Rock Drill COP 1838

Powerful

impact mechanism - 20 kW of controlled power

Compared

to COP 1238

Up to 80% higher net penetration rates 50 to 60% higher net drilling capacity

Rock Drill COP 1838

Long slender piston matched to the drill steel The piston shape and diameter is very similar to the shank adapter Favourable shape of the shock wave Higher impact energy transmitted through the drill string without overstressing it High performance and low drill steel costs

Rock Drill COP 1838

Patented double dampener
Effectively absorbs the reflected shock wave energy Keeps the bit pressed against the hole bottom with correct pressure

Long service life of drill steel and rig components Effective crushing of rock in the hole

Rock Drill and Drill String Safeguard System

Collaring Automatics
Ramping of pressures Rotation Pressure Controlled Feeding Feed Pressure Controlled Impact Superb anti-jamming function Double dampener Water flow guard RPCF FPCI

Drill bit loosening automatics

Rock Drill lubrication failsafe kit (optional)

Rock Drill and Drill String Safeguard System

Collaring automatics and ramping of pressure
When the automatic collaring is complete the collaring percussion pressure is ramped up to full pressure

For straighter holes and better drilling accuracy Low bending stresses in the drill steel during
collaring

Straighter holes

Lower drill steel costs

Rock Drill and Drill String Safeguard System

Collaring automatics

Collaring sequence with adjustable settings

two seconds for bracing two seconds for ramping up of the pressures

smooth collaring

minimum hole deviation

straight holes longer drill steel life

Rock Drill and Drill String Safeguard System

Advanced control functions RPCF & FPCI for superb anti-jamming
Virtually

eliminates jammed drill steel, even in fissured rock tight threads during drilling and reduces pitting damages - increasing drill steel life

Maintains

Maximises

the penetration rates for actual rock

conditions

Rock Drill and Drill String Safeguard System

RPCF Rotation Pressure Controlled Feeding
Continuously monitors and adjusts the feed pressure according to the rotation pressure If the rotation pressure continues to increase beyond a pre-defined upper limit, the rock drill is pulled back and starts a new collaring in the hole

Anti - Jamming automatics

FPCI

Feed Pressure Controlled Impact

The percussion pressure is only allowed to ramp up full impact level when the feed pressure is above a certain contact level and the drill bit is properly pressed against the rock. Reduces the impact pressure when the feed pressure goes under a certain contact level

Double Dampener

absorbs the reflected shock wave energy before it reaches the rockdrill continuously presses the drill bit against the hole bottom and keeps the drill steel joints tightened
