New names make it easier for you
to distinguish between our different
drill rigs
Atlas Copco Surface Drilling Equipment is changing
the naming structure of our drill rigs in the ROC fam-
ily. We The new names will make it easier for you to
distinguish between all our various drill rigs, as well
as clarify the different characteristics of the prod-
ucts.
Our new naming structure is built up in a much more logi-

cal way than previously, with the aim to simplify the un-
derstanding of the range. There are several drill rigs with
similar basic drilling capacities, such as drilling method,
hole range, installed power and flushing capacity. But
also, with various control systems to meet your require-
ments for different levels of technical sophistication.
The product range is therefore now divided into four dif-

ferent categories, four series of ROC drill rigs with the
following names: SmartROC, FlexiROC, PowerROC
and AirROC. As already pointed out, these four catego-
ries will make it a lot easier to distinguish between the
various drill rigs, as well as clarify the different charac-
teristics of the products, make it easier to understand the
advantages that each category offers, and better define
the segment and application for which they are intended.
We have started the name implementation, and by the

end of 2012 all our products will follow the new name
structure. On the next page you'll find a list of all the old
and new names.
Our SmartROC series goes beyond improving your operator pro-
ductivity and your drill rig efficiency. It also improves your total
mining process. The high level of automation makes operation a
safe pleasure and takes productivity to a new level. Using the drill
rig to its full potential, it gives you outstanding control of the drill
and blast results. It also provides you with the documentation you
need to keep total cost of ownership low. Get connected to the
future – get SmartROC.
The FlexiROC series is a solid combination of versatility and

efficiency. Whatever the working conditions are, these highly pro-
ductive rigs will keep drill meter costs down. Even in the toughest

Drilling methods
Drilling method:
Tophammer drilling
The classic tophammer method is renowned for
high penetration rates in good drilling conditions.
Atlas Copco is developing the method continu-
ously.
Exhaustive research into how impact energy can

be transmitted into the drill bit in the most efficient
way, with least possible stress, has resulted in a
new generation of rock drills. Development has
been focused on the key component in the rock
drill - the piston. The piston length, mass, and ge-
ometry have resulted in even faster penetration.
The effect is that more rock is crushed with each
blow from the piston. Moreover, a double damping
system reduces the load on components leading
to long service life, at the same time as drillsteel
TOPHAMMER
wear is reduced. In other
CUTTINGSwords, the positive results of
AIR FLOWfaster drilling are not coun-
teracted by higher drill steel
costs.
An extractor unit is available

as a useful accessory for
poor rock conditions.
13
Drilling method:
COPROD drilling
The COPROD system combines the speed of top-
hammer drilling with the precision and long ser-
vice life of the down-the-hole method.
Inside each rigid, threaded tube section is an im-

pact rod. It is furnished with stop lugs to hold it in
place inside the tube. The so called COPROD sec-
tions are joined together via the outer tubes. Since
the other tubes transmit rotation torque and feed
force only, the stress to the threads is minimal and
life length very long. All negative effects of trans-
mitting the impact energy through the threads are
eliminated entirely. The result is high impact power
with minimal wear. The outer tubes are smooth
and flush along the entire length of the drill string,
minimizing the risk of jamming while ensuring ef-
COPROD
ficient hole cleaning in
almost all rock conditions. CUTTINGS
AIR FLOW
Practical experience with CO-

PROD has been exceptionally
good. The method gives good
overall economy, particularly
in large scale production drill-
ing and drilling in broken rock
or other demanding rock con-
ditions.
14
Drilling method:
Down-the-hole drilling
Drills using the down-the-hole method (DTH) are
easy to operate and maintain. The method offers
a reliable way to drill hard to soft, solid to fissured
or fracture rock, and features a hammer piston,
which strikes the drill bit with virtually no power
loss. Shallow, deep or long holes are drilled with
barely any change in capacity. Hammer casing
and stiff drill tubes offer good guidance for the
hammer and drill bit, minimizing the hole devia-
tion. Thus blasting patterns and use of explosives
can be optimized, increasing the yield of rock at
a reduced cost per meter or footage drilled. The
tubes are smooth and flush along the entire length
of the drill string, minimizing the risk for jamming
while ensuring efficient hole cleaning in almost all
rock conditions.
DOWN-THE-HOLE
Apart from blast hole

drilling the DTH method
CUTTINGS
AIR FLOW
is widely used for water

well drilling, shallow gas
and oil wells, and for
geothermal wells. It is
also developed for sam-
pling using the Reverse
Circulation technique
(RC drilling).

SmartROC
Hole range 64 mm - 203 mm (2.5" - 8 ")
Improve your business
Our SmartROC series goes beyond improving your
operator productivity and your drill rig efficiency.
While benefiting from the latest technology available
in a sustainable and user-friendly way, it also
improves your total mining process.
The high level of automation makes operation a

safe pleasure and takes productivity to a new level.
By removing the need to manually mark and survey
hole positions, the Hole Navigation System saves
time and increases safety on the site. It also permits
a faster set up, and by guiding the operator to the
correct hole position – including angle and collaring
position – the operator will have a simplified task
delivering high quality drilling.
Using the drill rig to its full potential, it gives you

outstanding control of the drill and blast results.
The Rig Control System supports troubleshooting
by speeding up identification and solution of an
occasional breakdown.
By integrating the operation of our SmartROC series

with planning and fleet management tools, it provides
you with the documentation you need to improve
your business and keep total cost of ownership low.

FlexiROC
Hole range 25 mm - 180 mm (1" - 7")
Why compromise?
The FlexiROC series is a solid combination of
versatility and efficiency. The rock drill stroke setting
enables two optimum drill diameters for the rock
drill, giving you two rock drills in one. It offers both
long and short feed options; the long feed for higher
utilization and the short feed for drilling applications
in narrow and confined spaces. The low center
of gravity and high ground clearance means high
tramming availability, and the folding boom ensures
high utilization of the rig, even in the worst terrain
conditions. The floating double damping system on
the rock drill means that less feed force is required
and that better rock bit contact is achieved.
These powerful drill rigs handle workloads even in

the toughest environments. Whatever the working
conditions are, these highly productive rigs will
keep drill meter costs down. Even in the toughest
environments. Don’t compromise – get FlexiROC.

The power of performance
Our PowerROC series truly lives up to its name:
straightforward machines for high power operation in
tough conditions. Performance is based on opera-
tor’s knowledge, but training and operation is easy,
thanks to few adjustment points and settings. The
reliable and modular design with few and robust
components, makes it easy and quick to service. The
simple hydraulics mean less trouble points and make

The Care and Care E concepts
Care and Care E are preventive maintenance agree-
ments for your rig, rock drill and crusher where Care
covers new equipment and Care E used equipment.
While Care extends the warranty on your new ma-

chine, Care E is set up with an incentive structure on
the major parts to increase the economical impact if a
breakdown should occur.
The purpose of the Care products is to increase the

efficiency and availability of the Atlas Copco equip-
ment which will help our customers to make more
money. When your machine is tuned properly the per-
formance may be increased by up to 15%.
The Care products rest on the following pillars:

• Scheduled service
• Inspection / overhaul protocols
• Care extended warranty / Care E incentives
• Remote monitoring / CRUSH Care parts availability
guarantee
The scheduled service is based on the service inter-

vals stated in the machine's service documentation
and with the remote monitoring you can follow up your
production from the office.
73
Total cost of ownership (TCO)
We can advize our customers on the Total Cost of
Ownership for any Atlas Copco surface drilling equip-
ment. With the help of a simple program, the TCO-
Tool, we provide an estimation of the drilling cost per
drill meter and volume of rock produced.
The TCO tool calculates a rough production capacity

of the drill rig based on customer inputs, demonstrat-
ing the percentage part of each cost parameter in the
total drilling cost. This will help the end user select the
right type of drill rig for the specific application.
For more information, please contact Olav Kvist:

Total working Planned working hours per year. For instance
hours (per year) 10 hours shift, 220 working days per year, will
be 2 200 total working hour.
Long term All non-operative time should be stated in
utilization long term utilization, such as interruptions due
to unavailability of drilling location, auxiliary
equipment such as consumables loading equip-
ment, crusher, fuel, drill steel, etc.
Availability Availability stated should be the total availability
of the rig. Including mechanical availability and
preventive maintenance done in planned work-
ing hours. As a rule of thumb availability, can
normally be set at between 85-95%.
Percussion / As a rule of thumb 35- 45% for construction
engine hour % works and 45-55%, for bench operations.
Depreciation Should state the replacement time of the unit.
time (years)
Residual value The second handvalue of the rig by the
time of replacement.
Operator cost Should state the salary including taxes and all
(per year) the extra costs as supply of accommodation,
transport, etc.
Drill diameter Drill diameter has no effect on the calculations
as burden, spacing and rock drill penetration
rate are inserted manually. It is just set for
infor-mation purposes.
Burden and As a rule of thumb for benching applications
spacing hole diameter in inch equals to practical
spacing in meters. Burden, in theory, should be
considered as 1.25 times less than the spacing.
Rock tools Cost and drill meters stated should be for a unit.

Basic principles for rock drilling
Basic principles for rock drilling
To drill in rock, you need three different functions:
• Feed force: to keep the drill bit in contact with the
rock when percussion is in operation.
• Rotation: to rotate the drill bit just enough for it to hit
fresh rock on every stroke.
• Flushing: air or fluid flow to remove the cuttings from
the hole.
When all these functions are in balance and working

together, it is possible to drill properly. In hard rock and
large holes, big forces are needed to make the buttons
of the bit crush the rock. When drilling in soft rock or
small holes less impact energy is required. The rotation
speed is also dependent on the diameter of the hole,
and on the impact frequency. High impact frequency and
small holes require high rotation speed. The shock wave
generated as the piston hits the shank adapter is
transferred through the drill steel. As the shock wave
reaches the drill bit the force generated will push the
button inserts of the drill bit into the rock.
Feed force and rotation for penetration

In Atlas Copco rock drills the piston is long and slen-
der. This is a benefit as the shock wave generated
has a shape that gives good penetration efficiency.
Some of the energy will always be reflected from the
rock and back into the drill steel. The reflected energy,
which is
116
harmful to the rock drill, is transferred back to the rock
drill and forces the drill bit to lose contact with the rock.
This is the reason why all Atlas Copco rock drills are
equipped with a very efficient hydraulic damper, which
makes sure the harmful energy is absorbed and keeps
the drill bit in contact with the rock during drilling. This
gives you high feed force all the way, all the time.
The impact energy needed to crush the rock is depen-

dent on the hardness of the rock and the size of the hole.
If smaller holes are to be drilled, or if the rock is less hard,
the available power of the rock drill can be used to in-
crease the impact frequency instead of impact energy.
The more often the piston hits the shank adapter the fast-
er you will drill, as long as the impact energy is enough to
crush the rock. This is why most Atlas Copco rock drills
are equipped with adjustable stroke length, making it
possible to optimize the impact energy and frequency in
order to drill as fast as possible. Increasing the impact
frequency is also the key to drilling faster by increas-
ing the power of the rock drill. When the limit of impact
energy is reached, as the forces become too big in the
drill string, the only way to progress is to let the piston
hit the shank adapter more often. Our modern machines
have a frequency of more than 100 Hz. This makes it
possible to drill faster than any other rock drill in the
world and still be gentle to the drill steel. This gives you
higher productivity and lower service cost, which leads
to increased profitability.

General Features
The dual damper gives maximum drill steel life, as it
makes sure the drill bit is always in contact with the
rock. This is evident as the threaded joints on the drill
string have to be tightened before the next hit by the
piston.
Adjustable stroke lengths make it possible to ad-

apt to rock conditions and optimize the penetration
rate by providing the right percussive energy and cor-
responding frequency.
Big accumulators on inlet, return and damper gives

minimal pulsation in the hydraulic system, thus sav-
ing the components of the hydraulic system on the
drill rig.
An optimized percussion wave, thanks to the

long, slender piston gives maximal penetration and
at the same time minimal stresses on the drill steel.
High percussion frequency in the new rock drills

gives maximal penetration without increased stress
levels, saving wear in the drill steel and on the rock
drill itself.
High overall energy efficiency gives high penetra-

tion rate in relation to the drill rig’s installed power.
119
A complete range of hydraulic rotation motors is
available to adapt to the conditions and give the op-
timal rotation speed and torque.
Altogether these features give unrivaled low cost

per drill meter when using an Atlas Copco rock drill
on the drill rig.
Repowering with Atlas Copco rock drills is possible

on all drill rigs equipped with a power pack being able
to supply the rock drill with hydraulic oil at the cor-
rect pressure and flow. Instructions for repowering are
available in the Rock Drills Database.

Secoroc extension equipment
General presentation
The use of Secoroc extension equipment is by far the
most common method for small to medium blasthole
drilling on the market today. Atlas Copco’s compre-
hensive range of Secoroc extension equipment in-
cludes everything from R25 rope thread equipment all
the way up to T60 thread equipment. These systems
utilize the comprehensive range of tapered button bits
for the best results.
Atlas Copco offers the following extension equipment

systems: R22, R25, R28, SR28, R32, SR32, TC35,
R/T38, T45, T51 and T60.
Main product features

Secoroc drill rods are manufactured with a specified
steel grade and cutting edge heating process. They
have an ideal balance between abrasion resistance
and flexibility.
Four thread systems

There are four types of threads used today: R and SR
rope threads and T- and TC threads. The R rope thread
system is the oldest type of extension thread used. This
rounded thread is ideal for rod sizes up to 38 mm. They
are durable and easy to loosen or “break open”. In larger
rod sizes and especially in deep hole applications they
can become very difficult to break open. Therefore the
122
T-thread system was introduced. This thread is trapezoidal
and is more durable and easier to loosen on rods above
32 mm in diameter. The patented Secoroc SR system
is a conical rope design that has been very success-
ful in underground applications. This system has been
deve-loped for modern high-pressure hydraulic rock
drills. It is now being used in tophammer surface ap-
plications.
The TC-thread is a new conical system with trapezoi-

dal threads. Based on the SR-concept, the TC-thread
has been specially developed for surface drilling with
high performance drilling rigs. These are ideal for
straight holes from 48 mm (1 7/8") to 57 mm (2¼") in
diameter (64 mm for drilling anchor holes).
Two types of rods

Hex rods: This hexagonal rod is available as R25 and
R28. It is similar in construction to taper rods. Hex
rods are also offered as a lightweight option on T38
and T45 when manual rod changes are needed.
Hex rods are available in two different models: Hex

extension rods and hex Speedrods. The difference be-
ing that hex extension rods have “male” threads at both
ends and need a coupling sleeve to enable the string to
be extended. Hex Speedrods though use an MF-thread
ie. a “male” thread at one end and a “female” thread
at the other end of the rod. This makes the coupling
sleeve redundant and facilitates quicker and easier rod
changes.
123
Round rods and Round Speedrods
These are rods used as standard from R32 to T60.
They are available as conventional extension rods
or Speedrods. (The differences are explained above
in the hex rod section.) This is the most common rod
model available today. They originated as MF-rods,
and are currently manufactured by most of the major
manufacturers. They are available from R32 to T60.
Friction welded rods

This is a further development of Speedrods; they are
tougher and withstand excessive bending forces.
These are currently available as R32, T38, T45 and
T51. They can be ordered in 3.1- 6.1 m lengths.
Secoroc T60
A heavy duty MF-rod for large blasthole drilling. This
system has 40% larger cross-section and 10% bet-
ter flushing capacity than the equivalent T51 friction
welded rod. T60 allows the customer to optimize their
drilling pattern and drill fewer but larger drill holes per
blast than with conventional T51 equipment. T60 also
offers straighter holes and longer service life.
Shank adapters
There are many drill rigs on the market today that use
a number of different rock drills. That’s why Secoroc of-
fers a comprehensive range of shank adapters to match
rock drills from Atlas Copco, Boart, Böhler, Cannon,
Furukawa, Gardner Denver, Ingersoll Rand, Joy/Can-
non, Krupp, Montabert, Secoma, SIG and Sandvik.
124
Couplings
There are three types of couplings - standard, full-
bridge and cross-over. Standard couplings are threa-
ded the whole length of the coupling but with a slight
bridge in the middle. The connecting rods are tight-
ened so they meet in the middle of the coupling. As
this coupling wears there’s occasionally a tendency
for the bridge to wear down and the coupling to thread
its way along one of the rods. This can be eliminated
by use of the full-bridge version. As the name sug-
gests, there is a bridge in the middle of the coupling.
The rods are tightened against this bridge forming a
better connection. The cross-over coupling is a full-
bridge coupling designed to connect two rods of dif-
ferent sizes.
Drill bits
The performance of these extension systems is de-
pendent upon the types of bits used. Atlas Copco
Secoroc has a comprehensive range of button bits
that cover almost all customer needs for penetration,
longevity and reliability.

Insert bits
Please observe that all button bits are manufactured oversized 1.0-1.5
mm, meaning that for example a 45.0 mm bit is at least 46.0 mm as new
and a 89.0 mm bit 90.0 mm. This is done because of the fast initial wear
on button bits. It is important to consider that the drilled hole could
vary in size due to drilling conditions, drilling practices and ground
formation.

General Guide to Hydraulic Rock Drill Control

Systems – COP LOGIC
Drilling systems are there to assist the operator to
maximize performance of a drill rig and increase the
life of rock drill and consumables. In some bad rock
conditions an advanced drilling system is the only
possible way to drill. COP Logic is the common name
for rock drilling systems delivered by Atlas Copco. The
purpose of this guide is to summarize the description
of the COP LOGIC functionalities used in different drill
rig platforms.
131
• COP LOGIC for system based rigs
– As in SmartROC T35 and T40
• COP LOGIC for PLC based rock drill controls
– As in FlexiROC T15 R and T30 R
• COP LOGIC for hydraulic valve based
rock drill controls
– As in ROC D3 and PowerROC T35
There are many functions used in COP LOGIC. Some

basic functionalities are common for all rig types and
some are not possible to implement to all rig models.
As in ROC D3 some control functions are not in place
due to the application for which the rig is used. And
as in a SmartROC there might be some sophisticated
rock drill functions which are only possible with such
advanced systems. The four controls below are the
ones more commonly used in almost all Atlas Copco
hydraulic rigs.
1. RPC-F (Rotation Pressure Controlled Feed)

2. Anti Jamming (Flush Air) / Air flow control switch
3. Anti Jamming (Rotation)
4. Impact control systems: DPC-I Basic
(Damper Pressure Controlled Impact, one step)
DPC-I (Damper Pressure Controlled Impact,
proportional)
FPC-I (Feed Pressure Controlled Impact,
proportional)
132
1. RPC-F (Rotation Pressure Controlled Feed)
The main purpose of the RPC-F system is to give an
even rotation torque. This will prevent over-tightening
of coupling joints and also prevent the couplings from
running open. Over-tightened couplings will cause diffi-
culty in unthreading the joints when picking up the rods
and it may also cause premature breakage of the rods
due to increased rotation torque. RPC-F will also add
productivity in bad rock formation. It will minimize the
anti jamming activation and limit the jamming in the hole.
Coupling joints that are not tight enough will be worn
out quicker than normal. This is due to the impact en-
ergy which will be transferred over the threads instead
of the touching bottom point of rods. It will also have a
negative influence on the net penetration since the im-
pact energy is lost on its way to the drill bit.
2. Anti Jamming (Flush Air)/Air flow control switch

The purpose of the flushing air anti-jamming system
is to prevent the flushing holes from getting blocked
when drilling in very soft rock formations or through
clay sections. The anti-jamming system will reverse
the feed direction when it is activated.
3. Anti Jamming (Rotation)

The purpose of the anti jamming system is to prevent
the rods from getting jammed in the hole when drill-
ing in demanding rock conditions through cavities and
cracks. The anti jamming system will reverse the feed
direction when it is activated.
133
4. Impact control systems: DPC-I Basic, DPC-I, FPC- I
Brief description of dampening system: The main
purpose is to protect the rock drill and the consum-
ables from premature failures by cutting or reducing
impact pressure in case the dampening pressure
drops below preset values. The dampening pressure
is a direct reflection of the ground conditions in front
of the bit. The higher the dampening pressure gets,
the harder and more homogenous the rock is (more
stress wave reflections), the lower it gets, the softer
and more fractured the rock is (less stress wave re-
flections). Less impact energy is normally required to
penetrate soft formations and the system will reduce
impact pressure to a preset value (generally approx.
140 bar) or will adjust the impact pressure accord-
ingly if a very soft formation is reached, in which case
RPC-F settings then need to be adjusted.FPC-I is
also another functionality to adjust the impact pres-
sure. Whenever it is possible, which means a damp-
ing pressure control is available on the rig, DPC-I is
always prefered to FPC-I on Atlas Copco rigs.

Drill diameter (mm)
Above chart defines the choice of rotation motors from best practice. Depending on the rock formation, rotation motors can still perform good out of the
defined hole range. Since COPROD rock drills and COP4050ME are equipped with two rotation motors, selection of rotation motors for these rigs should
not be evaluated with the given figures. Dark grey defines the optimum and light grey being still in optimum, defines the second alternative.
