Rock drills for tough conditions

2010-08-20

New heavy duty rock drills from Atlas Copco for face drilling underground in tough conditions.

Reporting for duty: COP 1800HD from the new heavy duty series, designed for face and long-hole drilling in the hole range 38–64 mm.

Atlas Copco has launched three new heavy duty versions of its COP 1800 series hydraulic rock drills, specially designed for face drilling underground in tough conditions. The newcomers – COP 1638HD, COP 1838HD and COP 2238HD – feature a new side bolt design that minimizes the risk of impact piston miss-alignment and secondary damage to internal parts. This design also improves
serviceability.

Peter Bray, Product Manager, says: “We have been field testing them under extremely demanding conditions and they have all performed beyond expectation.”
