  • Dynamic working area
    Patent number: 11379096
    Abstract: A method for defining a working area of a rock drilling rig including the steps of determining at least one current input parameter, determining a working area that defines a reach of the drilling unit in a control unit on the basis of the at least one current input parameter and at least one fixed reach parameter, displaying a graphical representation of the working area on a display, and re-determining the working area and updating the graphical representation of the working area dynamically in response to a change in the input parameters. The current input parameter may be, for example, an orientation of the rock drilling rig or a hole parameter.

  • ROCK DRILLING RIG AND METHOD FOR MONITORING
    Publication number: 20160112678
    Abstract: A rock drilling rig and a method of monitoring drilling is provided. The rock drilling rig is provided with a boom and drilling unit therein. Drilling is monitored by a monitoring system having at least one monitoring video camera. Monitoring views of the camera is displayed on a display device. Several operational targets and target views for them are predefined for the system, whereby the target views are shown on the display device during progress of the drilling. The operator may monitor the drilling by the display device.

  • METHOD, ROCK DRILLING RIG AND CONTROL APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20150218928
    Abstract: A method and control apparatus for controlling more than one rock drilling rig operating on the same working site, and a rock drilling rig. A master unit controls the drilling by the rock drilling rigs via a wireless network and sends the rig the necessary information about the drilling plan of the working site.
