Robit® Sense Systems

‘S’ Series

Robit’s unique measuring technologytakes percussive drilling to a higher plane!

Robit® is the first company in the world to successfully develop a patented measuring system that can measure hole deviation during the percussive drilling process. Measurements are immediately available and the system is used with your standard drill string!

Do you know where your drilled holes end? Would you like to obtain deviation data without weighing down your overall process? You can now tackle both challenges with Robit’s new measuring technology! The Robit® S Sense System is the result of an intensive, seven-year R&D program at Robit and is now available throughout our global sales network. Deviation measurement can now be seamlessly integrated into your drilling process, and the previously manual measurement steps can be completely avoided.

When drilling rock, holes often deviate from the desired direction. When hole length increases, deviation may even be several meters. At its worst this results in serious safety hazards, but in all operations it can cause inefficiencies when secondary breaking and blasting have to be done to handle over-sized boulders that are result of deviation. S Sense measurements are immediately available after lifting the drill rods, which allows the operator to react to changing rock conditions. Individual hole measurements are collected into blast pattern data, which can then be used to optimize conventional blast planning or integrated into modern blast planning software. The system functions in all types of rock formations - even in magnetic ore.

Optimizing charging raises efficiency in drilling by:

• Optimizing crushing aggregates through controlled charging and blasting, no oversized boulders

• Ensuring safe blasting without the risk of flying rocks

• Optimizing yield from the orebody by avoiding drilling into waste rock

• Increasing the overall productivity of the blasting and crushing process

• Cutting costs for fuel and explosives and reducing downtime

• Storing all drilling data in a database to develop your drilling process

• Raising overall efficiency

Technical facts:

• Measuring technology can be used for several top hammer applications.

• Measuring module is integrated into the standard drill string with special technology by Robit.

• Basic configuration of the measuring technology comprises a suspended measuring module with inertial sensors, a data transmitter, a wireless charger and a tablet computer with user interface.

• The technology developed, which utilises high accuracy accelerometers and gyroscopes, also makes it possible to measure in magnetic ore.

• The accuracy is ±0,5° for inclination and ±1° for azimuth, when used in accordance with Manual Guidelines.

• Available for 70 mm holes and upwards.

• The system has been developed in an intensive, seven-year R&D program, in cooperation with universities, research institutes and companies that are experts in the sector. It has been successfully tested with Finnish customers for more than two years in various conditions and with different hole sizes.
