Bolt Plan Navigation

To use a correct bolt pattern adapted for existing rock conditions, is essential to obtain a safe rock support system. Today, different methods of installing the correct bolt pattern are used, but the one thing they all have in common is that they rely on the operator’s ability to manoeuver the bolting equipment.
 
Atlas Copco’s Bolt Plan Navigation system enables planning of the rock support in underground mining and tunnelling operations. With the Total Station Navigation function, which is included, the rig can rapidly be navigated into precisely the right position - every time, and with limited need of surveyors.
 
With Bolt Plan Navigation it is easy to see where bolts are to be installed without guide marks painted on walls and roofs. You will receive reports about bolt types, amount of cement used and other data that can be saved for future analysis. The logging function shows how many bolts have been installed and their exact position.
