Next Generation Rocket Boomer

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
24
Next Generation Rocket Boomer

Rock Drill and Drill String Safeguard System
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
Anti - Jamming automatics
