Cabless Track Rig has Extendable Boom
Atlas Copco has introduced the T35 E sur-face drill rig, the latest addition to the
PowerROC product family. The PowerROC
T35 E, an extendable-boom version of the
current T35 rig, is a no-cabin model that is
claimed to drill straighter holes and offers
improved safety, comfort and easy-access
maintenance. The rig features an alu-minum feed system that is highly resistant
to bending, while the prism shape of the
feed profile allows two directional sliding
surfaces as a stable guide for the rock drill
cradle. The T35 E’s feed system also uses
a cylinder with cables that drives the rock
drill cradle to provide more consistent
ground contact with the drill bit for higher
quality holes. Drilling and tramming con-trols are located in three separate areas on
the machine, allowing operators to safely
control the T35 E in difficult environ-ments. There also is no need for the oper-ator to stand next to the feed, resulting in
less dust and noise exposure. According to
Atlas Copco, the rig’s standard-equipment
COP logic control system adjusts to
achieve the best drilling performance, and
its COP rock drill is designed for mining
and tunneling in tough conditions. The
combination of the two provides optimal
transfer of impact power from bit to rock.
