3.7.3. Tramming from the tramming platform

D Oscillation locking is usually released while tramming.

D Tramming is controlled using the tramming control levers.

D The carrier hydraulic system is connected so that the left and right tracks are
controlled by the left and right control levers, respectively.

D There are two tramming speeds, fast tramming (rabbit symbol) and slow tramming;
one selects the appropriate one with the selector valve on the control panel.
Basically, fast tramming is used when the tramming conditions are good. Slow
tramming is used for moving from one hole to another and moving over difficult
terrain.

D The rig starts moving when both tramming control levers are pushed slowly
forward. The tramming speed is determined by the position of the levers. To reach
the maximum speed, push the levers forward as far as they will go. When you want
to reverse, pull the levers toward you.

D If fast tramming speed feels ineffective, move the tramming control levers to their
middle positions and select the slow tramming speed with the selector valve.

D If you want to turn right when tramming forward, push the left tramming control
lever forward and centre the right--hand lever.

D A sharper turn can be made when the left lever is pushed forward and the right lever
pulled back. For this operation, the selector valve must be in the slow tramming
position.

D The oscillation of the tracks can be locked individually with the selector valve.

When tramming on uneven terrain, use the oscillation to keep the rig as level as possible.
This ensures the proper lubrication of the engine and optimal balance for the rig.
If only one track runs over an obstacle, keep the rig balanced through oscillation. Avoid
sharp drops from the top of the obstacle.

3.7.5. Stopping
D The rig is equipped with two tramming gears driven by hydraulic motors and
including spring--loaded multi--disc brakes released by hydraulic pressure. The
system is connected in such a way that the brakes are switched on automatically
whenever the tramming control levers are centred. The brakes are released
automatically when the tramming motors receive pressure.
D The tramming control levers should not be centred too quickly when the rig is
moving.

3.9.1. Principles of percussion drilling

PERCUSSION

FEED
ROTATION

Percussion drilling has four main func-

tions:

D Percussion, which makes the

drill bit penetrate the rock.
FLUSHING D Feed, which keeps the drill bit in
tight contact with the rock.
D Rotation, which turns the drill bit
to a new position before the next
percussion.
D Flushing, which removes the
cuttings and cools the drilling
equipment.

The percussion energy created by the rock

drill piston is transferred to the rock through
the drilling equipment.

CHA 700
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Percussion

The percussion power is generated by

the percussion force, the percussion
frequency, and the drill bit’s penetration.
The percussion power is conveyed to
the rock through the drilling equipment.
Percussion power can be directly
controlled by using percussion
pressure.

One basic issue in drilling is the ability

to transfer energy. Only a maximum of
a certain amount of kinetic energy can
be transferred using drilling equipment
of a certain size. When the equipment’s
ability to transfer energy is exceeded,
equipment damage increases rapidly.

The percussion power used depends

on the quality of the rock to be drilled. If
the rock is soft, a lower percussion
pressure can be used. If the rock is
hard, a higher percussion pressure is
used.

Setting the percussion pressure always

involves a compromise between
penetration rate and equipment
durability.

CHA 700
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Feed

The purpose of the feed is to keep the shank

tightly connected to the rock drill and the drill
bit tightly connected to the rock.

When the percussion pressure is increased,

the feed pressure must also be increased.
The correct feed power depends on the
percussion pressure, rock conditions, hole
depth, and the size and type of the drilling
equipment.

Broken rock should be drilled using low

percussion pressure and low feed pressure.

The correct feed pressure can be determined

by watching and listening.
OBSERVE the following things:
-- The constant progressive move-
ment of the rock drill (the feed cradle
should not shake)
-- Constant rotation of the rock drill
(constant RPM)
-- Tight shank connection (the con-
nection should not overheat / turn
blue / smoke)
-- constant penetration
LISTEN to the following things:
-- Constant drilling sound (no rattling
or shaking sounds)

Excessive feed power does not increase

penetration – it only increases drill bit wear
and causes irregularity in the drilled holes,
and it bends the rod, causing unusually high
rotation pressures.

Inadequate feed power leads to the drill bit

not staying in contact with the drilled rock.
This causes the percussion energy to be
reflected back to the drilling equipment,
causing damage to the equipment, the rock
drill, and the feed cradle.

CHA 700
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Rotation

The main purpose of rotation is to turn

the drill bit to a new position after each
percussion. The correct rotation speed
depends on the form and diameter of
the drill bit, hole depth, rock condition,
and the other main functions of drilling.

Inadequate rotation speed causes

energy loss (the cuttings are ground too
finely) and leads to poor penetration.

Excessive rotation speed causes rapid

wear of the drill bit because the rock
gets broken by the rotation, not by the
percussion. Excessive rotation speed
also leads to the tightening of threaded
connections, which causes problems for
the opening of those threads.

Flushing

The purpose of flushing is to remove

the cuttings from the drill shaft and to
cool the drill equipment. The flushing air
is carried to the bottom of the hole
through the rod hole and the holes in
the drill bit. The mixture of flushing air
and cuttings is guided out through the
hole, through the space between the
rod and the wall of the hole.

Poor flushing leads to low penetration

(cuttings are ground at the bottom of
the hole), to short drilling equipment
service life (the risk of rod jamming is
increased), and to rapid wear of the drill
bit.

3.9.2. Shank lubrication

The purpose of the shank lubrication is to lubricate the rock drill’s rotation mechanism and
its shank. The oil/air mixture is led from the lubrication unit to the rock drill by a compressed
air hose. The compressed air distributes the oil to the lubrication points.
The amount of oil/air mixture is adjusted with the valve (1). The flow of oil can be monitored
through the inspection glass (2). Empty the water separator (3) daily.

The extension rod has an identical thread

in both ends. The rod length is usually
10–12 feet (300–360 cm).

MF rod

MF rods have a male thread in one end

and a female thread in the other. Lengths
as with extension rods.

Tube equipment

The tube equipment is threaded as the

extension rods are. The tube equipment
features large flushing holes. Guide tubes
are used for difficult rock conditions.

Drill bits

The button drill bit is the most commonly

used bit type. It has a good penetration
rate, and it is durable and easy to sharp-
en.
There are various types of button drill
bits, each suited for different rock condi-
tions.

3.9.6. Positioning and support

Lock the oscillation before positioning the

boom. In positioning, the feed is lifted up
with the feed extension cylinder to get the
boom’s supporting point as low as possible.
The boom zoom is run slightly out. This
ensures a sufficient alignment margin in
both directions.

The position is adjusted to near the correct

position without lowering the stinger to the
ground. The angle is left slightly less than
the desired angle since the feed angle will
change when the feed is pushed down and
the rig is supported in drilling position. The
final position is set with the boom lift
cylinder and/or feed extension cylinder to
ensure that sufficient weight is applied to
the stinger. Note that when drilling at a
slope, the feed must be positioned
downslope.

If the position of the boom is changed while

the stinger is in the ground, two opposite
movements must always be operated at
the same time (for example, zoom and tilt
cylinder, feed swing cylinder and boom
swing cylinder) to avoid unnecessary
stress on the structures.
The correct position of the rig is realised via
triangular three--point support where the
stinger of the feed acts as the third
supporting point. The rear sections of the
tracks, or the jack with one track, form the
other supporting points.

The tramming control levers must be in their middle position. Make sure
that nobody touches the levers.

underfeed, the drilling sound changes to a jingling noise due to loose drill rod joints.
If overfed, the rock drill and feed chain move jerkily. A substantial overfeed can cause the
hole or even the drill rods to bend.
Both overfeed and underfeed cause the rod string joints to heat up, and damage rod
threads.
When drilling, check that the cuttings are coming out of the hole perfectly.
If necessary, clean the hole by running the rock drill back and forth with the forced flushing
on. Pay attention to the flushing air pressure while drilling. An increase in flushing pressure
usually indicates a clogged drill bit (flushing does not clean the hole). If the amount of
cuttings coming from the hole decreases or even reaches zero, drilling should be
continued with extreme care and the hole should be blown out often. Run the rock drill up,
preferably without percussion.

3.9.9. Drilling parameters

The level and ratio of percussion pressure, feed power, and rotation speed vary according
to the rock type being drilled and the hole size. Drilling parameters must be adjusted
whenever the drilling conditions change. The following tables presents the standard
drilling pressure as well as typical parameter adjustment errors and their consequences.
Use the tables for adjustments.

ERROR CONSEQUENCE

Feed power too -- Rotation falters (presents as uneven rotation

high pressure).
-- Rotation moment increases (presents as an increase
in rotation pressure) and causes overstrain on the
drilling equipment and the rock drill rotation
mechanism.
NOTE! Increased rotation pressure may also be
caused by a bent drill rod or other abnormal rotation
resistance.
-- The drill rod bends, the centralisers and chuck wear
down, and the risk of the piston hitting the rod shank
at an angle is increased.
-- The sound of the rock drill changes.
FEED

NOTE! INCREASING FEED POWER EXCESSIVELY

Feed power too low -- The rock drill jumps and shakes (clinking sound).
-- Excessive wear occurs to the front end of the chuck
and the drill rod sleeve.
-- The rock drill’s jointing surfaces wear down
(shortened service interval).
-- The penetration rate decreases. The rock drill is not
in the correct position when the piston strikes. This
means that only a small proportion of the percussion
power is conveyed to the rock.
-- The service life of the drilling equipment decreases
(equipment exhibits high tensile stress).

The purpose of the flushing automatics is to prevent the drill rods from jamming -- for
example, when the drill hits a clay layer. The system monitors the amount of air flowing
through the drill bit. If the air flow decreases enough (the bit is clogged), the feed reverses
and lifts the rod string until the air flow reaches its normal level.
