Features
• Direct controlled drilling system which incorporates
excellent anti-jamming function RPCF (Rotation Pressure
Controlled Feed force). Separate pumps for
percussion, dampening/positioning and rotation for
independent control and maximum output.
• COP 1838 rock drill with modern double reflex dampening
giving genuine high speed drilling and excellent drill steel
economy. New lubrication system with separate
lubrication of driver and gear, pressurized sidebolts and
mating surfaces gives reliable operation, low maintenance
cost and long intervals between overhauls.
