Abstract: A drilling and bolting rig for performing drilling and bolting operations. The drilling and bolting rig includes a magazine for storing a consumable, a feed supporting a drill head for movement relative to a work surface, and a loader configured to retrieve the consumable from the magazine and load the consumable into the drill head. The loader includes an arm operable to engage the consumable. The arm is supported for both rotational and translational movement.

Abstract: A drilling and bolting rig includes a carousel rotatable about a carousel axis and including a plurality of stations configured to support a plurality of consumables, one or more actuators, and a position sensor coupled to the carousel. The one or more actuators are configured to rotate the carousel about the carousel axis. The drilling and bolting rig further includes an electronic processor coupled to the one or more actuators and the position sensor. The electronic processor is configured to detect, using the position sensor, a rotational position of the carousel, and rotate, using the one or more actuators, the carousel based on the rotational position of the carousel.

Abstract: A drill device includes a base frame, a feed frame supported for movement relative to the base frame, and a feed device for inserting a drill element into a rock surface. The base frame includes a pair of fluid cylinders. The feed frame extends along a feed axis and includes a plurality of guide bars aligned parallel to the feed axis. The feed device is supported for movement relative to the feed frame in a direction parallel to the feed axis. The feed device includes a first guide member and a second guide member. The first guide member engages a surface of at least one of the guide bars, and the second guide member engages another surface of at least one of the guide bars.
