TMS DDS INSTRUMENTATION FOR PRODUCTION DRILLS

ADVANTAGES
-Measures and displays the direction of the angle of drilling with high accuracy.
-Displays the hole depth and penetration rate
-Simple and basic system that’s easy to install and use

CUSTOMER VALUES
-Reduces the risk of generating over- and under-break that leads to extra costs, slower production, and an increased risk of falling rocks (safety issue).
-Allows accurate control of the drilling process
-Minimal installation time and training required

Category:

During production drilling operations, inaccurate feed positioning and an incorrect drilling angle can have serious consequences on the operational costs of an underground mine. It can cause:
• Oversized blocks
• Ore loss
• Dilution

The TMS DDS instrumentation allows the operator to control the drilling hole direction on Production Drills. It is used to accurately position the drilling feed at the correct angle (tilt and rotation), and displays hole depth, penetration speed and drilling pressures (percussion, feed, rotation and flushing).
Data collection is included.
A large, user-friendly, display clearly shows parameters to the operator. Instrumentation checks itself at every start to find possible faults in the system.
