will stop (all pistons in all distributors
stand still).
• The simple design also ensures that a blocked lubrication point is never forgotten.
• Since the pump is still pumping out lubricant and the distributors have stopped,
the lubricant must go somewhere. Pressure in the system increases and the block
becomes apparent when lubricant leaks from the safety valve (Fig. 25).

• Lubricant distributors can be equipped with an indicator pin. The pin is secured in
the end of a piston and follows its movements.
• When the system is blocked, the pin also stops.

• The pump's safety valve is used to check the entire lubrication system. If the pump
is working and lubricant leaks from the valve, there is a stop in the system.

Note
For distributors SSV 6 to SSV 12, you must never use plugs in outputs 1 and/or 2. For
distributors SSV 14 to SSV 22, you must never use plugs in the outputs with the high-
est number. Should one of these outputs be plugged, the entire distributor will become
blocked.

Single amount of lubricant


• The single amount of lubricant is the amount that comes from one output with one
piston stroke. The amount is 0.2 cm 3

Outputs linked in series


• If any of the lubrication points require more lubricant, one or more outputs can be
plugged.
• In Fig. 28, output 10 is plugged. The amount of lubricant that should have come
out here goes through the connection channel and out through output 8.
• Total amount in output 8:

Operation
Lubrication is regulated with a switch that is described in the chapter, Controls.

• During normal use, the system will operate automatically. The grease pump will
then operate when the rod handling lever is in position to move a rod to the drill
centre. This means that each time a rod is moved out from the carousel, a certain
amount of grease will be pumped to the brushes that the rod threads subsequently
pass.
• If it is necessary to pump more grease to the brushes, the system can be operated
manually. The grease pump will then be active as long as the switch for greasing is
held in MANUAL position.

With button 2 (fully open valves) the amount of water is controlled only with the
cock (J) on the water mist system. The cock is normally set so that water mist comes
from the drill bit.

With button 1 (only the preset valve circuit open) the water mist system can be more
finely adjusted with the valve (F) on the water mist system. This means that two dif-
ferent mixes of water can be obtained.

• The water tank must be filled with pure water and possibly dust binding additive
through the filler valve on top of the tank (A).
• The tank can be drained through the valve on the bottom of the tank (B).
• The water supply from the tank can be turned off during maintenance work on the
system using the valve (5).
• Normally, a small amount of water is used to dampen the drill dust and bind it into
larger particles for dust binding or to build up the wall of the hole. In this case the
system must be in AUTO position.
• If it is necessary to add a large amount of water, e.g. if a mud pocket is hit, the sys-
tem can be set to MANUAL.
• If there is no need to add any water, the system can be turned off completely.

To avoid clogging suction hoses and filters, the DCT should be turned off if the dust
is moist or if water is washing up out of a hole.

When the compressor discharges or the engine is turned off, the air pressure in the
tank will automatically evacuate through the blow-down valve (4).

If there is a risk of freezing, the tank should be emptied and the system flushed with
anti-freeze before leaving the rig overnight or for the weekend.

The filter (6) should be regularly dismantled and cleaned.

Setting

WARNING
• Never carry out maintenance work while
the drill rig is in operation
• Make sure that the hydraulic, water and
air systems are depressurised and that
the electrical system is without current
before starting any work

The system has two possible settings:

• Basic setting with shut-off valve (5). To set the amount of water when the system
is run in MANUAL, the shut-off valve can be closed slightly.
• Setting water mist. In AUTO, the amount of water can be set with the needle valve
(7).

Note that there is a certain delay after activating the water mist before the water
emerges from the drill bit.
