Product description

Diamec Smart 8 has a versatile design that makes it ideal for most underground core drilling applications. The sophisticated positioner and turntable makes it easy to reach desired drilling position and angle without any adjustments. The Diamec Smart 8 is equipped with an advanced Rig Control System (RCS) where most of the operations can be performed automatically. The protecting safety guards protect the operator from moving parts and all operations are performed from an easy to use control panel. The Diamec Smart 8 can also be equipped with a unique rod handling system that offers complete hands free rod handling. Adding and removing of drill rods, inner tubes and core barrels are completed by the rod handler.

Note*	These figures serve as guidelines only. They are calculated with available pull/feed force, weight of drill string in water filled hole, average WOB and reserve for breaking solid core in rock with 10MPa Tensile Strength. Epiroc cannot guarantee these capacities will be reached in all working conditions due to varying factors such as ITH used, conditions of the ground and differences in operation.
