Rock Drills Designed for Tough Conditions
Atlas Copco has launched three new heavy-
duty versions of its proven COP 1800 series
hydraulic rock drills. The new models
include the COP 1638HD, COP 1838HD
and COP 2238HD and are intended for
face drilling in underground mining and
tunneling projects involving tough condi-
tions. A primary feature of the new drills is
a new side-bolt design consisting of four
front bolts and two at the rear. This mini-
mizes the risk of impact piston misalign-
ment and secondary damage to internal
parts. It also improves serviceability due to
easier side-bolt torque procedures. In addi-
tion, says the company, the front head has
been strengthened, making the rock drills
more robust for demanding conditions.
