Tunnel-Drills-Pilot

Automatic positioning system for Tunnel Drill machine

The TUNNEL-DRILLS-PILOT is a devices that shows and store the relative position of a Tunnel Drilling Machine. After the storage the system ihelp the operator to re-position the drill rig in one of the “n” stored position quicly. The position set is composed of 6 relative movements, two elongation and one rotation for each legs (front and rear leg of the machine).

MEASURED MOVEMENTS

  • Front Base Elongation
  • Front Rotation
  • Front Leg Elongation
  • Rear Base Elongation
  • Rear Rotation
  • Rear Leg Elongation

TUNNEL-DRILLS-PILOT can store “n” relative positions. After each one of this position has been stored, the operator can recall and start the positioning procedure. The list of the position stored is very simple to manage, and the operator can cancel, or edit any position quicly.

The position stored are relative to a fixed positioning of stabilizers and tracks. Moving tracks or stabilizers will change the real absolute position of the mast, and it will not be the one we were looking for. Storage has to be performed mantaining tracks and stabilizers always in the same position.

TUNNEL-DRILLS-PILOT uses CAN BUS as comunication bus to all the sensors, so it decrease the number of cables needed to monitor the entire system.
