Feed Rotation
General
Feed rotation can be carried out both manually and hydraulically. Hydraulic feed rotation is an
option
Upward and horizontal drilling
Upward and horizontal drilling requires higher feed force in order to compensate for the weight of
the rock drill and drill cradle. The drill feed pressure needs to be increased by approx. 30-40 bar
during upward drilling.
NOTE: Exercise caution regarding the drill rig's stability. Note that the rig's stability is affected by
forces from boom movements and/or forces from the boom feed. See chapter Technical Data.
