Together with Atlas Copco ODEX equipment, COP hammers are used Application (drill rigs) for simultaneous drilling-and-casing through overburden. When used...
Preparing to drill DANGER Hose connection Connecting and securing the air hoses. The rig must be set-up correctly in order to give stability and safety. If this is not done, the effects of feed force and rotation torque can cause For a compressed air system to be effi...
Too low a feed force will give easy rotation, excessive vibra- tion and reduced penetration. The resultant refl ex shock waves can DANGER damage the rotation unit and feed beam. Too high a feed force causes the rotation to jam (either erratically When drilling on soft or unstable ground, great care must be taken or completely) and can subject the drill string to severe bending because the fl...
Make sure that the rubber sleeve is correctly fi tted. A leaking Flushing — Air-blowing rubber sleeve can cause serious damage to the hammer. To avoid wasteful re-crushing and the risk of jam ming, drill cuttings Check the location and condition of O-ring H in the bottom of the must be fl...
Foaming concentrate is pumped into the compressed- air line in the form of a concentrate/water mixture. Atlas Copco foam- ing concentrate has lubricating properties and contains corrosion inhibitors, which prevent seizing in the hammer.
After cleaning, always coat the threads with available. Ordering No. 9178. Atlas Copco thread grease before jointing. Take extra care during jointing operations when drilling in abrasive N.B. Failure to attach the wrench rock formations, since the ingress of quartz particles into the hammer as illustrated (B, C) may result in will cause heavy wear.
N.B. Do not forget O-ring E — fi rst smear it with silicone grease and then fi t it back on to the top sub. Minimum permissible diameter Finally, smear the threads of the top sub with Atlas Copco thread COP 34 78 mm grease, and thread it into the cylinder.
