Epiroc releases new Teleremote e-tramming option for Simba drill rigs
Broomfield, Colo. -- With cutting-edge technology, Epiroc maintains its leading position in the development of innovative equipment for use in mining and production drilling. In the Simba Automation package, multiple automation functions are available to optimize the drilling process. With the recent addition of the new Teleremote e-tramming function, the production drilling process can be handled in an even safer and more continuous way.
The Simba Automation package includes various functionalities to monitor, plan and automate drilling operations from onboard the rig or from a remote location. The new Teleremote e-tramming option enables the Simba rig to be operated remotely and work more productively in a continuous “ring-to-ring” fashion. After drilling a ring and retrieving the rods, the rig can be tele-remotely trammed to the next ring, saving time and work effort. Not only does the tramming process become faster and simpler, the Teleremote e-tramming function also provides a safer work environment since the operator can control the machine out of harm’s way, even between rings.
