Hydraulic system, general

Hydraulic system, general


General
The hydraulic system on the ROC D5/D7/D9 is an electrical and pilot pressure controlled system. The
system comprises 4 hydraulic pumps. Hydraulic pumps 1 and 2 are driven directly by the diesel engine
via a flexible coupling. The remaining pumps (3 and 4) are fitted as a double pump on the engine's
power take off (PTO).

Pilot pressure
The pilot pressure is generated in the main drilling block and winch block. This pressure supplies the
drilling block's directional valves with oil. This pilot pressure also supplies the tramming blocks
directional valves with oil and the directional valves for high-speed tramming and winch freewheel.
The pressure control panel controls the working pressure to pump 1, the feed pressure and rotation
speed in the main drilling block.

Hydraulic system, general

Return oil and oil cooler


The Hydraulic oil tank has a capacity of 260 litres which means that there is always a stock of oil
in the tank. In addition to storage it serves to separate water and dirt. There are two holders with 3
filters in each which filters hydraulic oil from the return- and drain circuit and the oil during filling.
There is also a ventilation filter which prevents contaminated air from entering the tank when the
hydraulic oil level is changed. Thermostats ensure that the oil flows through the oil cooler when the
temperature is above 40C and directly to the tank when the temperature is below 40C. The by-pass
valve protects the oil cooler from exposing to high pressure.
The oil cooler cools the hydraulic oil so that the rig can work at full load in ambient temperatures up
to 50C. The cooling fan is driven by a hydraulic motor that is supplied with oil from pump 4 at a
maximum pressure of 160 bars (D5) or 220 bar (D7).
T- Return oil is a collection block that collects return oil from the various circuits and leads it to the
thermostats and to the return oil filter.
D-Drain oil is a collection block that collects oil from the various circuits and leads directly to the
return oil filter.
L-Leakege oil is oil that goes directly to tank for minimum resistance in the circuits.
The filler pump is used to fill the system. There is a stop valve that prevents return oil from leaking
out through the filler pump. A level sensor (B143) detects the level of hydraulic oil in the tank. Should
this drop below a certain level, the diesel engine is switched off automatically. The sensor signal from
B143 goes via PLC input X36.
Temperature sensor (B362) sense the hydraulic oil temperature and the temperature will be shown
on the display. The engine will automatically stop if the hydraulic oil temperature exceeds 90C.
Note: This signal is connected directly to the EMS.
The drain cock is used to remove water of condensation or to empty the hydraulic oil tank.

Electrical system, general

Electrical system, general


General
ROC D5/D7/D9 is equipped with a 24 volt electrical system for monitoring and fault indication. The
electrical system is also used for controlling a number of hydraulic- and pneumatic valves. The
structure of the electrical system is illustrated in a block diagram.

Battery and charging


The power source for starting the engine is two 12 V/185 Ah batteries that are connected in series.
These are charged by a generator. The batteries are connected to the system via a manual battery
switch.

Main fuse
The power supply to the electric cabinet is fused by a 60 A main fuse (F300) and a 100 A main fuse
(F304).

Electric cabinet
The electrical cabinet (A1) contains 17 fuses, of which one automatic circuit breaker that limit the
intensity to the various sub-circuits, some auxiliary relays, a CCU and a PLC.

ECM
ECM (Electronic Control Module) is used for monitoring the engines functions and sensors. It
receives analogue and digital information from the engine and the rig. The ECM stops the diesel
engine automatically if a specific fault occurs. A specific fault is for example low oil pressure which
could cause major damage to the engine.

EMS
The ECM also indicates specific faults through indicator and warning lamps on the diesel panel and
EMS (Electonic Monitoring System) LED-display.

CCU
Winch control unit is a system for controlling the winch from the remote control box. The system
consists of two parts, the CCU (CAN Control Unit) and the remote control box.
There is a CAN serial communication between the CCU and the remote control box. The CCU is
located in the large electric cabinet (A1) and controls the hydraulic valves for tramming, positioning
(boom lift and boom swing) and the winch.

The power source consists of 2 12V/185Ah


batteries connected in series. Before the main
switch is switched on there is power to the diesel
heater + timer.
When the main switch is switched on the
circuit 25 is activated which supplies power to
parts of the ECM, the EMS and working lights.
Ignition position activates circuit 50 which
supplies the diesel panel, preheating, the ECM,
the CCU and the PLC via K4A with power.
Note: The purpose of the signal from circuit 50
is only to close the relay contact to K4A.
In the start position the engine is started via
relay K5A.

Note: The electrical system's ground cables are


not isolated. This means that the system
consumes a small current even when no
functions are activated.

Electrical system, general

PLC
The PLC handles logic functions for rod-handling, rapid-feed stops, percussion, air flushing, DCT,
high/low speed on the diesel engine, hydraulic oil level, coolant level, air filter diesel / compressor and
for anti-jamming functions. The logic for the PLC is saved in an EEPROM (Program).

Ignition position
When the ignition key S139 is in the ignition position the contacts 30-15 and 30-75 are closed. The
ignition relays K4A, K4B and K4C are activated and the relay contacts are closed.
When the relay contact K4A is closed the ECM is supplied with voltage via fuse F12 under the
condition that relay K330 is activated by the PLC output Y30. PLC outputs are supplied with voltage
via F15 and remote control with winch via F14.
Conditions for activation of K330:
 Emergency stops S132A, S132B and S132C are not triggered

Diesel engine
When the relay contacts K4B and K4C are closed the control panel in the cab is supplied with voltage,
which regulates working lights and seat heating amongst other things.
During the ignition phase, the fault indications lamps on the diesel panel are flashing for 2 seconds
while the ECM conducts a self test, PLC outputs Y27, Y31, Y32, Y33 are also activated for lamp test.
During this time the engine will not be able to start.

Start position
Conditions for activation of starter motor:
 Emergency stops S132A, S132B and S132C are not triggered
 Fuses F300, F1, F11, F12, F13 and F15 are not triggered
 S130 in tramming mode

Note: PLC/X34 can only be activated when the compressor switch (S180) is not activated, otherwise
the S180 contact will block the input signal to PLC/X34.
If the conditions above are fulfilled, PLC output Y24 is on which activates K5B which in turn precontrols relay K5A. When relay K5A closes, the starter motor (M1) is activated.
 PLC/Y24-On

K5B relay

K5A relay

M1 is activated, i.e. engine is cranking.

The ECM is normally powered through PLC ouput operated by K330. When turing the starter motor
there will be voltage drop in the system which can temporarily cause the PLC to shut down. To ensure
power supply to the ECM, which is necessary for starting the engine, one of the contacts of K5B is
bridging the contatct of K330. This allows the ECM to be powered from the main electrical system.
During the starting phase, the ECM blocks any signal from the oil pressure switch for 15 seconds.
This is to prevent the engine from stopping if the start key is released as soon as the engine has started,
but the engine has not yet built up the correct oil pressure.

Control instrumentation
Following instruments monitors the diesel engine.
 Diesel fuel gauge P352
The fuel transducer B352 in the fuel tank sends a signal to the fuel gauge, proportional to the fuel
level. There is an adjusting screw on the backside of P352 for calibrating the true fuel level. The
lamp comes on when there are 75 litres remaining.
 Engine Monitoring System P354
VDO, tachometer with display. The EMS monitors and processes engine operating parameters
and diagnostic information. The unit has a digital LCD display which can read out the different
engine parameters monitored and display fault symbols when faults occur. Press button (S354) on
the VDO instrument in order to scroll between the menus on the display. Depress button (S354)
for 5 seconds to zero or acknowledge, and doubleclick in order to access Caterpillar's fault codes

Diesel engine

Engine speed
The engine speed can be de- or increased by flicking switch S189 upor downwards. By flicking the switch different times, this puts the
N189 connections (Din0-2) in different set of combinations, hence
providing the different engine revolutions, and this is controlled by
the PLC output Y35-Y37 respectively.
PLC can support 8 engine revolutions, and it can store 3 separate
engine speeds, one for tramming, one for rod handling and one for
drilling. The PLC remembers the engine speeds when the rig is being
shut. The speeds can all be set individually within the range specified
below.

with 100 rpm per flick upwards until it reaches the maximum speed of 2200 rpm. It is also possible to
hold the switch for several seconds in order to reach the maximum speed. To decrease the engine
speed from the idling speed, flick the switch once downwards stake down the speed step by step just
like upwards. When changing from tramming position to drilling, the engine speed automatically
increases to engine speed set for drilling and vice versa.

Compressor

Compressor
General
The built-in compressor is a single-stage compressor. Its normal working pressure is 10.5 bar with the
Caterpillar diesel engine.

Compressor unit
The compressor unit comprises two rotors: a drive rotor and a slide rotor mounted on rollers and ball
bearings. The drive rotor is driven by the diesel engine and transfers power to the slide rotor. The
rotors are lubricated with oil that is injected and mixed with the air. This increases efficiency since the
oil forms a seal between the rotor blade and the housing. The compressor unit is an Atlas Copco type
G106 screw compressor. The gear ration is 1.55.

Air flow
The intake air is drawn through the air filter and an over centre valve to the compressor unit. The over
centre valve also prevents oil returning into the system. The air is mixed with injected oil and goes
directly from the compressor to the air receiver. In the air receiver, the majority of the oil is separated
from the air/oil mixture using an oil separator. This oil is removed by a separator unit. The flow of
compressed air passes through a pressure valve to the drill rigs air system. The pressure valve prevents
the pressure in the air receiver dropping below the lowest working pressure for the compressor
(approx. 2.8 bar), even when the air outlet valves are open, to ensure the correct function of the oil
system.

Compressor

Cooling and oil systems


Oil is used for lubrication, sealing and cooling. There is no oil pump with pressure provided by the air
pressure. The lower part of the air receiver acts as an oil tank. The air pressure means that the oil is
transported from the air receiver through the oil cooler and oil filter to the compressor unit. The
compressor unit has an oil platform at the bottom of the sleeve. The oil for rotor lubrication, cooling
and sealing is injected through a hole in this oil platform. The bearings are lubricated by oil injected
into the bearing housing. The air/oil mixture leaves the compressor unit and returns to the air receiver,
where the oil is separated from the air. The oil that is collected at the bottom of the oil separator
returns to the oil system through a cleaning line that has a flow limiter.
Note: A thermostat valve bypasses the oil cooler when the oil is below 70C.

Regulator system
The compressor control system comprises a regulator valve. This valve controls the air volume
supplied by the compressor for air consumption whilst also keeping the working pressure within a
certain range. The control system also includes a load valve that is activated by a switch on the diesel
control panel. The load valve allows the diesel engine to warm up before engaging the compressor.

Instrument and fault indication


The pressure of the compressed air delivered from the compressor can be read from the pressure
gauge. The compressor also has a temperature indicator switch (B366), which automatically provides
indication and displays in plain text on the display that the temperature has risen. The system switches
off the diesel engine if the compressor temperature exceeds +120C.

17

Pumps and pilot pressure

Pumps and pilot pressure


Pump 1
Main pump 1 in the hydraulic system is an axial piston pump with variable displacement that delivers
oil to control the pilot pressure. The pump is pressure compensated, which means that the pressure is
constant irrespective of the flow, so long as the flow is below the maximum capacity of the pump (150
l/min). The pump pressure can be controlled using external pressure valves or the internal pressure
control valve (DR).
The pump delivers hydraulic power to the following functions:
 Percussion
 Feeding
 Feed positioning
 Boom positioning
 Tramming
 RHS system
During drilling, pump 1 is controlled by the actual output pressure.
During tramming, it is connected to an open circuit system with a flow distributor that distributes the
flow equally to left and right tramming motors.

Internal pressure valve


During tramming or positioning the internal
pressure control valve (DR) checks the pump
pressure. The DR valve also limits the max.
working pressure (250 bar) for the pump.

External pressure valve


During drilling, the pump pressure is controlled
by two relief valves for high and low percussion.
These are connected to the pump control system.

DR: Max. pressure


LS: Standby pressure

Pump 1, pressure setting


Checking/determining standby pressure LS
1. Disconnect pilot hose PIX 1 from the LS valve and plug the hose.
2. Connect the text gauge hose to outlet 1 on the test panel.
3. Start the engine and set the speed to 1500 rpm.
4. Set the drilling/tramming switch to drilling.
5. The pressure on the tester should be 20-25 bar.
6. Adjust the LS screw on the pump regulator if required.
7. Switch off the diesel engine and refit hose PIX 1 to the LS valve.
Checking/determining max. pump pressure DR
1. Connect the tester hose to the connection on pump 1.
2. Start the engine and set the speed to 1500 rpm.
3. Set the drilling/tramming switch to drilling.
4. The pressure on the tester should be max. 250 bar.
5. Adjust the DR screw on the pump regulator if required.

18

Pumps and pilot pressure

Pump 2
Pump 2 delivers oil to the rock drills rotation motor. The maximum pump pressure for pump 2 is set
via the relief valve in the drill rotation circuit.

Pump 3 and 4
Pumps 3 and 4 are fitted as a double pump on the diesel engines power take off.
 Pump 3 delivers oil to the dust collectors fan motor during drilling, or to the positioning/winch
circuit during tramming.
During drilling, the pressure of pump 3 can be set on a relief valve in the DCT valve block.
During tramming, the pressure of pump 3 is set constant at 210 bar.
Pump 3 is unloaded at engine start-up.
 Pump 4 drives the cooler motor for cooling the hydraulic oil, compressor oil as well as engines
intake air and cooling water. It also delivers oil to the track oscillation lock mechanism. Pump 4 is
a gear pump and is driven by the power take off on the side of the diesel engine. The pressure of
pump 4 cannot be adjusted but is controlled by the relief valve for the cooling fan. This is set to
160 bar for D5 and 220 bar for D7. This pump is permanently active.

Pilot pressure
The oil that controls the pilot pressure comes from pump 1 and pump 3. The oil is led to the main
drilling block/winch block from respective pump through a pressure reducing valve (set to 35 bar),
through a strainer and out to the pilot circuit.
The oil in the main drilling block is led through solenoid valve Y121, which guides the pilot pressure
either to the drilling or tramming circuit. To protect the pilot system against pressure surges, there is a
pressure limiting valve set to 50 bar. The oil is then led to the solenoid valve Y169, which shuts off the
pilot pressure supply to tramming and impact functions in the event of an emergency stop situation or
when the automatic drill-stop function is used.

Tramming

Tramming
Conditions
The tramming circuit includes functions for activating hydraulic functions that maintain the
tramming circuit and control the hydraulic power to the tramming motors.
Condition for Tramming:
- Drilling/Tramming switch S130 must be in a tramming position.
The pilot pressure is led through solenoid valve Y169, the function of which is to cut the pilot pressure
flow to tramming and impact functions in an emergency. When solenoid valve Y169 is activated, the
oil is led to valve Y121 which then leads the pilot pressure to either the drilling circuit or tramming
circuit. Y121 is controlled by switch S130 (see Fig. 1).
High and low speed can be selected. If low speed is selected, the pilot pressure is led through solenoid
valve Y121 and then to the directional valve in the main drilling block (see Fig. 2). If high speed is
activated, the pilot pressure is led through valve Y122 and on to the valve block for the tramming
motors (see Fig. 4).

Tramming direction and speed is controlled by means of pilot pressure controlling the proportional
directional valves. There directional vavles are controlled by the tramming levers in the cabin
(see Fig. 3).
Tramming direction and speed can also be controlled using the tramming controls on the remote
control box (see chapter Option). These controls send a signal to the control valves (Y206, Y207)
for tramming forward or backward. The pilot pressure alters the position of the directional valves
proportionally. When the remote control box is activated, the tramming controls in the cab are
blocked.

Tramming
The valve block integrated in the tramming motors comprises a reversing valve, pilot brake valve and
a pilot sequence valve for releasing the tramming brake once the motor is pressurized. The pressure
regulator protects the brake cylinder from high pressure. For high-speed tramming, the valves are
activated by the pilot pressure as in the figure below.

Tramming warning
When tramming backwards the pressure switches B174 and B175 gives a signal to the reversing
warning signal (H185, H186) / flash.
The warning signal can also be activated manually by using switch S186.

Hydraulic jack
The rear jack is controlled by switch S209, which energizes solenoid valves Y410A/B. Unlike the
other rigs, it is possible to tram with the rear jack while it is out.

22

Positioning

Positioning
The positioning circuits (including track oscillation circuit) are primarily supplied with oil by pump 1.
Since the tramming circuit is also supplied with oil by pump 1, pump 3 has to be used for positioning
during tramming, even when the rig is standing still in tramming mode. Since pump 1 (250 bar) is
larger and works at a higher pressure than pump 3 (160 bar), positioning is more rapid and powerful
in drilling mode than during tramming. The flow from pump 1 is greater than from pump 3.

Boom and feed positioning


During tramming, pump 3 delivers oil to the positioning circuit. When the rig is in tramming mode,
solenoid valve Y187 is activated. This pressurizes the pump 3 circuit and connects it via a pressure
limiting valve to the positioning circuit (see Fig.). When the rig is not in tramming mode, the
positioning circuit is supplied with oil from pump 1, because pump 3 is then used for supplying the
DCT circuit.
The positioning cylinders are controlled directly from the positioning levers inside the cab. Lever
movement results in valve activation and the pump pressure can pass out to the cylinder.
Positioning can also be handled electrically from the remote control box (see chapter Option).

Positioning

Track oscillation
The track oscillation cylinders are controlled by directional valves Y419 and Y420 via the control
(S176, S177) in the cab. The oscillation cylinders are hydraulically linked by a solenoid valve Y473,
controlled by switch S445. This valve has two positions:
 Open position (floating)
When Y473 is activated, pilot pressure is delivered to the over centre valves. The ratio
between the over centre valves is 1/13, which means that 25 bar is needed for them to permit
oil flow to the cylinders connected in parallel. This position is used for tramming so that
unevennesses in the ground are compensated for between the two cylinders (see Fig.).
 Closed position (locked)
When valve Y473 is inactivated there is no flow between the cylinders (over centre valves are
closed). This valve position is used make the rig stable for drilling.

Oil pre-heating

Oil pre-heating
Pump 2 is used for pre-heating the hydraulic oil. Normal operating temperature of the hydraulic oil is
40C. Before operating the drill rig the oil should be pre-heated to minimum operating temperature,
20C.
When switch S130 is in the pre-heating position, solenoid valve Y120A in the main drill block is
activated. The oil must pass through a 2 mm restriction and create a pressure by the pressure limiting
valve (170 bar). The oil heats up. (See red marker in figure.)

Air flushing modes
Air flushing is controlled by an electrical switch, S100; there are three air flushing modes: reduced,
full and off. These activate the solenoid valves Y116 and Y115. When reduced air flushing is selected
Y115 is switched off and the air flows via Y116 and can then be regulated with a control valve (see
figure).
Flow switch
When full flushing (Y115 and Y116 activated) is selected the flow switch (B142) functions as
protection against clogging the drill bit when drilling through clay or softer layers of rock. The
pressure increases when the bit clogs and the difference over a restrictor decreases. The contact to
B142 will close and drill feed backward is activated via valve Y109 in the drill feed hydraulic circuit.
This is controlled via the PLC.

27

Drilling

Rotation
Condition for rotation:
- Drilling/Tramming switch S130 must be in drilling position PLC/X24-On
- Switch S452 must be in drilling mode PLC/X50-Off
The hydraulic oil for drill rotation is supplied from pump 2. The drill rotation circuit includes
functions for rotation direction and controlling the rotation speed. The anti-jamming system is partly
included in the rotation circuit. That circuit is described later.
Activating the drill rotation function
When the Drilling/Tramming switch S130 is in drilling position, the solenoid valve Y121 is not
activated. This allows the pilot pressure to connect to hydraulic components in the drilling system like
the rotation lever.

 Rotation pressures
The rotation pressure is generated by pump 2. Depending on the direction of rotation, a pressure relief
valve is activated to limit the maximum pressure for anti-clockwise and clockwise rotation
respectively. The maximum pressure for rotation anti-clockwise is limited to 125 bar, and the
maximum pressure of rotation clockwise is limited to 160 bar.

28

Drilling
 Rotation speed
- Anti-clockwise rotation (drilling)
The pilot pressure passes a flow regulator (see Fig.) which regulates the rotation speed. The setting
of the flow regulator controls how much the directional valve will open. The flow to the rock drill
rotation motor is proportional to the opening of the directional valve.
The forward rotation pilot pressure also activates the DPC-I system (For further information, refer
to section DPC-I system under chapter Damper & DPC-I system).
- Clockwise rotation
The drill lever controls the rotation speed. The main directional valve opens in correspondence to
the lever angel. The flow regulator is not connected.

Drill feed
Condition for drill feed:
- Drilling/Tramming switch S130 must be in drilling position PLC/X24-On

The feed circuit is supplied with oil by pump 1 and includes functions for feeding the rock drill cradle
up and down the feed beam and controlling the feed pressure during collaring and drilling (high and
low pressure). The anti-jamming circuit is described seperately.
Activating the drill feed function
When the Drilling/Tramming switch S130 is in drilling position, the solenoid valve Y121 is not
activated. This allows the pilot pressure to connect to hydraulic components in the drilling system like
the feed lever.
 Drill feed direction, up-/downwards
The drill feed sector, position (D) and (F), controls the main
directional valve for drill feed via the LOGIC-2 block.

NOTE: The anti-jamming system can automatically change the


feed direction. See chapter Anti-jamming.
 Main drill block
The pilot operatered directional valve (see Fig.) in the main drill
block, directs the hydraulic power to the feed cylinder. The pilot
operated pressure reducing valve (see Fig.) regulates the feed
working pressure.

 Feed pressures
The feed pressure can be read on pressure gauge in the cab.
Two pressure relief valves (100 and 230 bar) limit the max. pressure to the feed cylinder, downwards
and upwards respectively.
When feedling downwards (drilling), the pressure reducing valve in the main drill block is controlled
by either pressure relief valve for low or high feed pressure respectively (see Fig.). The impact control
switch S446 position determines which valve is controlling the pressure as follow:
o Low feed pressure (collaring)
When switch S130 is in Drilling position, solenoid valve Y101B is activated. This activates
QDS valve E, which allows the low feed pressure relief valve to control the pressure reducing
valve in the main drill block. This is also the case when the impact control switch S446 is in
low impact position.
o High feed pressure (drilling)
When the impact control switch S446 is in high impact position, Y101B is de-activated. This
means that QDS-E is de-activated and the high feed pressure relief valve controls the pressure
reducing valve in the main drill block.
o Feeding upwards
The QDS valve F is activated when feeding upwards. This prevents the two pressure relief
valves for high and low feed pressure to control the feed pressure reducing valve in the main
drill block. In this case the feed pressure is limited by the pressure relief valve for feed
backwards (230 bar) in the rapid feed section of the main drill block.

The percussion circuit includes functions for activating the rock drills percussion mechanisms and
checking the pressure for collaring and drilling (low and high pressure). The percussion pressure is
supplied by hydraulic pump 1. To protect the rock drill and drill steel, the DPC-I system can switch off
or lower the percussion pressure if certain conditions are not fulfilled. The DPC-I system is described
separately.

32

Drilling
Activating percussion
The directional valve in the main drilling block has two functions: to lead the oil to the rock drills
percussion mechanism and to lead the oil to the tramming circuit. The directional valve is controlled
by Y101A via the two QDS valves I and J (see figure below). If the damper pressure is lower than 35
bar, valve QDS-I will close. If the pressure exceeds 120 bar, valve QDS-J will close. These QDS
valves are part of the DPC-I system and sense the rock drills damper pressure. If the damper pressure
does not agree, the valves close to prevent the activation of the directional valve. When the
percussion pressure is activated, the pilot pressure is also led to QDS valve B which permits one of the
pressure relief valves to take control of the pressure of pump 1.
 To activate low percussion, press switch S446A (button to the left) for longer than 0.5
seconds. Press the button one more time for shorter than 0.5 seconds would deactivate
percussion.
 To activate high percussion, press switch S446B (button to the right) for longer than 0.5
seconds under the condition that low percussion is activated first, or percussion would stop.
Otherwise if starting directly on high percussion, the button for high percussion activation
S446B must be held in at all time.
S446A/B controls the activation of solenoid valves Y115, Y116 in the air system, but it is S100 that
controls the combination of Y115 and Y116. Its recommended to keep S100 in full flushing air
position as soon as S446 is activated. S100 should be changed to reduced flushing air position only
when drilling through a weaker complex of the rock layer. S446A/B also control two solenoids valves
in the hydraulic system, Y101A, for activating percussion, Y101B, for activating low percussion.
Percussion pressure
The percussion pressure can be read from the pressure gauge in the cab. The pressure for low and high
percussion can also be adjusted there, see chapter Adjustment/calibration.
 Low percussion pressure (pump 1): QDS valve B is activated once both solenoid valves
Y101A and Y101B have been activated when switch S446 is in position for low percussion.
This connects control line DP for pump 1 to the pressure relief valve for high percussion,
and if QDS valve A is not activated, to the pressure relief valve for low percussion.
In the low percussion position, QDS valve C is active, which prevents QDS valve A being
activated. Subsequently, the pressure relief valve for low percussion controls the pressure of
pump 1.
Note: In the low percussion position, QDS valve E is also activated to ensure low feed pressure.
 High percussion pressure (pump 1): QDS valve B is still activated since solenoid valve
Y101A is ON when switch S446 is activated for high percussion. Since Y101B is OFF, QDS
valve C is no longer activated, which means QDS valve A is controlled by the rock drills
damper pressure (DPC-I system). Normally, the rock drills damper pressure is greater than 50
bar during drilling. This activates QDS valve A which prevents the relief valve for low
percussion from controlling the pump pressure. The pump pressure is instead controlled by the
relief valve for high percussion.
Impact hour counter
The PLC output Y20 gives a signal to the impact hour counter in the main electrical cabinet.

Drilling

Rapid feed
Conditions for the rapid feed functuion:
- Drilling/Tramming switch S130 must be in drilling position PLC/X24-On
- Switch S452 must be in rapid feed/threading mode PLC/X50-On
The rapid feed circuit includes functions for rapidly feeding upwards and downwards, and to stop the
cradle in the correct positions for rod handling. The hydraulic power is supplied from Pump 1.
Activating the rapid feed function
When the Drilling/Tramming switch S130 is in drilling position, the solenoid valve Y121 is not
activated. This allows the pilot pressure to connect to hydraulic components in the drilling system like
the threading/rapid feed lever.
 Rapid feed direction up-/downwards.
The rapid feed sector, positions (D) and (F), controls the main
directional valve for rapid feed via the LOGIC-2 valve block.
The feed speed is proportional to the stroke of the lever.
 Main drill block
The pilot operated directional valve (see Fig.) in the main drill
block, directs the hydraulic power to the feed cylinder. The pilot
operated pressure reducing valve (see Fig.) regulates the feed
working pressure. The pressure relief valves (see Fig.) for rapid
feed (100 and 230 bar) limit the maximum pressure to the feed
cylinder, downwards and upwards respectively.

Rapid feed stops
The rapid feed stop function is controlled by three inductive proximity switches connected to the
PLC.
B122 Rapid feed stop downward just above the drill steel support.
B127 Rapid feed stop upwards, at a position above the RHS magazine, but before mechanical stop.
B126 Rapid feed stop when the coupling sleeve is inside the upper drill steel support (sensor lug A),
and when the rod is in correct position to be inserted into the magazine (sensor lug B).

B122, B126 and B127 are connected to PLC inputs X12, X13 and X14 respectively. Provided these
inputs, the solenoid valves Y149 (upwards) or Y150 (downwards) in the LOGIC-2 valve block are
activated by PLC output Y3 or Y4. Once activated, the rapid feed is stopped for 2 seconds.
If the solenoid valves Y149 or Y150 are activated, the pilot connection between the rapid feed lever
and the directional valve for the corresponding rapid feed direction will be blocked. Consequently the
rapid feed movement stops. Once activated, the rapid feed is stopped for 2 seconds
The input from B126 will only result in a rapid feed stop if switch S113 is in position (a). This is to
allow the rock-drill to be fast fed unstopped to the top when adding a drill steel.

Drilling

Threading
Condition for drill feed:
- Drilling/Tramming switch S130 must be in drilling position PLC/X24-On
- Switch S452 must be in rapid feed/threading mode PLC/X50-On
The threading function is a combined activation of both the feed cylinder and drill rotation motor in a
common sector. The hydraulic force to the feed function is supplied by pump 1 and by pump 2 to the
rotation function.

Activating the threading function


When the Drilling/Tramming switch S130 is in drilling position, the solenoid valve Y121 is not
activated. This allows the pilot pressure to connect to hydraulic components in the drilling system like
the threading/rapid feed lever.
 Threading (Feeding downwards and Rotating CCW)
The rapid feed/threading sector, position (B), controls the main
directional valves for drill feed and rotation via the LOGIC-2
valve block. It will also activate QDS valve G, which connects
the pilot operated pressure reducer with the pressure relief valve
for thread feed forward. The pressure relief valve is set to give a
feed pressure that corresponds to a feed speed that matches the
pitch of the drill steel threads.
When the rotation is activated by the threading lever, the
rotation flow control is excluded from the circuit. This means
that the rotation speed is on full rpm.

Damper and DPC-I system

Damper and DPC-I system


The rock drill's damper circuit is supplied with oil by pump 1 through a constant flow regulator. The
flow regulator is adjusted to a pressure of 35 bars at the damper hose connection on the rock drill.
The damper pressure during drilling indicates the actual feed force on the drill bit. The pressure can be
read off from the pressure gauge in the cab on the rig. During drilling, the damper pressure controls
certain QDS valves, which in turn control the percussion pressure. This is described further under
DPC-I system.

Adjusting damper pressure


The adjustment of damper pressure must take place with the damper piston in floating position. To
ensure that the piston is in floating position the shank adapter must be pulled out as far as possible.
Adjusting damper pressure should not be performed before the hydraulic oil has reached normal
working temperature, 40C (104F).
1. Connect a pressure gauge between the damper hose
connection and the damper hose on the rock drill.
2. Start the diesel engine and let it run at 1500 rpm.
3. Make sure that the shank adapter is fully
withdrawn, i.e. the damper piston is in the floating
position.
4. Set S130 in drilling position.
5. Undo the lock screw (8b) on the knob and adjust
the damper pressure by turning the knob (8a):
clockwise to lower the pressure and anticlockwise
to raise it.
6. Tighten the lock screw once the pressure is correct.

Note: Percussion should be stopped if the damper pressure


exceeds 120 bars or drops below 35 bars.

Figure: Damper pressure

DPC-I system
Function
The DPC-I system (Damper Pressure Controlled Impact) controls the percussion function by sensing
the damper pressure during drilling. Depending on the damper pressure, percussion may be permitted,
stopped or switched between high and low percussion pressure. This is made possible by three
sequence valves (QDS valves) in the rig's hydraulic system.
QDS-I: Blocks the pilot pressure from percussion valve Y101A to the directional valve if the damper
pressure is too low. In this case, the activation of percussion is prevented if the damper pressure is
below 35 bars or percussion stops if the damper pressure drops below 35 bars during drilling in
cavities, a hose ruptures or a valve malfunctions.
QDS-J: Blocks the pilot pressure from percussion valve Y101A to the directional valve if the damper
pressure exceeds 120 bars. This may occur if the feed pressure is abnormally high or if a mechanical
fault arises in the damper.
QDS-A: During normal drilling with high percussion pressure, QDS valve A is activated by the
damper pressure through QDS valve C and D. If the damper pressure drops below 50 bars, QDS-A is
deactivated. This means that the relief valve for low percussion controls the pump pressure instead of
the relief valve for high percussion pressure.

38

Damper and DPC-I system


Warning! Incorrect adjustment of the DPC-I system may damage the rock drill, rig and drill steels.
Adjustment should only be made by a qualified technical engineer from Atlas Copco.
Setting the DPC-I system
The DPCI system can be adjusted either in the workshop or on the drill site. Adjusting in the
workshop generally gives a more exact setting. On the other hand, adjusting during drilling can result
in a setting well adapted to the rock conditions and other system settings.
In general, QDS-I should be set as high as possible without making it difficult to start impact.

Check that the damper pressure is adjusted according to Adjusting the damper pressure.
Start drilling on low impact pressure and collaring feed pressure.
Adjust the feed pressure slowly towards 0 while observing the damper pressure gauge.
When the damper pressure drops below 35 bar as a result of the low feed pressure, impact should be
stopped automatically.
If needed, adjust QDS-I CW to increase the setting or CCW to decrease it.
Test the function by starting drilling on low impact pressure and collaring feed pressure. When the drill
cradle comes to a stop against the mechanical end stop, impact should shut of immediately. If not, the
setting of QDS-I should be increased.

NOTE! The setting of QDS-I should be the highest possible without making it difficult to start impact.
This means that high collaring feed and damper pressures calls for a higher setting of QDS-I.

NOTE! During this adjustment there is an increased risk of getting stuck in the hole due to the
increased feed pressure.
NOTE! In soft rock conditions it can be difficult to force the damper pressure high enough. In this
case the damper pressure regulator can be adjusted temporarily to 120 bar.

Damper and DPC-I system


Related QDS valves
QDS-D: Activated by the pilot signal for drill rotation. In other words, the DPC-I only works when
drill rotation is active. When valve QDS-D is closed to damper pressure, it is open to the control line
(DP) for pump 1. This means that the DP pressure pilot controls QDS-A, which closes the pressure
control valve for low percussion. System pressure P1 is thus controlled by the pressure control valve
for high percussion.
QDS-C: Activated via Y101B (S130 in drilling position or low percussion being activated) or with
reverse feed. This facilitates control of percussion pressure via the pressure control valve for low
pressure.

Protective protections

Protective protections
Anti-jamming
The anti-jamming protection is an automatic monitoring function that is always active during drilling.
The anti-jamming function is activated by high rotation pressure or lack of air flushing flow during
drilling.

Logic function of the lever


Since the anti-jamming inverts the feed direction, pulling the drill lever for feeding backwards would
result in feed forward movement. To avoid this there is a pressure switch, B262, connected to the pilot
pressure line for feed backwards. B262 is connected to PLC input X33, which, when active, inhibits
the anti-jamming output Y2.
Function
When the anti-jamming protection is activated, the rock drill backs off until the jamming conditions
with regard to rotation pressure (B134) and air flushing (B142) cease to exist. The rock drill backs off
until the rotation pressure returns to the permitted value (80 bars) or the air flushing is activated.

direction of feed is activated.

RPCF
Function
RPCF controls the feed pressure to maintain a constant rotation pressure (torque). If the rotation
pressure exceeds an adjustable nominal value, the RPCF valve will be opened and the feed pressure
reduced proportionally via the pressure control valve for low feed pressure. The feed pressure will
always lie between the values for low feed pressure and high feed pressure.

Note: The ECL pump works with a delay of 60 seconds after S100 or the percussion is switched off
after drilling.
ECL pump Y106 starts to pump as soon as the air flushing is turned on. The pump receives pulses
from the ECL module in the electric cabinet. Lubrication oil is then fed through a small plastic hose
inside the air hose to the rock drill, where the oil and air are mixed. The lubrication pressure gauge is
located on the pressure control panel.

is that the suction is then switched off (Y21/Off) by using switch S100 or S446, which mean that all
filters are cleaned at the same time. If suction is on (Y21/ON), and just by closing the DCT hatch
(S181/OFF) would not result in cleaning of the filters. This is considered when drilling into water,
when drilling still needs to be continued, but cleaning is not wanted before drilling ends.

The air supply to the DCT is limited to 7.5 bars by a pressure reducing valve. The solenoid valves
Y251A-C are opened at the same time to clean the DCT filters. Dust collection starts when the air

position ON and S446 is in reduced or full air flushing position, which in turn activates solenoid valve
Y253 (DCT hatch) (See Fig.).

HQS (Hole Quality System)

HQS (Hole Quality System)


This document only covers the interface between the HQS system and the rig system. For detailed
information of the HQS system, refer to the HQS section in the Operators manual.

HQS is a complete system for gradient measurement, hole depth measurement on bench drill rigs.
There are three kinds of HQS equipments to choose from.
HQS 10 - Complete instrument for hole inclination measurement.
HQS 11 - Complete instrument for measuring angles, hole depth and drilling rate. Hole depth
measurement.
HQS 12 - Complete instrument for measuring angles, hole depth and drilling rate from laser reference.
The HQS system is linked to the rig system for power supply, activation of the drill stop function and
definition of impact / rodhandling.

Power supply
The power supply for the HQS unit is connected to terminal X1/50 (24V) and X1/100 (Ground) in the
A1 electrical cabinet.
Drill stop activation
The HQS supports a function to automatically stop the impact when a predefined drill depth is
reached. The HQS electronic unit sends a 24V signal to activate the relay K169. When K169 is
activated, its contact 12 11 opens with the result that the main pilot pressure solenoid valve Y169 is
de-activated, blocking the pilot pressure from reaching the rest of the system. Consequently, all pilot
pressure operated functions are shut off until the HQS is reset.
Impact definition
The impact definition signal is connected to the PLC output for the impact hour counter, Y20. The
HQS uses this signal to calculate penetration rate per rod.
Rod handling
During rod handling, the HQS pauses the drill depth measuring. This means that negative distance
created when backing up to add a new rod is not taken into consideration by the instrument.
The start of the pause is defined by a signal coming from a pressure switch, B128. B128 is activated
by pilot pressure when unthreading the shank adapter from the rod.
The end of the pause is defined by a signal coming from switch S119 when opening the upper drill
steel support.

48

RHS, Rod handling system

RHS, Rod handling system


General
The functions for the different rod handling movements
are controlled manually from the left-hand panel on the
seat. All actuation signals run via the PLC out to the
respective valve for the RHS functions (see figure below).
There are a number of sensors on the feed beam which
then gauge the activity in the system and send signals in to
the PLC (see the explanation of how the sensors work at
the end of this section).

System pressure
Max. pressure for the rod handling circuit is determined by
a pressure reducing valve at 200 bars. There is also a
separate pressure regulating valve to the suction hood (40
bars) to prevent the cylinder breaking and one for the grip
function (10 bars) which limits the pressure for loose
grip (see hydraulic diagram).

Carousel rotation is controlled by valves Y303A and B. Valve Y303A controls clockwise rotation and
valve Y303B anticlockwise rotation. Two restrictors limit the rotation speed (see hydraulic diagram).
Sensors detect whether rotation is clockwise or anticlockwise. Sensor B183 detects clockwise rotation
and sensor B182 anticlockwise rotation.

RHS, Rod handling system


The following is a short explanation of how the sensors work on the ROC D-TH:
 B118 senses when the rod handing arm is
in the carousel. This sensor must be activated to
enable percussion during drilling.
 B122 This sensor protects the drill steel from
being hit by the rock drill cradle during taking
up the drill string.

B316
B127

 B126 is activated when the rock drill cradle is in


position for unthreading the rod in the upper
position and for unthreading the rock drill so
that the drill steel can be entered into the
carousel.

B126

 B127 is activated when the rock drill cradle is in


the highest position on the feed beam. This is the
position for moving out a new drill steel from
the carousel out to drill centre. Used mainly
during drilling to prevent the rock drill cradle
from crashing against mechanical stop.

H323

 B182 is activated when the carousel rotation to


the gripper (anticlockwise) has stopped in the
correct position for taking a drill steel out to drill
centre.
 B183 is activated when the carousel rotation
from the gripper (clockwise) has stopped in the
correct position for fitting a new drill steel in the B118
carousel from drill centre.

The water mist system is used to stabilise the drilled hole when drilling through loose and porous rock
by adding water to the air flushing. In general a small amount of water is used to dampen the cuttings
and bind them together into larger particles, for dust control, or to bind the dust to the hole wall to
obtain better hole stability. The quantity of water is controlled by two directional valves and a flow
regulator, as follows:
 Full water supply is only used at short intervals to flush the water on dry clay to obtain sludge
which can be used for better stabilisation. The directional valve Y112B is open/activated.
 The watermist system: When directional valve Y112A is open and Y112B is closed, the amount of
water is controlled by an adjustable throttle valve (see figure).
 OFF: Both directional valves, Y112A and Y112B, are closed.

If a larger quantity of water needs to be added, for example when reaching a pocket of clay, full water
flushing can be selected (S448) on the right-hand control panel. To avoid suction hoses and dust
collector filters clogging during the use of the water mist system the DCT must be switched off when
the dust is very wet or if water is spurting up from the hole.

 Make sure the winch switch is in the correct position (S172).
 Use the winch motor switch (S173) to reel the cable in and out.
Or
 The winch can be automatically activated by using the tramming levers on the remote control box.
See the operator's manual for instructions on activation and deactivation
The winch's hydraulic circuit includes functions for reeling in and out the cable, regulating the pulling
force of the winch and release of the winch brake.
The system has a protection device that protects the winch in the event of a fault. This is controlled by
relay S464. When the protection device is activated (CCU/114-On), the winch in signal CCU/203 is
blocked. Only the winch out function is possible

Winch block
The winch's hydraulic circuit includes functions for reeling in and out the cable, regulating the pulling
force of the winch and release of the winch brake and plunger. The block comprises solenoid valve
Y209 (controls brake disc release), Y215 (activates tramming with winch), Y224 (controls the winch
plunger), two pressure relief valves that limit the maximum pressure (125 bar), a remote-controlled
proportional pressure relief valve (Y214) for controlling the pulling force, and Y208A (winch in) and
Y208B (winch out) which are control valves for the directional valve.
Solenoid valves Y208A and B control the directional valve (see figure) as follows:

Unreeling the cable: Solenoid valve Y208B and brake release valve Y209 are activated
simultaneously by switch S173 on the remote control box. Unwinding can also be done manually with
switch S500, which activates valve Y224 to release the winch plunger.
Reeling in the cable: Solenoid valve Y208A and brake release valve Y209 are activated
simultaneously, either manually by using switch S173 or automatically which happens when the rig is
trammed from the remote control box.
 Manual: Switch S173 activates the valves abovementioned valves and closes the flow to the
proportional relief valve Y215. Subsequently, the pressure is being limited to 125 bar by one
of the pressure relief valve. (See figure)
 Automatic: Solenoid valves Y208A and Y209 are activated automatically when the tramming
lever on the remote control box is operated (forward or backward). Valve Y215 is activated
for tramming with the winch. A counter pressure builds up (manually set on Y214 + spring
force) that helps open pressure relief valve (A) to the tank. The pressure is then determined by
the remote controlled proportional pressure relief valve (Y214). This relief valve is adjusted
manually with the potentiometer on the remote control box.

Options

Extraction unit (option)


The extractor unit is used when the rock conditions vary a lot and there is a large risk of jamming. The
function of the extractor unit is to provide reverse percussion to the shank adapter and thus the drill
sting and drill bit. The shank adapter for rock drills equipped with an extractor unit has a special
flange that receives the reverse percussion force. Since the shank adapter is pressed into the rock drill
by the feed force during normal drilling, it works without the flange meeting the extractor piston.

Conditions for extraction unit:


 The rig must be in drilling mode.
 Percussion must be activated.
For the extraction unit to be activated the above conditions must be fulfilled. When there is a risk of
drill jam, activate drill feed backward. The pilot pressure then activates the QDS-L valve and the
pump pressure is directed via a restrictor valve (2,0) to the extraction unit. (See figure)

Function
The drill steel threads are lubricated with two brushes (A) located on the lower part of the feed beam,
between the carousel and drill steel support. The drill steel passes these prior to threading.

The grease is supplied by a pump placed in the front of the wagon frame. The pump is powered by
compressed air from the rigs compressor and controlled through solenoid valve Y552.
Activation of Y552 can be done either automatically or manually and is controlled by the switch S449
on the diesel panel.

Operation
 Under normal conditions, the system operates automatically. The
lubricant pump is activated when the rod handling process is in
position to move a drill steel to drill centre (tight grip). The result is
that every time a drill steel is removed from the carousel, a quantity
of lubricant is pumped into the brushes that the threads of the drill
steel pass through.
 If further lubrication is required, the system can be operated
manually. In such a case, the lubricant pump is activated so long as
the switch S449 is kept in position (a).
 If thread lubrication is not required, the system can be switched off
by putting switch S449 in position (c).
The maximum pressure to the pump is adjusted to 7.5 bars by the
pressure regulator 3. (See right figure) The system can be switched off
by blocking the air supply with ball cock valve 8 or by the electrical
switch on the diesel panel.
We recommend the use of Atlas Copco Secoroc thread lubricant A for
the lubrication of drill steel threads.

The second condition is Y21 must be then be OFF (DCT hatch closed) by having one of: X25, X26,
X27, X30 OFF. Just by switching off S181 will not start DCT cleaning; in other words, to start DCT
cleaning, drilling must be deactivated. If DCT hatch is not ON from the beginning (Y21/OFF), then no
cleaning will be achieved at all.

To activate impact, press S446A for longer than 0.5 sec, pressing the button once more for shorter
than 0.5 sec would deactivate impact/flushing and the lever returns to the neutral position.
Diode H446 gives blinking signals when drilling with low impact.
Note: It is possible to start percussion while rapid feeding backwards (if the rig is equipped with a
extractor), in that case S446A must be held in at all time and only low percussion will be available.
This is typically the case when cleaning the hole.
