Rugged FOPS cab protects operator from

environmental hazards, dust and noise

Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions sets the safety,

operator comfort, and ergonomic standards

for the industry with its new 351 cab design.
Large, tinted, safety-glass windows located on
all four sides of the cab give the operator 360degree visibility including the ground. Windshield wipers and sun screens are standard for
both drill end and deck end.
The single-piece FOPS cab, isolation mounted
for optimum comfort and stability, is thermally
insulated, heated, pressurized, and sound
rated to 70 dBA. An integrated air system with
directional vents and louvers keeps the cab
comfortable.
The optional air conditioning unit is mounted
underneath the cab rather than on top to avoid
problems with leakage. Controls are easily accessible and the vents act as defrosters when
needed.

Diesel or electric prime movers

provide power and versatility

Massive mainframe and undercarriage

provide superior stability and
maneuverability

The 351 can be configured with either

a diesel or electric prime mover. Diesel
engine selections are Cummins QSK45
or Caterpillar 3512. The Cummins (1500
HP/1,119 kw) and the Caterpillar (1650
HP/1,230 kw) both run at 1,800 RPM. A
diesel-powered 351 drill offers the advantages of increased utilization, ability to
move more quickly from bench to bench
or hole to hole, and no cables or transformers to accommodate.

The 351 utilizes a weld-fabricated mainframe

constructed of 30-in. (762 mm) I-beam, which
weighs approximately 326 lb/ft. (47.8 kg/m).
This massive mainframe is the foundation for
the other drill elements.

For locations where electricity is more

advantageous, a WEG 6811 electric motor produces up to 1400 HP (1,044 kw) at
50/60 HZ. The electric model operates on
AC power, 4160 to 7200 volts, and includes a pressurized machinery house.

A Caterpillar 385 custom undercarriage, the

longest in the industry, provides a low center of
gravity and additional stability when the tower
is raised. The 385 undercarriage exhibits excellent slewing power and counter rotation ability. Pads and links can be replaced individually
rather than as a unit, allowing the drill to operate if one pad is damaged or missing.
The 351 propels at 1.0 mph (1.77 km) to quickly
move from hole to hole.

Aggressive, new technology keeps

man and machine in sync
The electrical control system on the 351 puts diagnostics and
drill operation at the drillers fingertips. Six Distributed Control
Unit (DCU) computers, located in strategic points on the drill,
network all operating data to the operators Central Computer
in the cab.
The engine is tied directly into this network. The Pentiumbased Central Computer, located in the cab, features a color
display with infrared touch screen interface that can be operated with a gloved hand. Virtual switches operate secondary
functions.
