Underground rock drilling rigs form the foundation of the mining, tunneling, and underground construction in the harsh environment. Such specialized machines allow for exact digging out of resources, shaping as well as building of infrastructure in harsh underground settings.
These rigs have been designed for a fine level of precision combined with the toughness and efficiency to allow the workers to operate effectively in harsh geological environments. Modern underground drilling rigs featuring advanced automation and control systems eliminate the problem of human error and maximize their productivity.
Heavy-duty devices called underground rock drilling rigs are used to bore into hard rock formations in tight areas. They differ from surface drilling rigs, which are movable, adaptable, and made to function in low-oxygen, high-pressure underground environments.Key components include:
Hydraulic/Pneumatic Drills: For penetrating rock surfaces.
Boom Systems: Articulating arms for precision positioning.
Dust Suppression: Critical for miner safety.
Remote Control:Enables operation in hazardous zones.
Excavation rigs for underground rock drilling are used by Zimscn to combine high levels of automation and ergonomics to increase the productivity of mines, tunnels, and civil works.
The crawler-type drilling rig is used for putting up anchors, reinforcing slopes, and creating foundations.
