PV-351
Specifications

The Atlas Copco Pit Viper 351 utilizes an excavator-type undercarriage, driven directly by a planetary
gear system and two hydraulic motors. Tram controller is designed so that if the hand is removed from the
controllers they will return to neutral, cease rig movement and brakes will be applied.
A “walking beam” oscillation yoke allows the rig to propel over uneven ground while reducing torsional
stresses on the main frame. Both tracks are individually controlled, and act as an independent unit. The
tracks are hydraulically adjustable with a spring recoil system. Side frames on the tracks have been
designed by Atlas Copco and are designed specifically for the operation of our drills.

TOWER , CAROUSEL AND DRILL ROD HANDLING
PV-351
Specifications
The PV-351 tower is constructed of welded rectangular steel tubing, and is designed to last for the
entire life of the machine (standard warranty applies). Atlas Copco has the tower welded by certified
welders in a special rollover fixture that provides optimum welds. The PV-351 tower is a single-pass
tower, with a carousel type drill rod changer is part of the assembly. The carousel is located on the
inside of the tower frame. The tower is raised and lowered by two hydraulic cylinders. Raising the tower
to the vertical positional with a full complement of drill rod in the carousel and with the rotary head at the
top of the tower (live-tower), can be accomplished in less than one minute. Tower pinning is remotely
preformed from within the operator’s cab.

TOWER , CAROUSEL AND DRILL ROD HANDLING
PV-351
Specifications
Extra drill rods are stored in the carousel-type rod changer capable of holding up to two drill rods. Hydraulic
cylinders swing the carousel into and out from the loading position under the rotary head. A hydraulic cylinder
indexes the carousel to the first or second cup under the rotary head. A “No Bump” protection feature is
standard to limit rotary head feed pressure in the event that the rod changer is not moved out of the loading
position.
The PV-351 has an internal carousel that is located within the tower structure. An exclusive “key lock”
carousel design securely locks in the drill rod at the top of the carousel (carousel cups lock the rods at the
bottom of the carousel) to ensure maximum safety for drill rod storage and changing.
Drill rod changing is accomplished from the operator’s console. A hydraulic positioned sliding fork wrench is
used to break the joint with limited impact that minimizes shock loads on the tower, carousel, rotary head and
feed components. An auxiliary wrench is provided standard on the PV-351 to assist in breaking the rod loose
in addition to the primary breakout device, the sliding fork wrench.
Drill rods can be handled by a 12,000 pound (5,440 kg) auxiliary hoist/winch that comes standard on the rig.
This hoist is located on the back of the tower, and the hook and headache ball are run over sheaves at the
crown, and are stored at the tower bottom.

On the PV-351, a hydraulically operated rod support arm is standard to assist in aligning the drill rod
while rod changing, and stabilizes the drill string while both vertical and angle drilling. There are
interlocks within the tower feed system to prevent damage to the rotary head and the rod support
while the head is in motion. The rod support arm automatically opens its jaws, and swings to a
retracted position while the rotary head is traveling down. Conversely while the rotary head has
reached a safe position and is traveling up the tower, the rod support automatically swings in and
engages its jaws around the drill rod.
The rod catcher assists in preventing rods from falling out, and is provided standard on the drill.

FEED SYSTEM
PV-351
Specifications
The PV-351 has an Atlas Copco patented feed system. The feed system has two feed cylinders. Each
feed cylinder is a double rod- double piston, double acting cylinder. High strength steel cables are
utilized for both pulldown and pullback functions. They are connected to the rotary head and run over
the top and bottom of the carriage assemblies to adjustable anchors at both the crown and base of the
tower. When the carriage structure moves up and down the tower, the powerhead moves in the opposite
direction of the feed sheave guides, at 2:1 ratio. If the cylinders move up 2 feet, the head moves down 4
feet. etc.
The use of the cable feed system provides two advantages over mechanical (chain or rack and pinion)
feed systems. It allows an overall weight reduction in the tower and feed system, along with easier wear
detection. The only drawback of the cable feed system is that the cables tend to stretch. In order to
compensate for this Atlas Copco has developed a hydraulic cable tensioning system.
The patented hydraulic tensioning system uses independently adjustable jack screws on the pulldown
cables and two cylinders to keep the constant tension on the pullback cables. This systems assists with
accurate rotary head alignment (rod support must be used for exact tool joint alignment).. This also
improves machine down time, since maintenance is not needed to shutdown the machine and physically
tighten the cables. Use of this system also improves the overall life of the cables.

Also enclosed in the electric motor starter is the General Electric “369” motor management relay. The
motor management relay is designed to provide complete protection and display of fault and trip
messages. The proven GE 369 relay also has a “Start Inhibit” programming which only allows for the
correct number of starts in an allocated time that the motor is rated for. The 369 also monitors values
such as motor inrush current, FLA, winding and bearing temperatures, cooling rates and acceleration
time, and may be used to improve the 369’s protective capabilities. These protective capabilities
include reverse phase voltage protection, under voltage power and over voltage spike protection.

The 369 has one RS232 front panel port and three RS485 rear ports (RS485 is what the relay uses to
communicate with the RCS CAN network). The 369 interfaces with with most laptops and has
programmable safety settings to allow the unit to be customized for each unique mine site.
NOTE: The interface software is not provided as standard with the electric machines.

The 369 also has resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) which provide data on the stator winding
and bearing temperatures, phase voltage and phase current, load power and watt hours that it
communicates to the RCS system (next page shows RCS screen with display of data).

AIR COMPRESSOR PV-351
Specifications

All air compressors used on the PV-351 are manufactured by Ingersoll-Rand and are the oil flooded
asymmetrical rotary screw design. Tapered roller bearings are used on the air end to handle thrust
and radial loads.

Standard equipment for the air compressor includes two three-stage inlet air cleaners, full
instrumentation and controls. The lubrication system includes an oil cooler, by-pass valve, oil filter,
oil pump and combination air receiver and oil separator tank. A safety shut down system is also
provided for high discharge air temperature.

Regulation of the 2 x 285mm air compressor is accomplished by an electronic air regulation control
system which utilizes two butterfly valves to vary the inlet of the airflow allowing for decreased
airflow while maintaining constant restriction (allowing pressure rises and falls with the airflow
changes). This allows for optimal fuel efficiency while collaring the hole, as well as providing
reduced wear on drill string components. Control of the electronic air regulation control is done
through the rig control system (RCS) where adjustments are made by defining the percentage of
maximum air flow that is desired.

Make: Ingersoll-Rand
Type (Low pressure): Single stage oil flooded asymmetrical rotary screw
Bearing Types: Tapered roller
Air End Lubrication: Positive, gear oil pump
Air Cleaners: Two 3-stage with 2 pre-cleaners, 1 primary and 1 safety element.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PV-351
Specifications
All drilling and propel systems on the PV-351 are controlled by a hydrostatic power system. The hydraulic
pumps are mounted on a five-hole gearbox directly driven by the prime mover (diesel or electric motor).
There are two main pumps used for rotation and feed while in the "drill" mode and for powering the propel
motors when tramming. A dedicated fan pump provides on demand power from an electronic control to
provide optimum cooling in all temperatures. There are also two double pumps located on the back side of
the gearbox which are dedicated to auxiliary functions used throughout the machine.

The hydraulic system was designed to facilitate servicing with ease of access to the pumps, filters and
valve bay area and simplified tracing of hosing. All of the hydraulic valves are centrally located on a valve
stand to allow superior maintenance access.

Filtration System: A 3 micron filter in return line before the tank, and another 3 micron filter in
the supercharge circuit

Optional Angle Drilling Package

The optional Atlas Copco patented angle drilling package allows the tower to be positioned up
to 30°from the vertical, in increments of 5 degree. Al l controls for positioning the tower are
located at the operator's control console inside the cab.

The PIT VIPER 351 uses a tower support that is pinned to the frame and has telescoping
diagonal legs that are locked into a rigid position with hydraulically actuated, remotely
operated pins. The telescoping legs have holes in the inner tube that correspond to the angle
position of the tower in 5 degree increments.

This machine is also supported at the tower rest, and has two slider struts that move with the
tower as it is being lowered and must be pinned at 5 degree increments. This allows the tower
to pivot on the deck level and thereby insures that the hole will always collar within the dust
hood and that a minimal amount of drill rod will be unsupported between the centralizer and
the collar in order to reduce hole deviation.

RCS Optional Auto-Level System

There is the option to add additional technology options onto the RCS system. One of these options is
the auto-level system which increases the quality in setup of the drill, by automatically leveling the
machine on the jacks. This will help an average operator to level the drill at the same skill level (or
better) than that of an expert operator. Installation of this feature will reduce wear and tear on the
machine structure by limiting torsional effect on the mainframe and tower while leveling. This function’s
performance is dependant on ground conditions, but for a normal bench flatness, the results are that
leveling is done in under 35 seconds with an accuracy in pitch and roll of 0.2 degrees.

RCS Optional Auto-Drill System

In many cases there are several types of rock conditions within one blasthole, and an operator must be alert
at all times to react to these varying ground conditions. The expert operators react to feedback from the
machine’s gauges. Atlas Copco's Auto-drill feature has reproduced the expert operator's reactions into an
automatic drill control. When activated, this function will detect the rock when the bit touches the ground, and
start your air, dust suppression, rotation, and feed to collar the hole. After the collared distance has been
met, then this module will adjust air, dust suppression, rotation, and feed to a drilling setting. This feature will
apply optimal pulldown and rotation to try and drill as fast as possible without stalling the rotation or getting
stuck. Once the target depth has been hit, the Auto-drill feature will clean the hole or flush the hole, shut off
the air and dust suppression, and then return the bit to a tramming-safe position. This feature provides the
consistency of drilling to the correct hole depth, and a consistent water flow to maintain the hole so it does
not collapse. Currently this is available for single-pass drilling and multi-pass drilling, although a manual rod
change must be made at this time.

RCS Optional Global Positioning System (GPS)

To ensure the blast hole is precisely positioned where the mine engineer has designed the blast pattern and
is drilled to the correct depth, GPS hole navigation has been developed for the RCS platform. This hole
navigation system uses antennas mounted on the tower rest and radio antennas on the cab to produce an
accurate bit position. Drill plans designed with the local mine coordinates are imported to the system in the
International Rock Excavation Data Exchange Standard (IREDES) format, and the bit position is provided in
real time. The bit position is very accurate and is calculated by taking into consideration the variability on the
bench, providing the operator with the correct depth to drill each specific hole.

This feature also provides a moving map display with zoom functions as the rig is trammed closer to the
desired blast hole location. The dominant system for the positioning of a rotary drill on a blast hole drill plan
is with satellite navigation based on GPS or GPS and Glonass. Accuracies up to ±10 cm is possible to reach
depending on installation and number of available satellites. The integration of the GPS receiver to the
control system is via a standard remote sensing (RS) serial link. Protocol used is preferably the standardized
NMEA0183. The advantage of having the GPS system as a positioning sensor enables customers to choose
products of any brand (Trimble, Leica, Topcon) depending on the preferred standard in the actual mine.

The output of the Atlas Copco GPS system consists of a quality log file. This file contains information on
GPS accuracy and quality (number of satellites available), average penetration rate, total drill time, hole
numbers, start hole position, end hole position and operator names.

Note: If the desire is to upload patterns through a wireless network (and not through a USB), then the
communications interface module option is required.

RCS Communications Interface (CCI) System

The communications interface or CCI system allows the RCS system to communicate to other entities and
allows data transfer to and from the RCS system. In order for the CCI to communicate the mine must provide
a link to the communication network. The CCI system comes complete with the needed software and
Ethernet cable.

Examples of where a CCI would be required:


3rd party GPS system (GPS not purchased with the drill from ADS)

RCS Optional Rig Remote Access (RRA) System

The Rig Remote Access (RRA) system from Atlas Copco gives a customer the ability to connect the drill rigs
to a standard computer network on a work site. The RRA system allows access information on the drill rigs
from any authorized point in a network. The RRA system basically consists of a communication server
onboard the drill rig and a network adapter. The server supplies the user with three functions: a web
server that can connect through a program developed by Atlas Copco, using encoding similar to the
standard file transfer protocol (FTP) server that enables transferring of data (files) to and from the drill rig,
and a server process that enables any data to be integrated into the user's administrative systems. The
system utilizes standard communication protocols such as point to point protocol (PPP) or transmission
control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP).

With a wireless network connection to the drill rig, a number of working procedures in the mine are simplified
and several new features are available to the mine planning organization. The basic mine planning and
control functions can be simplified substantially by having a direct link to the machines. Advanced work
orders that previously were distributed at the beginning of each shift can now be distributed instantly. Manual
shift reports stating number of holes, drilled depth, etc. can now be completed automatically from data logs
without human involvement. RRA is also a tool for more advanced service and maintenance procedures.

NOTE: Communications Interface Module option is required with selection of this option.

RCS Optional Measure While Drilling (MWD) System

Measure While Drilling, (MWD) strata logging, logs several drill parameters during production drilling, and
the data can be used for prediction of geological and geochemical variations within drill patterns on a bench.
This can help determine the strength of that specific rock type. A rock mass is also intersected by fractures
and faults that strongly influence the conditions of the rock mass and, therefore, engineering aspects such
as charging and blasting of the drill pattern. This data, when integrated with the blasting plan, should
influence the explosive charging and specific density applied throughout the pattern, which will in turn
influence the loading, hauling and processing of the ore.

Atlas Copco’s required format for data interaction is in the International Rock Excavation Data Exchange
Standard (IREDES) format. This can then be exported into excel or other file format if desired on the
customer’s local server and/or workstation. Data is transferred from the system through use of the
Communications Interface option or through a USB flash drive.

The wireless remote function allows the operator to manouver the drill from the bench within a 60-meter
distance (no cord is required as it is a wireless system). This will allow an operator to walk all the way around
the machine and tram the rig to avoid any blind spots or next to a highwall or berm to prevent damage to the
machine. This controller is also equipped with safety triggers, so the operator must have control of the unit
with his hands to tram the machine. The function has an emergency stop button, engine speed control, dust
curtains control, jack control and cable reel control (electric units only). The system can be equipped with
additional functions when available.
