The diesel engine is equipped with a monitoring system that includes automatic shutdown
functions.
The drill rig is driven by two traction motors with gears. The traction motors with gears are
mounted in the track frames.
The hydraulic pumps and the compressor are driven by a diesel engine.
2.4.4 Boom system
The boom system consists of boom body, boom head, feed holder and associated hy
draulic cylinders. The boom system is controlled by directional valves for positioning the
feed with the rock drill at different distances and directions.
2.4.5 Dust collector
The hydraulically driven dust collector features automatic cleaning and consists of a filter
unit, preseparator, suction fan and suction hose.
12
2.4.6 Electrical system
The 24 V electrical system is supplied with current by an alternator and two batteries.
The electrical system comprises starting equipment, work lights, electric controls and

drill rig forward and backward as appropriate when passing obstacles. This will main
tain the rig's stability even in uneven terrain.
6.4 Checking after tramming
All emergency stop wires and all emergency stops must be checked after tramming.
6.5 Tramming General principles
6.5.1 Tramming, general
Direct the boom system straight ahead 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.
116
Adapt the speed to the terrain. Always check the terrain where the drill rig will be man
oeuvred.
Left: Correct position for general tramming. Centre and right: Wrong position.
6.5.2 Tramming, uphill
Left: Correct position for tramming uphill. Right: Wrong position.
6.5.3 Tramming, downhill
The boom and rock drill/rotation unit must be as far back as possible.
Left: Correct position for tramming downhill. Right: Wrong position.
6.5.4 Tramming on transverse inclines
Use the boom system as a counterweight when traversing inclines.
NOTICE! The risk of slipping is greatest when tramming on a transverse incline.
117
NOTICE! Always observe ground conditions.
Left: Correct position for traversing inclines. Right: Wrong position.
6.6 Maximum permitted angles of inclination during
tramming and settingup for drilling
The angles refer to the ground inclination and not the inclination of the rig.
Track oscillation must always be open during tramming and track oscillation must always
be locked during settingup for drilling.

FlexiROC D50/55/60/65 T3 9 Angle instruments
9 Angle instruments
9.1 General
The angle instrument consists of the following components:
n Angle instrument with aim device (standard equipment).
n GPS compass (option).
n Drill depth instrument (standard equipment).
n Laser plane instrument (option).
In all cases, the system consists of a number of sensors. These sensors are connected to
the I/O unit and the LCD display through the CAN BUS communication and the system is
presented on, and is operated from, the LCD display.
9.1.1 Angle instrument with sight
The aim device 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 bearing is the same. By turning the aim device back to the same refer
ence point the entire time regardless of how the drill rig travels, the instrument calculates
how the feed inclination must be changed to maintain the same bearing. The angle sensor
on the boom mounting allows the instrument to compensate for the turning of the boom the
same way as when the aim device is turned.
Menus
The angle instrument is accessed by pressing button F2 in the lefthand edge of the dis
play. These three buttons always provide direct access to the respective functions, i.e. you
do not need to use the ESC key to go back to the main menu to select them.
Main menu
141
Four numbers are shown on the angle instrument display which show the required and ac
tual inclination laterally and longitudinally respectively, as well as a graphic image of the
deviation from required inclination.

a Actual inclination front/back: Shows the ac
tual inclination of the feeder. When the feeder is
positioned perfectly, the desired value and the ac
tual value are the same.
b Desired inclination front/back: Set the desired
inclination in relation to the reference point (sight).
Mark the field by moving with the arrow keys until
the field is blue and then press Enter to get a
flashing cursor under the digits. Set the desired
hole inclination using the arrow keys and press
Enter to confirm.
c Actual inclination left/right: Shows the actual
inclination of the feeder. When the feeder is posi
tioned perfectly, the desired value and the actual
value are the same.
d Desired inclination left/right: Set the desired
inclination in relation to the reference point (sight).
Mark the field by moving with the arrow keys until
the field is blue and then press Enter to get a
flashing cursor under the digits. Set the desired
hole inclination using the arrow keys and press
Enter to confirm.
142
e Reset: Resetting the drilled length instrument.
Before the start of each hole, the drill bit should be
positioned against the ground. Use the arrow keys
to mark the button by the symbol and press Enter.
The button will then become blue. Current drilled
length should show 0. The display will continue to
show the angle instrument menu. This reset is
also available in the drilled length instrument's
menu.
f Graphic: The graphic shows deviation from the
desired inclination via a red line drawn in the dir
ection of the deviation. The feeder spike must be
positioned in the opposite direction of the line to
reduce the deviation. When the feeder is set with
the desired amount of inclination, only a red dot is
shown in the centre of the graphic.
NOTE: If the total deviation of
! the lateral inclination and the
forwards/backwards inclination
exceeds 3º, the lamp on the
side of the display window will
light red.
g Activating Auto Zoom: When the deviating angle
is less than 1º, the outer circle changes over to in
dicate 1º instead of 5º.
Table 30: Directional instrument graphic display mode
NOTE: Remember that the desired angle values should always be specified in relation
! to the setting of the sight. If the sight is not to be used, it should be set straight ahead
and the desired values adjusted to 0.
9.1.2 GPS compass (option)
When the drill rig is equipped with an electronic angle indication system, which consists of
angle sensor on the boom and feeder, aim device, GPS compass and graphic presentation
on an LCD display, the aim device is set making it possible to drill parallel holes by select
ing a reference point before the first hole is drilled. This reference point is then maintained
throughout the entire round or as long as the bearing is the same. The bearing is then kept
to the same reference point automatically, regardless of how the drill rig travels, without the
need for changing the aim device. The instrument calculates how feeder inclination must
be changed to maintain the same bearing.
143
The direct selection menu F4 contains the settings for the GPS compass.
a Shows the aim device's compass direction
b Shows the compass direction selected for locking
c Shows whether the function is off or on
Table 31: Menu F4
1. Turn the aim device to the required compass direction.
2. Access menu F4 and confirm value (a) with Enter. The selected value is then moved
to b.
3. Activate or deactivate the GPS compass by selecting the righthand box (c) with
Enter, and select On or Off using the arrow keys. Confirm with Enter.
Symbol Explanation
Green info/ Green = GPS compass active.
Yellow warning Yellow = problem with e.g. GPS
reception.
Table 32: Symbols
NOTE: After starting up the rig's electrical system it may take several minutes before
! the symbol becomes green. This is because the antennas have to establish contact
with the satellites.
If the symbol does not become green then this may be due to several causes, e.g.:
n No satellites available
n The antennas are covered by snow
n Open circuit in cable between the antennas and the electronic unit
If the symbol remains green, deactivate the GPS compass in the F4 menu and use the aim
device in the traditional way.
144
9.1.3 Drilled length instrument
In order to control drilling length and penetration rate, the system is equipped with a drilled
length sensor. This is mounted on the upper sheave and is connected to the display to
gether with other components in the system. The drilled length instrument can be con
figured to show either the actual drilled length, hole length measurement or the vertical
depth, vertical depth measurement. In the latter case, the instrument takes into account the
hole inclination, and the value that is displayed is therefore less than the actual drilled
length.
Menus
The drilled length instrument is accessed by pressing button F3 in the lefthand edge of the
display. This provides direct access to the drilled length instrument menu.
Main menu
The depth instrument has the following functions:
Drilled length
a Indication of selected measurement method
The method of measurement is selected in the
"Settings" menu. Use the arrow keys to mark the
button by the symbol. Press Enter to toggle
between the two alternatives. Use the ESC key to
leave the menu when the desired symbol is
shown.

b Speed Penetration rate: Shows the penetration
rate while drilling is in progress.
c Bit position: Shows the current position of the
drill bit.
d Accumulated drilled length: Shows the total
drilled length since the memory was last reset in
the statistics menu.
e Current drilled length: Shows the drilled length
of the hole in progress after the counter has been
reset in accordance with (g).
f Desired drilled length when using automatic
drill stop: Set the desired inclination in relation to
the reference point (sight). Mark the field by mov
ing with the arrow keys until the field is blue and
then press Enter to get a flashing cursor under the
digits. Set the desired drilled length using the ar
row keys and press Enter to confirm. After the
counter has been reset, drilling will be stopped
automatically once the desired value has been
reached.
h Reset of drilled length counter: Before the start
of each hole, the drill bit should be positioned
against the ground. Use the arrow keys to mark
the button next to the symbol and press Enter.
The button will then become blue. Current drilled
length (b) should show 0. This reset is also avail
able in the angle instrument menu.
i Activation of the laser plane function: Mark the
field by moving with the arrow keys until the button
is blue and then press the Enter button to confirm.
An indicator will be illuminated in the status bra on
the display when the function is activated. 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.
9.1.4 Laser plane instrument (option)
As a supplement to the drilled length instrument, a laser plane can be used as the refer
ence level instead of the local ground level using a laser beam and a receiver on the drill
rig.
This requires that the distance between the drill bit and the laser receiver be entered when
the instrument is installed (see the section "Calibration"). Once the laser receiver on the
rock drill cradle has passed the laser plane, the indicated drilled length is related to the
laser plane instead of ground level. The indicated drilled length will then "jump" up to the
146
preprogrammed value and continue measurement from there. The laser beam must be
positioned in such a way that nothing comes between the laser beam and the laser re
ceiver on the drill rig.
Menus
The laser plane function is activated in the drilled length menu. Function indication is down
in the status field of the display.
Drilled length
i Activation of the laser plane function: Mark
the field by moving with the arrow keys until the
button is blue and then press Enter to confirm.
Laser plane function indication: The indicator
is lit in the status field of the display when the
function is active. Once the laser receiver has re
gistered the laser plane, the indicator will change

3. Go to the menu, Settings/Logging in/Laser sensor, and enter the distance at (a).
150
9.1.7 Operation
1. Move the rig to the drill site and set it up in the desired position.
2. Select a reference point and turn the sight so that the arrow points towards the refer
ence 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.
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.
5. Press the feeder spike against the ground by using the feed extension.
6. Set the desired hole length / vertical depth in the drilled length instrument's menu if
automatic drill stop is to be used.
7. Position the drill bit against the ground and reset the drilled length instrument either
directly in the angle instrument's menu or by first selecting the drilled length instru
ment's menu and then resetting it. This reset must be also be done if the laser plane
function is to be used.
8. 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.
9. Extract the drill string and move the drill rig to the next hole or, if the whole is close by,
turn the boom to the next hole.
10. If the drill rig is moved, the sight should be turned until it is aligned with the reference
point. The instrument will then take the new drill rig position into consideration to
make the next hole parallel to the previous one. If additional holes can be drilled
without changing the setup, the sight does not have to be adjusted.

10.2.8 Progressive lubricant distributor, type SSV
Fig. 17 Progressive lubricant distributor with 6, 8, 10 and 12 outputs
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 movement 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 constant 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
n Have pistons as the only moving part, i.e. no springs, balls or gaskets that can break
n Reliably distributes lubricant to the connected lubrication points
n Gives 0.2 cm 3 lubricant per output and piston stroke
n Can be plugged to obtain double, triple, etc. the amount per output (see "Plugging the
outlet")
n Can have 6 to 22 outputs
n Makes it possible to connect several lubrication points to one lubrication area.
Flow in the distributor
n 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
n Lubricant enters the distributor and then follows the direction of the arrow to the right
hand end of piston A
171
n The pressure of the lubricant presses piston A to the left. The lubricant in front of the
lefthand end of the piston is pressed out through output 2.
Fig. 18 Step 1, D=output 2
Step 2
n When piston A has reached its left end position, a channel opens to the righthand end
of piston B.
172
n The lubricant moves in the direction of the arrow and moves piston B to the left. The
lubricant in front of the lefthand end is pressed out through output 7.
Fig. 19 Step 2, A=output 7
Step 3
n When piston B has reached its left end position, a channel opens to the righthand end
of piston C
173
n The lubricant moves in the direction of the arrow and moves piston C to the left. The
lubricant in front of the lefthand end is pressed out through output 5.
Fig. 20 Step 3 B=output 5
Step 4
n The channel to the righthand end of piston D is now open.
174
n The lubricant presses piston D to the left. The lubricant in front of the lefthand end of
the piston is pressed out through output 3.
Step 5
n Piston D opens the channel to the lefthand side of piston A.
n The lubricant presses the piston to the right. The lubricant in front of the piston is
pressed out through output 1.
n Pistons B to D are then moved in order from left to right.
175
n A complete lubrication cycle has now been completed and will begin again.
When lubricant flow has been interrupted
n The pistons stop
n No lubricant reaches the lubrication points
n When the flow starts again, the pistons begin to move from the exact spot they
stopped.
Functionality check
n The primary distributor (Fig. 23) and secondary distributors are connected with main
lines (G). The pump is connected to the primary distributor.
n If a piston in any of the blocks gets jammed or if an output is blocked, the lubricant dis
tributor will stop.
n 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).
n The simple design also ensures that a blocked lubrication point is never forgotten.
176
n 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 be
comes apparent when lubricant leaks from the safety valve (Fig. 25).

10.3 Thread lubrication
10.3.1 General
Function
Drill pipe threads are lubricated by means of spraying grease on them through a nozzle
which is located on the upper breakout table.
The grease comes from a compressed air powered pump (B) which is located in a grease
container (A) on the front of the chassis frame. Grease is pumped from the grease con
tainer to the nozzle where it is sprayed on the thread using compressed air from a separate
air line to the nozzle.
Thread lubrication system.
A Grease tank
B Pump
Operation and adjustment
The direction of the nozzle must be adjusted so that the grease reaches the male thread
when a pipe is in breakout position.
183
The threads must be greased during both drilling and retraction.
During drilling: Move circuit breaker S449 on the rod handling panel forwards before a new
pipe is joined on.
During retraction: Move circuit breaker S449 on the rod handling panel forwards before the
adapter on the rotation unit is threaded onto the pipe in breakout position.

The filter (6) should be regularly dismantled and cleaned.
186
Operation
Drill lever.
187
Water mist is only activated when flushing air is switched on and button 5 on the drilling
lever is depressed. You can choose between 3 different positions Auto, Full or Drain
ing.
Drill panels
AUTO
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 contact breaker
S448 must be in AUTO position (b). Water mist is only switched on providing the rig is in
drilling position and flushing air is activated. It is possible to set the water volume in AUTO
mode using the electrical potentiometer (S272) which controls water volume to the water
mist system, 0100%. Read off on the screen.
If it is not necessary to add water, the system can be turned off by putting switch S448 to
OFF (c).
Note that there is a certain delay after activating the water mist before the water emerges
from the drill bit.
FULL/MANUAL
If it is necessary to add a larger amount of water, e.g. if a pocket of clay is hit, switch S448
can be set in MANUAL position (a). The switch will spring back to AUTO position when it is
released and the water mist system continues to operate in AUTO mode again. Water
volume cannot be controlled with the potentiometer (S272) when manual position is used.
DRAINAGE
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 tank can be drained
through the valve on the bottom of the tank (B).
188
To drain the hose from the pump, set the rig in drilling position and switch off flushing air.
The water mist system can only drain properly without pressure from the flushing air sys
tem. Press contact breaker S448 twice, quickly, to the FULL/MANUAL position (a). The
contact breaker will spring back to AUTO position when it is released. The pump will oper
ate for 20 seconds at full speed. After 20 seconds, set contact breaker S448 in OFF posi
tion (c) in order to switch off the pump. Never allow the pump to operate without water
in the system. Switch on flushing air for a short time in order to blow out the rest of the
water.
Filling up the water mist system
The water tank must be filled with pure water and possibly dust binding additive through
the filler valve on top of the tank (A).
When the water mist system shall be started after draining, the water pump must be oper
ated in FULL/MANUAL position for a few seconds, without flushing air being switched on.
The pump must have water to work with, without pressure from the flushing air system.
Never allow the pump to operate without water in the system.
DCT and the water mist system
To prevent clogging suction hoses and filters, the dust collector should be switched off if
the dust is damp or if water is being flushed out of the hole.
10.6 Electrical preheating
10.6.1 General
Hoses and valves for air and water can be heated with heating coils before starting up. If
temperature is above 10°C then no heating is required as a rule.
Heating is switched on maximum 510 minutes before starting the engine and is switched
off when the engine has started.
Switch for electrical preheating
Do not allow the heating to be switched on for more than 10 minutes so that the battery is
not discharged.
Do not forget to switch off the heating when the engine has started.

10.9 RC Reverse Circulation
10.9.1 General
RC, or Reverse Circulation, is a method for transporting cuttings and the collection of cut
ting samples. Unlike conventional drilling, when cuttings are drawn up by flushing air
between the drill steel and the borehole wall, the cuttings are drawn up with flushing air in a
separate tube inside the drill pipe.
The system covers the entire drill string, i.e. drill bit, downthehole rock drill and drill steel,
as well as devices for the further transportation and division of cuttings in small samples.
For documentation on the rotation unit, see separate instructions.
For specific documentation on drill pipes and the downthehole rock drill, refer to the docu
mentation of the supplier in question.
Atlas Copco assumes no responsibility for the durability of the rig if rig equipment from an
other supplier is fitted.

Drill bit and seal ring
RC drill bits are similar to conventional drill bits externally. They break the rock in the same
way and they are sharpened in the same way.
The main difference is the route of the flushing air and the cuttings. The clean flushing air
is led to hole bottom through slits on the outside of the drill bit. On the lower part of the drill
bit are two openings where the mixture of cuttings and flushing air each flow into separate
channels. The two lower channels merge together into one upper channel about 100 mm
into the drill bit.
Since two channels are combined into one, the upper channel can be worn down to be
come oval. This can lead to rapid wear of the downthehole rock drill's inner tube. Drill bits
exhibiting such wear should be removed from operation.
During normal drilling, flushing air and cuttings are routed up between the hole wall and the
outside of the drill pipes, but during RC drilling, preferably no cuttings should be routed this
way. Instead everything should be routed into the drill bit's two openings. For this reason,
there is a seal ring just above the drill bit. The difference in diameter between the seal ring
and the drill bit should not be more than 3 mm. If there is much water in the hole, this
should not be more than 12 mm.
A good seal between the seal ring and the borehole wall is the most important factor for
collecting as much of the cuttings as possible.
Downthehole rock drill
RC downthehole rock drills resemble normal downthehole rock drills, but they have a
hardened inner tube to guide up cuttings and flushing air. The inner tube is a wear part and
in most cases it is easily replaced through the upper part of the downthehole rock drill.
196
Guide
A guide, which is normally slightly smaller than the drill bit, stabilises the downthehole
rock drill and results in less hole deviation. It is primarily used in horizontal or inclined
holes.
The guide is mounted between the lowest drill pipe and the downthehole rock drill.
A mounted guide also makes it easier to work loose after jamming.
Drill pipe
Double tubes are used during RC drilling, one inside the other. The compressed air for the
downthehole rock drill is routed between the inner and the outer tube and then back, to
gether with the cuttings, in the inner tube.
The outer tubes are threaded. The inner tubes are held in place in the outer tubes with
circlips. There are three Orings in the lower end of the inner tube.
Normally, a 6 m long drill pipe with a diameter of 4" or 41/2" is used on the outer tube.
Because the RC pipes are heavier than normal drill pipes only 4 tubes may be loaded in
the carousel. The maximum number of tubes is then 4+1, that is, 4 tubes in the carousel
and 1 tube in the feeder.
Thread adapter
The thread on the air swivel is suitable for the Metzke 4" drill pipe. If another drill pipe is
used then a thread adapter is required.
Spar adapter
In order to protect the thread on the air swivel or thread adapter directly above, a short
spar adapter is used. It has the same type of thread at both ends.
Air swivel
The air swivel guides in the compressed air between the outer and the inner drill pipe.
Rotation unit
The rotation unit is similar to normal rotation units but has a hollow shaft which in turn has
a hardened inner tube for transporting air and cuttings.
197
Outlet swivel
The shaft that is routed through the rotation unit is the last rotating component. It has its
upper end in the outlet swivel.
Blowdown (option)
The blowdown valve directs the compressed air down through the inner tube and so clears
away any blockages and forces return air to the outside of the drill pipe.
Deflectors
The cuttings exit from the inner tube at high velocity. Before they can be routed further in a
hose, they must be slowed down, which is done by two deflectors in the outlet section.
Both deflectors turn the cuttings/airflow 90 degrees. The first deflector is coated with a re
placeable ceramic plate in order to withstand the wear caused by the cuttings. The second
deflector comprises a cast section at an angle of 90 degrees. When this is worn, the whole
section should be replaced with a new one.
Sample hoses
The sample hoses are made of 3" ID material handling hose, which is specially designed
for this type of work. There are two hoses, the upper removable hose from the second de
flector to a holder on the rear of the feed beam, and the lower stationary hose from the
holder to the cyclone.
Sample preparation components
The sampling components consist of a cyclone and a sample splitter. The cyclone and the
splitter must always be vertical when they are used, otherwise there may be uneven load
ing in the division and samples, which is not completely accurate.
There are two types of splitter, the cone splitter with intermediate chamber and the "Jones
riffle splitter".
Cyclone
The cyclone is designed to separate cuttings and air, so that the cuttings sample can be
collected. A good cyclone normally collects more than 99% of the cuttings sample the re
mainder of the mixture of air and dust flows to a dust collector or to the atmosphere.
198
Jones riffle splitter
1 Cyclone
2 Jones riffle splitter
3 Hatch
4 Inspection hatch
The "Jones riffle splitter" consists of several levels of splitter which halve the sample at
each level until the final sample size is reached, normally 3 or 4 levels, which results in
12.5% or 6.25% of the whole sample. The Jones riffle splitter is easy to use and clean,
provided that the cuttings are dry.
The cuttings are collected in the cyclone's lower part during drilling. There is an opening
hatch between the cyclone and the Jones riffle splitter. When the hatch is opened a vi
brator starts that facilitates emptying.
199
Cone splitter with intermediate chamber
1 Cyclone
2 Upper knife valve
3 Intermediate chamber
4 Lower knife valve
5 Cone splitter
The cone splitter works by means of the whole sample being released down over the top of
a cone. At the base of the cone are one or two openings to collect the sample. The size of
the openings can be adjusted to collect the percentage required. The cone splitter can
provide a more precise division than the Jones riffle splitter, but is more sensitive to set up.
There is an intermediate chamber between the cyclone and the cone splitter in which the
cuttings are collected during drilling. The passage between the cyclone and intermediate
chamber, and between the intermediate chamber and cone splitter, can be closed with
knife valves. When the lower knife valve is opened a vibrator starts that facilitates empty
ing.

The arm is locked with 3x M16 bolts, either in drilling position (A) or in tramming po
sition (B).
203
It is also possible to lock the arm in position C (20°). In this case, 2x M16 bolts are re
quired.
DANGER
When tramming or transporting, the arm must be secured in position B. Otherwise
there is a great risk of damage to the machine and personal injury.
u The rig must not be used with the arm unsecured
204
The RC arm's different positions.
10.9.3 Drilling and sampling
It is assumed that the operator already has knowledge of normal drilling with the rig.
Drilling
Setting up for drilling is carried out in the same way as for normal drilling. It is important
that the cyclone and splitter are vertical.
205
Collaring is performed during normal drilling. During collaring it is appropriate to let the
knife valves (cone splitter) or the hatch (Jones riffle splitter) remain open in order to check
that the cuttings/air mixture are flowing through the cyclone. When this takes place the
lower knife valve/hatch is closed.
Jamming takes place more easily during RC drilling than with conventional drilling. A guide
adapter above the downthehole rock drill makes it easier to work loose after jamming.
When gripping the drill pipes with the drillsteel support or breakout table, it is important not
to do it further away than 300 mm from the thread, otherwise the tube may break.
Sampling with the Jones riffle splitter
The hatch is closed during drilling. When a sample length is fully drilled the feed is
switched off. After a few seconds all the cuttings have entered the cyclone. At which point
the hatch between the cyclone and splitter is opened, so that the sample can flow out and
be collected. While the hatch is opened a vibrator starts in order to facilitate emptying.
When the hatch has been closed drilling is resumed by switching on the feed again.
Sampling with the cone splitter
The upper knife valve is open and the lower knife valve is closed during drilling, so that the
sample is collected in the intermediate chamber. When a sample length is fully drilled the
feed is switched off. After a few seconds all the cuttings have entered the intermediate
chamber. At which point the upper knife valve is closed while the lower knife valve is
opened, so that the sample can flow through the cone splitter and be collected. While the
lower knife valve is opened a vibrator starts in order to facilitate emptying. When the lower
knife valve has been closed and the upper opened drilling is resumed by switching on the
feed again.
When the cuttings are moist, which makes handling of the sample more difficult, both knife
valves can be open during drilling. However, this should be avoided.
10.9.4 Operation of Metzke Blowdown Valve
The Metzke Blowdown Valve is an option that is not fitted to all rigs with reverse circulation
(RC).
206
The blowdown valve consists of one chamber which holds a rectangular piston or spool
that slides to and fro to open or close ports to the flows of air and cuttings. A hydraulic cyl
inder activates the spool.
WARNING
Serious injury
The blowdown valve must not be modified to blow air down the test hose ('blow up').
This can cause high pressure in the test hose, leading to a catastrophic hose failure
and possibly serious injury.
WARNING
Serious injury
The blowdown valve works with air under high pressure. Air under high pressure is ex
tremely dangerous.
u Remove or isolate the air or hydraulic inputs before service or maintenance.
u The valve has internal moving parts that can be dangerous due to pressure forces. Do
not position any part of the body or any objects in the valve ports during tramming.
Drilling mode
The blowdown valve is open in drilling mode, so that cuttings can pass freely through the
main passage in the valve. The air supply in the valve flows directly from the inlet port to
the outlet port and then to the air swivel. Air is blocked from entering into the blowdown
port.
Drilling mode is selected by setting the switch on the control box to DRILL for at least 2
seconds.
CAUTION
Risk of injury
It is essential that the valve is fully open in drilling mode. If the valve is only partially
open, it will be subject to serious wear very quickly.
Blowdown mode
The main passage in the valve is closed in blowdown mode and the cuttings blocked. The
air outlet port is closed and the blowdown port is now open for the inner tubes. All the air is
now directed down the inner tube.
207
Blowdown mode is selected by setting the switch on the control box to BLOWDOWN for
at least 2 seconds.
CAUTION
Risk of injury
All the cuttings on their way up in the inner tube must have passed the rotation unit be
fore blowdown is activated.
u Lift the drill bit from the bottom of the hole and wait for at least 3 seconds before activ
ating blowdown.
10.9.5 Daily maintenance
Cleaning
Cleaning the system should take place at the end of the work shift.
Access can take place in several ways:
n Rotating the cyclone and opening the cover plate.
n Two hatches on the intermediate chamber.
n Jones riffle splitter inspection hatch.
n Swinging the cone splitter out of the way.
Rotary actuators, cylinders and shafts must not be cleaned with highpressure washing,
because any penetrating water may damage the components.
