Accurate and efficient

Designed to increase drilling accuracy and efficiency for Sandvik’s DPi and DX series surface top hammer drill rigs, the TIM3D system features an operator-friendly interface and simplifies the drilling process.

“By bringing 3-D machine automation to drill rigs, TIM3D covers three essential drilling operations: rig navigation, feed alignment and drilling,” says Michael Zirbel, product line support manager. “The TIM3D navigation system improves hole quality and hole position accuracy, translating into better fragmentation due to straighter holes and less fines, shot rock and oversize. This results in increased efficiency further in the production process, both in crushing and in loading and hauling.”
