Hydraulic system, general

General
The hydraulic system on the PowerROC T50 is an electrical and pilot pressure controlled system. The
system comprises 5 hydraulic pumps. Hydraulic pumps 1 and 3 are driven by the diesel engine via a
“Rear Engine Power Take Off” pump drive gear box system. The remaining pumps (2, 4and 5) are
driven by the diesel engine via the other “Rear Engine Power Take Off” pump drive gear box system.

Pilot pressure
The pilot pressure is generated in the distribution valve block. This pressure supplies the drilling
block's directional valves with oil. This pilot pressure also supplies the tramming block’s directional
valves with oil and the directional valves for high-speed tramming.

 General – PowerROC T50

Return oil and oil cooler

The Hydraulic oil tank has a capacity of 380 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 is one main filter 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 40ºC and directly to the tank when the temperature is below 40ºC. 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 50°C. The cooling fan is driven by a hydraulic motor that is supplied with oil by pump 4.
The pressure of the fan motor is limited by a pressure relief valve. The working pressure is controlled
by the load condition. There are two speeds for this cooling system. When the hydraulic oil
temperature is above 60ºC, the fan motor is driven by the full flow. When it’s below 60ºC, the fan
speed is low, which can be adjusted by a throttle valve. The control system regulates the pressure and
the speed depending on the cooling demands.

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-Leakage 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. When
the hydraulic oil level is lower than the first level glass, the warn light will be on in the cabin.

Temperature sensor (B362) sense the hydraulic oil temperature and the temperature will be shown
on the gauge in the cabin. The engine will shut down automatically if the hydraulic oil
temperature exceeds 80ºC.
The drain cock is used to remove water of condensation or to empty the hydraulic oil tank.

Electrical system general

General
PowerROC T50 is equipped with a 24-volt electrical system for monitoring and fault
indication, electric power is also used for controlling a number of hydraulic and pneumatic
valves. The composition of the electrical system is illustrated in the electrical diagram.

Battery charging
Power supply to the electrical system consists of two, series-connected 12 volt / 200 Ah
batteries. These are charged by a 3-phase A/C alternator. The batteries are connected to the
system by a manually operated battery switch.

Main fuse
The feed to the electrical system is fused by a 100A main fuse (Fuse 22).

Seat switch
The seat switch is a protective measure when drilling from the safe view. If the seat switch
B379 is open (it means that the operator leaves the seat), the delay time relay will be off after
12s.This time can’t be adjusted. The result is that RLY7 is off, and then feed, percussion,
rotation RHS can’t work but keep the air for flushing and DCT, because the compressor is
still loaded (Y210A is activated).

Note: When the operator is back to the seat, the Drill/Tram mode switch S130 should be reset
Otherwise, the relevant drilling functions will be not obtained. Because the drilling control
relays and switches can’t reset themself.

PCB（Print circuit board）

On PCB, there are 21 breakers which include 10A, 15A, 30A to limit the current intensity to
the different sub-circuits and 18 relays to active different functions. The action signals from
the switches or joysticks in the cabin are transferred to PCB, then to active the corresponding
relays or valves.

 Control panel
ECM (Caterpillar)
Electronic Control Module is used for monitoring the engine’s functions and sensors. It
receives analogue and digital information from the engine. The information is processed and
transferred in J1939 protocol. 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.

The power source consists of two 12V/200Ah batteries connected in series and an alternator.
Before the battery switch is switched on, there is no power to the electrical system. When the
battery switch is switched on, there is power supply to ECM, engine heater. Power is also
supplied to the starter motor, but the switch is triggered by the starter motor relay K5.

When the key switch S139 is on the ignition position, power is supplied to the emergency
stop circuit and engine power view, if the emergency stops are intact, relay RLY6 gets
activated. Power is now supplied to the ECM (70), working lights/wiper and air condition.

When the key switch S139 is in the start position the diesel engine is started via starter motor
and starter motor is powered by relay RLY1 which is activated if the conditions for starter
motor are fulfilled.

ECM is supplied with power both before and after ignition. The difference is, before ignition,
ECM is powered to boot its memory, but its monitoring functions are not started at this level.
Only after the key switch S139 is in the ignition position, ECM starts working properly.

If any of the emergency stops is activated, it will deactivate switch RLY6, number 44 point on
the ECM will connect ground, causing all the functions at the ignition level except power
view and engine gauge, since they are connected parallel with the emergency stop circuit. The
engine can’t start normally .Turn the key switch S139 back to on position before re-start.

Note: The electrical system’s ground cables are not isolated by the main switch. This means
that the system consumes a small current even when no functions are activated.

Control panel
The control panel is comprised of several rock switches. It controls the working lights, wiper
and air conditioner.

After the key switch S139 is in the ignition position, the working lights, wipers are powered
with 24 V via fuses CB8, CB9, CB10. The air conditioner is not controlled by ignition key
switch, once the battery switch S300 is on; the air conditioner is powered with 24 V via fuses
CB21.

13
 Diesel engine

Diesel engine
The engine on PowerROC T50 is a turbocharged, water cooled C9.3 diesel engine from
Caterpillar. Rated power at 1800 rpm is 261 kW.

Battery switch, ON
When the battery switch is switched on there is 24V to:
¾ Diesel engine heater.
¾ Electric fuel pump
¾ The generator is connected.
¾ ECM is also powered, but the communication between ECM and rest of the system has
not yet started.
¾ Rear camera
¾ Air conditioner
¾ Compressor regulation valve heating

Ignition position
When the key switch S139 is in the ignition position, the relay RLY6 and RLY10 are
activated under the conditions that the emergency stops and the temperature sensors are intact.
At the same time, the working lights and wiper are supplied via RLY8, RLY9 and RLY10.

Start position
Conditions for activation of starter motor:
¾ Fuse22 and CB14 are intact.
¾ Key switch S139 in start position
¾ Model Switch S130 in the idle position
When all the above conditions are fulfilled, this will result in:
¾ Start relay K5 is activated and the relay contact is closed, hence activating starter motor,
i.e. engine is cranking.

Conditions for starting the diesel engine:

Note: This step is already carried out when the ignition key is in ignition position.
¾ Compressor temperature is lower than 120°C
¾ Hydraulic oil temperature is lower than 80°C
¾ Emergency stops S132A, S132B, S132C, S132D and S132E are not triggered
If the conditions above are fulfilled:
¾ RLY6 activated, enables engine start.

14
 Diesel engine
When key switch S139 is turned to the
start position and the engine fails to start,
check which symbols are displayed and e-stop & sensors
rectify the fault. Turn the key back to RLY6
position off before trying again.

ECM overview S139 2

(ECM 44)

key
ECM is functional when the battery switch ECM
Battery ON
is closed (1) and ECM 44 must be not 1
3
activated (2). In order for condition (2) to
be fulfilled, contact RLY6 must be closed, S300
i.e. all the emergency stops are intact. The
last condition for starting the engine is that CAT
sensors
the Caterpillar sensors (3) must be
working normally. Loss of condition (3) Batteries
will automatically shuts down the engine.

Loss of condition (2) due to activation of any of the emergency stops or sensors shuts down
the engine, ECM, but the engine power view, working lights/wiper, and air condition are still
working. Manually switching off the ignition key will shut down all the above mentioned
functions including the engine power view. To cut off ECM power supply completely, dis-
engage the battery switch.

Engine speed

The engine speed can be de- or increased by turning switch S189 left- or right. The signal is
sent to the ECM through J1939 protocol. The ECM will control the engine to output three
revolutions, 1200RPM, 1400RPM and 1800RPM.

The engine starts on idling speed 1200 rpm, turning the mode switch S130 to tramming mode,
the engine speed will be 1200RPM, if turning the mode switch S130 to drilling mode, the
engine speed will be also 1200RPM, when activate the percussion switch S807, the
percussion RLY 2 is powered and then the throttle RLY 2 is powered, ECM receives two
engine speed signal, one is 1400RPM, the other is 1800RPM. Because the priority of
1400RPM is setted higher than 1800RPM inside of ECM, the engine will output
1400RPM.Once the switch S803 is switched to the full air/DCT off or full air/DCT position,
the 1400RPM signal line is deactivated, the engine speed automatically increases to 1800rpm.

Control instrumentation
The ECM controls and monitors all engine data and diagnostic information from the diesel
engine. This information is sent to the engine power view, where all the necessary engine
informations are presented.

Switches and sensors that automatically and manually stop the diesel
engine
Automatically stopping (or shutting down) the diesel engine does not mean that the whole
system also goes off. All functions at the ignition position are still working. To shut down the
whole system including the power view, turn the key switch back to the off position.

Manual:
¾ Key switch (S130)
¾ Emergency stop (S132A,S132B,S132C,S132D and S132E)

Automatic:
These are indicated by warning information on the engine power view or read on the gauge
and switch the engine off automatically.

¾ Compressor oil temperature

The temperature sensors send a signal to RLY6. If the temperature has reached 120°C, this
will result in a loss of RLY6. ECM 44 gets off grounded and shuts down the engine.

¾ Hydraulic oil temperature

16
 Diesel engine
The temperature sensor sends a signal to RLY6. If the temperature has reached 80°C, this
will result in a loss of RLY6. ECM 44 gets off grounded and shuts down the engine.

¾ Engine oil pressure

The engine oil pressure sensor is part of the Caterpillar system and connected to ECM. Should
abnormal pressure occur, ECM shuts down the engine. This pressure is shown on the engine
power view.

¾ Engine coolant temperature

The engine coolant temperature sensor is part of the Caterpillar system and connected to ECM.
At 107°C ECM shuts down the engine after 10 seconds and a warning is shown on the engine
power view. This temperature is shown on the engine power view.

¾ Engine over speed

The engine over speed switch is part of the Caterpillar system and connected to ECM. If the
engine speed reaches 2800 rpm, a warning is shown on the display after 1 second and ECM
shuts down the engine.

Pumps & Pilot Pressure

Pump 1 and Pump 2
Pump 1 and 2 are the main pump in the hydraulic
system of PowerROC T50. Both are the axial piston
pumps with a variable displacement. The pump is
flow compensated, which means that the flow is
maintained constant irrespective of the load. The
pump pressure can be controlled by pressure control
valve (250 bar).

DR: Max. pressure

LS: Standby pressure

“P max” valve (250 bar)

The “P max” valve located on the pump limits the maximum pump output pressure. It’s
usually not necessary to change the setting on “P max”, this way “P max” would not interfere
with the LS signal.

Pump 1 and Pump 2 pressure settings

¾ Checking / Setting the stand-by pressure (20 bar).
1. Start the engine.
2. Make sure no functions are activated, so the rig stands still.
3. Pressure gauge 1 on the service panel connected to pump 1 pressure line should show
about 20 bar.

18
 Cooling fans
4. Adjust this flow control valve set screw on the pump regulator if necessary.

¾ Checking / Setting the maximum pump pressure (250 bar).

1. Start the engine.
2. Make sure no functions are activated.
3. Screw the flow control valve valve (20 and 17 bar) to its end position, so it would not limit
the system pressure produced by pump 1.
4. Screw the pressure control valve (250 bar) set screw clockwise (if the pressure is too low)
or anti-clockwise (if the pressure is too high), while watching gauge until it reads 250 bar.
5. When this is done, re-adjust the screw on flow control valve (20 and 17 bar) until the
gauge reads 20 bar and 17 bar, to get back to its normal setting.

Pumps 3
Pump 3 is a gear pump, this gear pumps is combined with pump1. Its reference pressure is
180bar. It supplies oil to DCT fan motor and hydraulic oil pre-heating valve.
When the model switch S130 in neutral position and the hydraulic oil pre-heating switch S131 is
activated, the solenoid valve Y120 will be activated and hydraulic oil will be heated.

See full diagram for other parts

When the engine starts normally and the model switch S130 is in drilling position and the switch
S803 is switched to DCT on position. The dust fan motor will be activated. The working pressure can
be adjusted by the relief valve.

See full diagram for other parts

20
 Cooling fans

Pumps 4 and 5
Pumps 4 and 5 are double gear pumps and driven by an extra power take off on the side of the
diesel engine and power two cooler fan motors. The maximum pressure is set by an electrical
relief valve.

Pilot pressure
Pilot pressure is generated by pump 1 or pump 2.The pressure is limited in the distribution
valve block by pressure reducing valve set to 33 bar and then through a strainer out to the
pilot circuits. The pilot oil is led through solenoid valve Y169A, Y169B, Y169C and Y503,
which guide the pilot pressure either to the drilling and tramming circuit. To protect the pilot
system against pressure surges.

In the drilling mode

¾ The solenoid valve Y169A is activated. The pilot pressure goes to the feed/rotation pilot
control valve block to control feed and rotation.
¾ When percussion is switched on, the solenoid valve Y169B is activated. The pilot pressure
goes to anti-jamming valve block to control drilling.

In the tramming mode

¾ The solenoid valve Y169C is activated. The pilot pressure goes to the tramming pilot
control valve block to control tramming.
¾ When fast tramming control switch S130A is activated, the solenoid valve Y503 is
activated. The pilot pressure goes to tramming circuit to control the fast tramming.

See full diagram for other parts

Cooling fans
The rig is equipped with two standard fan drives, one for cooling the compressor/hydraulic oil,
and one for cooling the engine water/air inlet. Two fan motors are supplied by pump 4 and 5.

21
 Cooling fans
When the key switch S139 is in the starting position and the model switch S130 is in the
idling position, neutral start relay RLY1 is not activated and both Y501 and Y504 are
activated, which result that two fan motors are unload.

Conditions for two cooling fans in low speed:

¾ The engine start normally
¾ Neutral start relay RLY1 is activated => Y501 and Y504 are de-activated.
This speed can be adjusted by the throttle valve.

 Tramming

Tramming
Conditions for tramming function:
¾ Model switch S130 in the tramming position => Y169C is activated.

Tramming direction is controlled via the tramming lever. These controls send a hydraulic
pilot signal to tram valve block. The pilot pressure changes the directional valves’ position
proportionally and pump 1 and 2 supply the tramming motors’ hydraulic circuits with oil.

Tramming low/high speed

When model switch S130 is in the tramming position, tramming speed selector switch S130A
can change the tramming speed.

When tramming speed selector switch S130A is in low speed position, solenoid valve Y169C
is activated and pilot pressure is then led to directional valve in each traction motor.

When tramming speed selector switch S130A is in high speed position, solenoid valve Y503
is activated and pilot pressure is then led to directional valve in each traction motor. This
connects system pressure to the traction motors displacement device, which reduces the motor
displacement and results in increase of traction motor speed.

Reverse warning
Back alarm sensor H185 is activated and the horn is working when tramming backwards.

 Positioning

Positioning
The positioning circuit (including track oscillation circuit) are mainly supplied with oil from
pump 1.

Positioning
The positioning cylinders are directly controlled by positioning levers inside the cabin. Lever
movement results in valve activation and the pump pressure can pass out to the cylinder. The
boom lift (BL) and feed dump (FD) cylinders are equipped with internal over-centre valves,
which protect the cylinders from over load and acts as load holding valves. The feed swing
(FS), feed extension (FE), boom extension (BE) and boom swing (BS) cylinders have built in
double pilot operated check valves.

See full diagram for other parts

Positioning in tramming and drilling mode

In tramming or drilling mode, the solenoid valve Y100 is activated, pump 1 is delivering oil
to the positioning circuit; the pressure for positioning is 250bar. So the position speed is the
same.

27
 Positioning
Track oscillation
The track oscillation cylinders are controlled by directional valves solenoid 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:
- ON, 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 25bar is needed for them to
permit oil flow to the cylinders connected in parallel, this position is used for tramming
So that unevenness in the ground are compensated for between the two cylinders

- OFF, 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.

 Air System & Compressor

Air System & Compressor

Air System
Compressed air is used for the following rig functions:
• Flushing air
Full flushing air is used to transport cuttings from the hole up to the surface. The
reduced flushing is mainly used during collaring through fissured ground or poor rock,
to prevent the air from damaging the walls of the hole.
• ECL, rock drill lubrication system
• Spray greasing system
Distribute lubrication grease to the rod thread.
• DCT, dust collector
Clean the DCT filters.
• Water mist (option)
¾ Extra air-outlet
Provide air for running tools or grinders.
• Water-mist system (option)
Pressurization of the air/water tank.

Flushing air
Conditions for the flushing air function:
¾ Switch S130 in Drilling position => Y210A is activated and compressor is loaded.

Air flushing mode

Air flushing is controlled by an electrical switch S803; there are three air flushing modes:
reduced, full and off. These activated the solenoid valves Y116 and Y115.

S803 function
a: Full air flushing and DCT
b: RHS
c: Reduced air flushing and DCT
d: Full air flushing
e: Neutral

30
 Air System & Compressor
¾ Reduced air
In drilling mode, when reduced air flushing is selected, Y210B and Y115 are not activated
and the air flows via Y116 and can then be regulated with a control valve. The factory setting
for the reduced air pressure is 7±0.5 bar (see figure)

See full diagram for other details

¾ Full air
In drilling mode, when full air flushing is selected, Y210B and Y115, Y116 are activated and
the air flows via Y115 and Y116 and can then be regulated with a control valve. The factory
setting for the full air pressure is 10±0.5 bar

ECL, rock drill lubrication system

See chapter “ECL, TH hammer lubrication system” under “Drilling”.

Spray greasing system

The lubrication is injected into the flushing air and dissipates through the treads of the drill
rods to keep them lubricated.
See chapter “Spray greasing system”.

DCT, dust collector

See chapter “Dust collector, DCT”.

Extra air-outlet
The rig is equipped with two air outlets where a grinder or tool can be connected. The air
pressure is limited to 7 bar by a pressure reducing valve.

Water-mist system (option)

See chapter “Water mist systems (Option)”.

Compressor

General
The integrated compressor is a single stage oil-lubricated compressor. Max. working pressure
has been set to 12 bar.
The maximum free air delivery (FAD) is 232l/sec at 10.5 bar working pressure.

Compressor element

31
 Air System & Compressor
The compressor element contains two rotors, one female and one male rotor, mounted on
roller as well as ball bearings. The female rotor is driven by the diesel engine, and powers the
male rotor. The rotors are lubricated by oil, injected and mixed with the air. This also
increases the efficiency as the oil seals between the rotor-tips and housing. The compressor
elements are of Atlas Copco type C146.

Air flow
Intake air is drawn in through the air filter and the inlet valve to the compressor element. The
air is mixed with injected oil and after compression is passed through the check valve into the
air receiver. The check valve prevents back-flow of compressed air when the compressor is
stopped. In the air receiver, most of the oil is removed from the air/oil mixture by the oil
separator. The flow of compressed air then passes through the minimum pressure valve out
into the drill rigs air system. The minimum pressure valve prevents the pressure in the air
receiver to drop below the minimum working pressure of the compressor before the air is
released, in order to ensure proper function of the oil system.

Air Atmospheric Pressure

Air Regulating Pressure

Air Working Pressure

Air/Oil Mixture

Oil

Cooling and oil system

Oil is used for lubrication, sealing, cooling and is boosted by air pressure, there is no oil pump.
The lower part of the air receiver serves as oil tank. Air pressure forces the oil from the air
receiver through the oil cooler, oil filter and the oil stop valve to the different injection points
of the compressor element. The air/oil mixture then leaves the compressor element and re-
enters the air receiver, where the oil is separated from the air by centrifugal or cyclone forces
in the oil separator element. Oil that is collected in the bottom of the oil separator is returned
to the oil system by way of the scavenge line and flow restrictor. The oil stop valve prevents
the compressor element from flooding with oil when the unit is stopped.

Regulating system
The compressor control system contains two regulating valves. These valves serve to adapt
the volume of air supplied by the compressor to the air consumption, while simultaneously
maintaining the working pressure within the limits.
The control system also includes a load solenoid Y210A and a high/low air pressure control

32
 Air System & Compressor
solenoid valve Y210B. Y210A is activated by model switch S130. Solenoid valve Y210B is
activated when the switch S803 is switched to full air mode.

Instrumentation & fault indication

The compressor air pressure delivered from the compressor can be read from the pressure
gauge in the cabin. The compressor also has a temperature switch B366A, which
automatically and cuts the diesel engine if the compressor temperature has reached +120°C.

33
 Oil pre-heating

Oil pre-heating
Pump 3 is also used for pre-heating the hydraulic oil. Normal operating temperature of the
hydraulic oil is 40°C. Before operating the drill rig the oil should be pre-heated to minimum
operating temperature 20°C.

When model switch S130 is in the neutral position and the hydraulic oil pre-heating switch
S131 is activated, solenoid valve Y120 is activated, the hydraulic oil is heats up.

When activating Y120, pressure is generated in the pressure valve. This pressure is limited to
180 bar. The flow of pump 3 goes through the pressure valve with a pressure of 180 bar, the
hydraulic oil is heats up.

Activation of drilling functions
When model switch S130 is in drilling position, these three solenoid valves are activated:
Activation of Y210:
- The compressor is load.
Activation of Y100:
- The pump 1 is loading.
Activation of Y169A:
- The pilot pressure can go to the feed and rotation pilot valve.

The Drilling functions such as Drill feed, Percussion, Rapid feed, Rotation and Threading
functions are all controlled by the drill lever.

Magnet holding on rotation during drilling or/and feeding forwards can only be achieved
when the control lever is being pulled to the end position. When the S803 is switched to RHS
mode, the magnet lever can not be held.

Drill rotation
The drill rotation circuit includes functions for rotation clockwise and anticlockwise. The
hydraulic power is supplied from pump 2. The drill rotation circuit includes functions for
rotation and controlling the rotation speed. The anti-jamming system is partly included in the
rotation circuit.

¾ Activation of the drill rotation function

When the model switch S130 is in drilling mode, the solenoid valve Y169 is activated. This
allows the pilot pressure to connect to the feed and rotation pilot valve.

¾ Rotation direction A 6
G
The rotation sector, position(B)and (H), controls the D
main direction valve for clockwise and anti-clockwise
rotaion via the rotation flow control.

motor is limitted by the 285 bar relief valve.
F
¾ Rotation pressure C 8I
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 pressure can
be on read on the pressure gauge in the cabin. The maximum pressure for rotation anti-
clockwise is limited to 125 bar, and the maximum pressure of rotation clockwise is limited to
180 bar.

 Drilling functions

Rotational valve Pressure valves

See full diagram for other parts

¾ 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 rotation directional
valve will open. The flow to the rock drill
rotation motor is proportional to the
opening of the directional valve.The
rotation speed can be adjusted via knob in
the cabin, which will restrict the forward
rotation flow to the rotation motor.
If the flow regulator is fully open, more
oil return to tank and result is slow
rotation speed. If the flow regulator is
close, less oil to tank and result in faster
rotation speed.

- Anti-clockwise rotation
The drill lever controls the rotation speed. The main directional valve opens in
correspondence to the position of the joystick. The flow regulator is not connected.

- Super rotation
The super rotation is controlled by the switch S806 through the solenoid valve Y900,
normally when drilling in fracture, broken or clay area, the supper rotation will assist to
get a better hole shape.

Drill feed
The drill feed circuit includes functions for feeding down- and upwards. The hydraulic power
is supplied from pump 1 to the chain feed motor and includes functions for feeding the rock
drill cradle up and down the feed beam and controlling the feed pressure during collaring and
drilling (low and high pressure).

¾ Feed pressures
The feed pressure is generated by pump 1.The pressure for downward drill feed can be read
on pressure gauge in the cabin and the two pressure relief valves (125 and 180 bar) limit the
max pressure to the feed motor, downwards and upwards respectively.
When drilling downwards (drilling), the pressure is controlled by the two pressure relief
valves for low and high feed pressure respectively (see Fig). The impact control switch S446
position determines which valve is controlling the pressure as follow:

z Low feed pressure (collaring)

When the model switch S130 is in drilling position and the percussion on/off switch S807
is switched on. This activates the solenoid valve Y169B. When switch the low/high
percussion switch S446 to low percussion position. This will activate the solenoid valve
Y150B, which allows the low feed and percussion pressure relief valves (32bar and 130
bar) to control the collaring pressure.

z High feed pressure (drilling)

When the model switch S130 is in drilling position and the percussion on/off switch S807
is switched on. This activates the solenoid valve Y169B. When switch the low/high
percussion switch S446 to high percussion position. This allows the high feed and
percussion pressure relief valves (56 bar and 180 bar) to control the pressure.

z Feeding upwards
When feeding upwards. The feed pressure is limited by the pressure relief valve (180 bar)
in the feed control valve block.

Conditions for rapid feed:
¾ Switch S130 in drilling position
¾ Button switch S452 is activated
Result in:
¾ Y151 activated

When rapid feed, the solenoid valve Y151 is activated. It allows more flow to the feed motor
(see Fig). Thereby the feed speed is increased. The rapid feed circuit includes functions for
rapidly feeding upwards and downwards, and automatically switch fast feed speed to low
feed speed when the cradle in the correct positions for rod handling (B803 is activated). The
hydraulic power is supplied from pump 1.

When threading and un-threading, model switch S130 D
must be in the drill position and the switch S803 must be
in rod change mode.

The threading function is a combined activation of both

the feed cylinder and drill rotation motor in a common 5B E 7
H
sector. The hydraulic force to the feed function is
supplied by pump 1 and by pump 2 to the rotation
function.

¾ Threading (Feeding downwards and Rotation CCW) F

The rapid feed/threading sector, position (B), controls C 8I
the coupling valve for drill feed and rotation, the two

Impact
Conditions for low impact with air flushing function self-holding:
¾ Switch S130 in drilling position.
¾ Switch S803 in air flushing position
¾ Switch S807 in impact on position
¾ Switch S446 in low impact position

Conditions for low impact with air flushing function self-holding:

¾ Switch S130 in drilling position.
¾ Switch S803 in air flushing position
¾ Switch S807 in impact on position
¾ Switch S446 in high impact position

NOTE: Magnetic holding on rotation during drilling or/and feeding forwards can only be
achieved when the control lever is being pulled to the end position. Pulling the lever only half
way then release would result in lever springed back to the neutral position. The magnet can
only be released manually to neutral position.

42
 Drilling functions
The percussion circuit includes functions for activating the rock drill’s percussion
mechanisms and checking the pressure for collaring and drilling (low and high pressure). The
percussion pressure is supplied from pump 1. To protect the rock drill and drill steel, the
DPCI system can switch off or lower the percussion pressure if certain conditions are not
fulfilled. The DPCI system is described separately.

Activating percussion
Once the solenoid valve Y169B is activated, the percussion pilot circuit is connected. The two
sequence valves (30bar and 120 bar) in the anti-jamming valve block has two functions: to
lead the oil to the rock drill’s percussion mechanism and cut off percussion if the damper
pressure is lower than 30 bar or higher than 120 bar.

Activating percussion
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 and calibration”
¾ Low percussion pressure (pump 1): The Y150B is activated when the switch S446 is in
low percussion position, this connects the percussion pump 1 LS line to the 130 bar relief
valve (in anti-jamming valve block) for low percussion, and subsequently the pressure
relief valve for low percussion controls the pressure of pump 1.

Note: In the low percussion position, the 50 bar relief valve in feed forward circuit is also
connected for low feed

¾ High percussion pressure (pump 1): The Y150B is inactivated when the switch S446 is
in high percussion position, this connects the percussion pump 1 LS line to the 180 bar
relief valve (in FRP valve) for low percussion, and subsequently the pressure relief valve
for low percussion controls the pressure of pump 1.

Impact hour counter

The impact hour counter is a build-in function of the control system. As long as the proper
damper pressure is generated, the impact pilot oil is lead through the two sequence valves
(30 bar and 120 bar) to the rock drill during drilling. If the impact pilot pressure is higher than
10 bar, the pressure sensor B138 is activated, so the impact hour counter in the system keeps
counting.

43
 Damper and DPC-I system

Damper and DPC-I system

The rock drill’s damper circuit is supplied with oil by pump 1through a constant flow
regulator. The flow regulator is adjusted to allow 8L/min oil to the damper circuit. The flow
8L/min is corresponding to 27 bar damper pressure on the gauge inside of the cabin and
25bar 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.

Adjust 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 be performed before the hydraulic oil
has reached normal working temperature, 40℃ (104°F)

1. Connect a pressure gauge between the damper hose connection and the damper hose on the
rock drill.
2. Start the diesel engine
3. Make sure that the shank adapter is fully withdrawn, i.e. the damper piston is in the floating
position.
4. Set the 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 damper and anti-clockwise to raise it.
6. Tighten the lock screw once the pressure is correct.

Note: percussion should be stopped if the damper pressure exceeds 120bar or drops below 30
bar.

Figure: Percussion valve block

44
 Damper and DPC-I system

DPC-I system
Function
The DPC-I system (Damper Pressure Control 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 the two sequence valves in the rig’s hydraulic system.

¾ The damper pressure is too low

When the damper pressure is too low, in this case, the activation of percussion is
prevented if the damper pressure is below 30 bar (rock drill with extractor, the pressure is
25bar ) or percussion stops if the damper pressure drops below 30 bar during drilling in
cavities, a hose ruptures or a valve malfunctions.

¾ The damper pressure is too high

If the damper pressure is exceeds 120 bar percussion will be stopped. This may occur if
the feed pressure is abnormally high or if a mechanical fault arises in the damper.

¾ Switch low/high percussion

During normal drilling with high percussion pressure, if the damper pressure drops below
50 bar, the percussion pressure will refer to the 130bar relief valve, this means that the
relief valve for low percussion controls the pump pressure instead of the relief valve for
high percussion pressure.

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 DPC-I system can be adjusted either in the workshop or on the drill site. Adjusting in the
work shop 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, the lowest setting to switch off percussion should be as high as possible without
making it difficult to start impact.

¾ Setting during drilling

Low pressure sequence valve setting during drilling:

1. Check that the damper pressure is adjusted according to “Adjusting the damper pressure”.
2. Start drilling on low impact pressure and collaring feed pressure.
3. Adjust the feed pressure slowly towards 0 while observing the damper pressure gauge.
4. When the damper pressure drops below 30 bar as a result of the low feed pressure, impact should be
stopped automatically.
5. If needed, adjust low pressure sequence valve CW to increase the setting or CCW to decrease it.
6. 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 off immediately. If not, the
setting of low pressure valve should be increased.

NOTE! The setting of the low pressure sequence valve 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 pressure.

Transition pressure valve setting during drilling:

1. Check that the damper pressure is adjusted according to “Adjusting the damper pressure”.
2. Start drilling. Make a good collaring, and then activate high impact pressure.
3. Slowly decrease the feed pressure while observing the damper pressure gauge.
4. The impact pressure should change from high to low when the damper pressure drops below 50 bar.
5. If needed: Adjust transition valve CCW to lower the setting and CW to increase it.

High presure sequence valve setting during drilling:

1. Check that the damper pressure is adjusted according to “Adjusting the damper pressure”.
2. Start drilling on low impact pressure.
3. Increase the feed pressure towards maximum while observing the damper pressure gauge.
4. When the damper pressure exceeds 120 bar, impact should be stopped automatically.
5. If needed: Adjust high pressure sequence valve CCW to lower the setting and CW to increase it.

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.

 Protective protections

Protective protections
Anti-jamming
When the cop logic switch S809 is switched to cop logic on position. 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.

Note: Only the cop logic switch is activated, the anti-jamming function could be obtained.

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 drill feed backwards. When jamming happens, when
push feed backward, B262 is working, feed backward relay13 is working, it inactivate the
Y109B, which inhibit the anti-jamming.

Function
When the anti-jamming protection is activated, the rock drill backs off the jamming
conditions with regard to rotation pressure is over 80 bar and flushing air cease to exist.
The rock drill backs off until the rotation pressure returns to the permitted value (80bar) or the
flushing air is activated.

Anti-jamming protection with regard to high rotation pressure:

If the rotation pressure exceeds 80 bar, the pilot line feed direction valve will be activated.
The feed direction will be automatically to the backward.

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 valves for low feed pressure and high feed pressure.

Note: The RPCF valve only controls the feed pressure when high percussion/feed pressure is
activate

 Dust collector, DCT

Dust collector, DCT

Conditions for the DCT suction functions:

• Switch S130 in drilling position.

• Switch S803 in DCT on position
Result in:
¾ Y210 is activated. Compressor is loading.
¾ Y250 is activated. Dust collection.

The DCT system includes functions for starting the fan, controlling suction ON/OFF and
cleaning the filters. The hydraulic power is supplied from pump 3.

DCT hydraulic system

When model switch S130 is in drilling position and S803 is in the DCT position, it activates
DCT fan motor solenoid Y250 and compressor load Y210. The running speed of the DCT fan
motor is set by the relief valve to 150bar with around 6000 rpm .The speed can be changed by
adjusting the pressure on pressure relief valve.

 Dust collector, DCT
DCT filter cleaning
When model switch S130 is in drilling position and S803 is in the DCT position, the signal is
sent to DCT control unit and it activates the four filter cleaning valves Y251A-D alternately.
The filter cleaning valves quickly opens and closes to create pressure shocks of compressed
air to clean the filters.
The length of each cleaning pulse can be adjusted. The time between each pulse can also be
adjusted. The pulse time is set to 260ms and the pulse can be set between 6 to 20 times per
minute, depending on moisture of the drill dust. If the dust is moist the pulse is set to
maximum 20 times, if the drill dust is very dry the pulse time is set to minimum 6 times.
Factory setting is 10 pulses/minute.

See full diagram for other parts

When DCT switch S803 isn’t in the DCT on position, the control system activates valves
Y251A-D simultaneously to clean the DCT filters in an extended time. This time can also be
adjusted in the “Extended time”. The factory setting is 50s (10 times working within 50s)

DCT air system

The air supply to the DCT is limited to 7 bar by pressure reducing valve and protected by a
8.5 bar safety valve. Solenoid valves Y251A-D opens alternately to clean the DCT filters.

RHS, Rod Handling System

Conditions common for all RHS functions:
RHS of PowerROC T50 is a multiple operation
• Model switch S130 in drilling position
• Seat switch (operator in chair) must be activated
• Switch S803 in RHS position

General
The functions of the different rod handling movements are electrically operated by the
carousel control switch S805, S111B and arm control lever S182. Both control switches send
a signal to the solenoid valve, when the right inputs are present, activates the corresponding
hydraulic valve in order to perform one of the following movements:

System pressure
The hydraulic power is supplied from Pump 1 and is limited to 210 bar by pressure reducing
valve. There is also a separate pressure regulating valve to the suction hood (40 bar) to
prevent the cylinder breaking and one for the grip function (15 bar) which limits the pressure
for “loose grip”(see hydraulic diagram)

S182 function:
a: Loose grip
b: Hard grip, from drill center to carousel
c: Open grip, from drill center to carousel
d: Hard grip
e: Open grip
f: Hard grip, from carousel to drill center
g: Open grip, from carousel to drill center

S805 function:
Carousel start rotation

S111B function:
Carousel rotation direction
a: Rotation counter clockwise
b: Rotation clockwise

Note: The rotation direction switch

S111B must be selected before activating rotation switch S805.

Carousel rotation
Carousel rotation is controlled by valves Y303A and B. Valve Y303A controls the clockwise
rotation and Y303B counter clockwise rotation. Two restrictors limit the rotation speed(see
hydraulic diagram). The sensor B181 detects the clockwise and counter clockwise rotation
position.

RHS arm
The RHS cylinders are controlled by the solenoid valves Y301A and Y301B. Y301A controls
the RHS arm to carousel and Y301B controls the arm to drill centre. Similarly with carousel
rotation there are two restrictors here which control the cylinder speed.

Gripper Claws (on RHS arms)

The gripper claws are controlled by the valves Y300 and Y306 which are controlled by the
left hand control panel.

 RHS, Rod Handling System

Open gripper claws

The gripper claws are opened through pushing the steering lever S182 to the open position.
To move the RHS arm to drill centre the lever is pulled backward. To move the arm to the
carousel the lever is moved forward.

Loose grip
Loose grip is controlled by valve 306 and a pressure control valve which limits the pressure to
15 bar(adjustable).

Figure: RHS valve block

See full diagram for other parts

Tight grip
The gripper claws are in tight grip when valves Y300A are activated and Y306 inactivated.
To obtain the tight grip in the carousel the RHS lever is moved forward and to obtain tight
grip in drill centre the lever is moved backward.

56
 RHS, Rod Handling System

The following is a short explanation of how the sensors work on the ROC D-TH:

¾ B803 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.
When B803 is activated, the fast feed
speed will automatically switch to low
feed speed.

¾ B181 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.

 Drill steel support and suction hood

Drill steel supports & suction hood

Upper drill steel support
When S119 is moved to the position a, the upper drill-steel support is closed (Y361A).
When S119 is moved to the position c, the upper drill-steel support is opened (Y361B).

Lower drill steel support

When S187 is moved to the position a, the lower drill-steel support is closed (Y350A).
When S187 is moved to the position c, the lower drill-steel support is opened (Y350B).

Suction hood
When S167 is moved to the position a, the suction hood is downward (Y357A).
When S119 is moved to the position c, the suction hood is upward (Y357B).
Y357A and Y357B control lifting and lowering the suction hood respectively. An adjustable
Pressure control valve limits max. pressure to 40 bar for this function.(see further on

 Spray greasing system

Spray greasing system

Function
Lubrication of the drill rod threads is done by an air spray
greaser.
The grease is injected by a pump placed in the front of the
wagon frame. The grease pump is powered by compressed
air from the rig compressor and controlled through solenoid
valve Y552A. Compressed air is also used for the spraying.
Activation of Y552A is done manually and is controlled by
the switch S449 on the right joystick.

The maximum pressure to the grease pump is adjusted to

8.5bar by the pressure regulator 5 (see air system for full
diagram) which is displayed by the pressure gauge 22. The
system can be switched off by blocking the air supply with
ball cock valve 4 or by the electrical switch in the cabin.

We recommend the use of “Atlas Copco Secoroc thread

lubricant A” for the lubrication of drill steel threads.

 ECL,Roc drill lubrication system

ECL, Roc drill lubrication system

Figure: Electric control pannel

Function
ECL pump Y106 starts to pump as soon as the impact switch S807 is turned ON. The ECL
pump is an electrical piston pump, controlled by the controller on PCB board which sends out
pulses to the pump. 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 ECL lubrication pressure gauge is
located in the cabin. There are two sensor switches, B380 for monitoring the low level of cop
oil and B368 for monitoring the lubrication pressure. The ECL oil collection system is
optional.

Conditions for the ECL function:

• Switch S130 in drilling position => Drill relay RLY7/ON
• Flushing switch S803 must be activated, to obtain air flushing
• Impact switch S807 must be activated
Result in: Y106 activated

Note: The ECL pump works for an extended time after the percussion is switched off.
This time delay can be adjusted via the cop oil adjustment screw.

Option
Water mist system (Option)
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 large 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 a
flow regulator S272; the Y112D is a proportional valve, when the water mist control switch
S448A is activated on reduced water or full water position, adjusting the switch S272 the
Y112D will receive different value of current and the valve will output different open, thereby
the water flow can be controlled with reduced and full.

4: S448A
a: Reduced water
b: Full water

62
 Option

S272: water flow regulator

If a large quantity of water needs to be added, for example when reaching a pocket of clay,
full water flushing can be selected (S448A) on the right-hand control panel. To avoid suction
hoses and dust collector filters clogging during the use of water mist system the DCT must be
switched off when the dust is very wet or if water is spurting up from the hole.

Prevent freezing protection

In order to prevent freezing of the tank the non-pressurized systems is equipped with a flush
air function that is used to remove water in the hoses and pump when the tank is emptied on
water. All tanks are equipped with connections to the engines cooling liquid so it's possible to
use the heat from the engine to prevent the water from freezing.

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 equipment 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 / rod handling.

Power supply
The power supply for the HQS unit is from switched 24V power #1.

Drill stop activation

The HQS supports a function to automatically stop the impact when a predefined drill depth is reached.
The HQS electronic unit will deactivate the Y 179A and Y 179B, the drill lever from the magnets
(Y179A, Y179B) and returning it to the neutral position; it will also deactivate Y169B, thus shutting
off impact, though flusing air remains activated.

Impact definition
The impact definition signal is connected to the impact hour counter, 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.
