SURFACE DRILLS

WHY USE REMOTE CONTROL DRILLS? SURFACE DRILLS A turn-key remote solution to improve the safety and productivity of operating surface drills in dangerous areas. § § § Get maximum production from your mine Continue with operations, safely, where there is wall instability Ensure the safety of operators at all times Get the optimal use from your drill fleet Get more value from your mine

SAFETY FOR OPERATORS AND EQUIPMENT SURFACE DRILLS Improve your equipment safety, increase operator efficiency and maximise your fleet productivity with RCT’s comprehensive range of control and automation solutions for drills. § § § § Line-of-Sight Remote Controls Teleremote Control Systems Operator Stations Communications Setup Barrier Systems Test and Service Kits Skills Training (Operator and Maintenance) Transmitter On-board machine receiver On-board machine interface

LEVEL OF AUTOMATION SURFACE DRILLS These steps will help identify how the drills can be operated on remote control. § Operator to control single or multiple drills from one remote control § § console/station. Tramming of the drill to the work area to be carried out via remote control. GPS positioning to provide accurate placement of the drill over the hole. Positioning of the mast to be carried out on remote control with automated assistance to allow for correct mast position prior to drilling. Automated sequencing of the drilling process under the supervision of the operator.

STEPS TO AUTOMATION SURFACE DRILLS 1. Remote Control Transmitter/receiver Drill cameras and lights Drill logics package Teleremote video transmitter/receiver package Electrical interface Skills training Drill compatible with remote control integration 2. Teleremote communications system Operator stations Barrier systems Skills training 3. Automation Navigation positioning technologies Drill data logging Automated set point drilling via GPS positioning

PROJECT – POLYUS’ OLIMPIADA MINE SURFACE DRILLS § RCT is currently working on a project with Russia’s Caterpillar dealer, Vostochnaya Technica at Polyus’ Olimpiada surface mine, Russia. § RCT is designing, manufacturing and installing eight Control. Master® solutions on: Caterpillar trucks (x 5), shovel (x 1), dozer (x 1) and drill (x 1). § The project is a crucial turning point for the mine’s transition into an autonomous machine operation.

PROJECT – POLYUS’ OLIMPIADA MINE SURFACE DRILLS § RCT’s custom-made drill console will mimic all the functions of the Atlas Copco DMC Series drill that was being utilised onsite. § The console consists of four joysticks which can be used over four different modes to perform 50 functions. § It was an important requirement that the icons would translate well to Russian, but also have a universal meaning. Therefore, ISO symbols were used for main functions and all text displaying on the screen itself is multilingual, to cater for its client in Russia and around world.
