Five new underground products from Atlas Copco
161 Atlas Copco launched five new products for underground construction and mining applications at bauma.

The new series of Boomer E rigs features the COP 4038 and the new COP 1800+ series. Both product lines include a new rig control system as well as a new version of Atlas Copco´s Advanced Underground Manager system. This much-improved user interface takes planning and evaluation to the next level in performance and efficiency.
The series also includes a new dry drilling system, providing totally water-free face drilling.

Atlas Copco’s new Boomer E-series can be equipped with the strongest and fastest rock drill on the market, the new COP 4038. It is 20-30% faster than the nearest contender and optimised for hard rock conditions.

The COP 4038 comes with a COP care pro service agreement that safeguards reliability, availability, and sustainable productivity. It is a super-fast 40kW rock drill for 43-64mm drifter holes, which utilises Atlas Copco’s high-frequency technology together with an efficient double damping system to absorb reflex shock waves – making it possible to drill exceptionally fast without increasing wear on the drill steel.

The COP 1800+ series provides the same great performance as its predecessor, the standard COP 1800-series, but extends recommended service intervals by 50%.

All over the world, demands for documentation and follow-up are on the rise. This prompted Atlas Copco to create its new Underground Manager, taking planning and evaluation to a higher level.

The system provides excellent support for all Atlas Copco underground machines. The user interface is new, modern, and easy to use. Underground Manager contains a new drill plan generator, complete 3D view of the tunnel, smart interpolation of contours, and an improved log and report function.

Carbon emissions have also been reduced to a minimum. Diesel engines take care of tramming but, once on site, electricity takes over for drilling.
Stage 3B/Tier4i diesel engines are standard on the rig and biodegradable hydraulic oils are available as well.

Boomer rigs can be equipped with up to four booms, providing a coverage area of 16-208m2, and the most extensive range of high performance rock drills on the market (16-40 kW) designed to tackle all rock types and drilling conditions.

    The European Union Road Federation (ERF) has put out an “urgent” call for “EU Member States to prioritise road maintenance” as neglected surfaces continue to deteriorate and the potholes grow larger and larger. ERF wants the EU to “put alternative financing mechanisms into place” as soon as possible, to tackle what it sees as a growing road safety crisis across the region.

    Engineering firm Ricardo is part way through a research programme to develop an advanced energy recovery system that can be integrated into an excavator’s hydraulic system. Known as the High Efficiency Excavator (HFX) project, the system uses a 5kg carbon fibre flywheel that is encased in a vacuum-sealed cartridge, which contributes to minimising friction. The flywheel is spun at speeds of up to 30,000rpm using a magnetic coupling, which is driven from a hydraulic motor. Power for the hydraulic motor comes
