  • Patent number: 8594832
    Abstract: A method and a storage device including a software product for designing a drilling pattern, and further a rock drilling rig, in the control unit of which a software product may be executed for designing the drilling pattern. For a group of holes of the drilling pattern, at least one master hole can be determined which comprises at least one dominating factor. The properties of at least one other drill hole are determined on the basis of the dominating properties of the master hole. A master hole may be a hole location master, hole depth master or hole direction master.

  • Patent number: 8548609
    Abstract: A method for designing a drilling pattern for rock cavity excavation and a software product implementing the method. The drilling pattern is created by means of a design program. The drilling pattern defines several starting points of drill holes in a navigation plane, end points of the drill holes on the bottom of a round and further the directions and lengths of the drill holes. The face of the round is designed to have a desired shape by determining the locations of the end points for the desired face profile. A three-dimensional face profile is entered into the design program, which subsequently places end points to the face profile automatically.

  • Patent number: 8286726
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control apparatus for controlling a rock-drilling rig performing a multiphase rock-drilling event. The control apparatus is arranged to display a working phase indicator on a display, and rock drilling phase-specific information elements is associated with different working phases. The control apparatus is arranged to specify the phase of the rock-drilling event and to update the working phase indicator to display at least one display information element in accordance with the specified working phase.

  • Patent number: 7444862
    Abstract: A method and a roll for measuring a tension profile is provided. The roll has planted on its surface a spirally helical pressure-sensitive film sensor, such as an EMFi pressure-sensitive film sensor, which makes contact with a web obliquely and which, co-directionally with the web, has a measuring range which is substantially equal to or shorter than a web overlap angle when the roll is used for measuring a lateral tension profile of the web.

  • Publication number: 20080230270
    Abstract: A method for positioning a rock drilling rig to a drilling site and a rock drilling rig. In positioning the rock drilling rig is driven to the positioning station such that its carrier is at desired distances from wall surfaces surrounding the drilling site. For positioning the rig is provided with distance measuring devices. Navigation is not started until positioning has been performed and in navigation the location of the rock drilling rig is linked to the coordinate system of the drilling site.

  • Publication number: 20080140322
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a system in the maintenance of machine components, devices and systems relating to papermaking, where the condition, state and/or performance of machine components, devices and systems relating to papermaking are monitored by monitoring systems, which are used for performing load measurements and for collecting load measurement data comprising load measurement signals. In the method according to the invention, the measured load measurement data is processed in such a way that of the load measurement data one or more load characteristics are formed, which express the load directed at the machine component or device being measured. In the method according to the invention, load characteristics determined in real time are used as input information for an operational reliability model in order to provide an operational reliability model.
