Abstract:
A method for providing a mining work machine at a work site with production control information, the method including: assigning, on the basis of overall production management information of the work site, the mining work machine with production control information, defining tasks to be performed by the work machine; downloading the control information to a mobile terminal from one or more downloading points associated with a production management system, the mobile terminal and the one or more downloading points including an application for mutually synchronizing desired control information; providing the mobile terminal in a vicinity of the mining work machine, the mining work machine further having an application for mutually synchronizing desired control information; performing an authentication between the mobile terminal and the mining work machine; selecting the control information to be downloaded to the mining work machine; and downloading the selected control information to the mining work machine wirelessly.
Abstract:
An apparatus for handling drilling rods, a rock drilling unit and a method of handling drilling rods is provided. The apparatus includes a rod feeder and a swing device, which cooperate and move drilling rods between a pick-up position and a drilling center defined by a rock drilling machine of the drilling unit. The rod feeder and the swing device are separate devices, which are independently controllable.
Abstract:
An apparatus, rock drilling rig and method for rock drilling includes a turning device for moving a drilling tool around longitudinal axis of the tool. The turning movement is controlled by an alternating turning system so that direction of turning movement is continuously reversed to first and second turning directions. The turning angle of the tool is restricted and a safety system (is configured to monitor the operation and to ensure that a predetermined turning angle is not exceeded.
