The new SM-14 drilling rig can operate parallel to its tracks
688 Bauma will be the platform for 2959 Soilmec’s next generation of hydraulic drilling rigs for large diameter piles and smaller drilling rigs for micropiles and anchoring. The new rigs have been designed by the ground engineering specialist to improve productivity and operating flexibility and are installed with tier 3 and 4 diesel engines. Powerful and lightweight rotaries have allowed torque levels to increase by up to 20% and the units use high-strength steels. To further improve safety and efficiency, they also have a new high-speed winch version pull-down system. Switching from a cylinder to a winch system is quick and easy, says Soilmec, and the machines are highly adaptable for a variety of different applications. The new rigs come with wider cabs, greater levels of comfort and visibility and a Soilmec drilling mate system to allow control of all the operating parameters. The new SM-8, SM-14, SM-16 drilling rigs are the result of co-operation between Soilmec and Puntel engineering. They all offer an extensive series of movements, says Soilmec, which make it possible to work in various positions and to perform lateral movements in total safety. The machines can also operate parallel to the tracks. All new models include a crawler undercarriage with a tilting gauge, which enables improved agility, stability and safety.
Austrian mobile crushing and screening equipment manufacturer, Innocrush says its team is constantly striving to develop new and innovative systems that enable customers to achieve the maximum profit with their machines.
In 2011 the company presented the dsb Innocrush Innodrive in which the equipment is driven directly without coupling and thus no wear or maintenance-intensive components, says Innocrush.
Installation and testing has been completed at the Atlas Copco factory in Örebro, Sweden, on the first system integration of Carlson Machine Control’s CBx5 control box console running Carlson DrillGrade software on a FlexiROC HEC3 C65 drilling system. This is said to mark the first successful factory installation of a 3D drilling system integrating Atlas Copco’s new third party protocol available on FlexiROC drills with the HEC3 system. The first of several systems has been delivered to a mine in Finland an

ZF will focus on efficiency and reducing fuel consumption at this year’s show. The transmission and driveline component manufacturer will present its Ergopower efficiency package that combines the cPower continuously variable transmission with the ZF Hybrid module that should be commercially available in the future. cPower is a hydromechanical variable transmission that combines hydrostatic drive pumps with a mechanical powershift gearbox. Available for use in a range of machines, including wheeled loaders,
