 Power and
intelligence The gas spring rod holder opens hydrauli-
cally and closes with gas pressure for
increased safety. If there is a loss of hydraulic
pressure, the rod-holder closes instantly.
Increased safety and productivity thanks
to the unique wire line winch design which
enables drilling angles from -90° to +90°
without repositioning.
An inductive water flow meter, without mov-
ing parts, and a highly accurate pressure
sensor increases flushing reliability and
availability of the machine.
Epiroc's Diamec Smart 8 is designed to be tough and safe
whilst requiring minimal maintenance. The rig delivers
high productivity and low operational costs within Direct acting telescopic feed cylinder with equal
underground deep hole coring. Our Diamec Smart range pull/push force, providing optimal control and equal
travel-speed and force in both directions.
