Publication number: 20080240865Abstract: A module is for use in drilling a borehole in face of a mine passage using a drilling element and installing a bolt in the borehole once formed. The module may include a bolt holder for holding a plurality of bolts and a drilling element holder for holding a plurality of different drilling elements. A manipulator moves along an arcuate path between the bolt and drilling element holders to deliver the respective components to a drill head positioned along the arcuate path. The drill head may also slide relative to the mast in two different directions, and includes a drill guide for determining the location of the face to be worked. Related aspects of control of the module and methods are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2006Publication date: October 2, 2008Applicant: J.H.

Publication number: 20070144781Abstract: In one aspect, the invention comprises an instrumented drill head for intended use with a drilling machine including a drilling element, such as a drill bit. The drill head includes a case with a rotatable chuck for the drilling element. A first sensor associated with the drill head senses and generates an output signal representative of a first parameter of the drilling operation. A transmitter wirelessly transmits the signal to a receiver associated with a controller. A roof bolting machine including the drill head and a resin inserter is also disclosed, as are related methods of instrumenting a drill head and drilling using an instrumented drill head.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2004Publication date: June 28, 2007Applicant: J.H.
