42 • ROCK products • May 2016 www.rockproducts.com EQUIPMENT & TECHNOLOGY DRILLING & BLASTING Doofor Inc. launched a new version in its DF550/560-series drill. Manufactured with premium quality components and innovative in-house technology, the new DF560L-2M is now the most powerful rock drill available in the Doofor product line, according to the company. The new Doofor DF560L-2M is a high-frequency hydraulic rock drill, specifically designed for production drilling on the surface, underground and in tunneling applications. The DF560L-2M has superb functionality equipped with two powerful 160-cu.-cm Danfoss OMS-series rotation motors as a standard. The drifter provides 20-kW percussion power. With DF560L- 2M, it is possible to maintain high rotation speed in rock drilling complemented with powerful torque that is needed for example in sedimentary rock drilling. DF560L-2M model is suitable for many types of heavy machinery such as exca- vator drill attachments, drill rigs and bolting systems. Optimal maximum hole diameter for the DF560L-2M is 89 mm (3.5 in.) in hard rock, such as granite. With softer rock, a larger hole diameter can be achieved. Furthermore, the mod- el has a very low overhead, just 84 mm from drill center line. Low profile allows closer and deeper drilling, up to the roof and straighter according to targeted line. Low physical pro- file also gives more possibilities in drill rig design. The rock drill has a separated flushing head that allows utili- zation of different flushing media such as water or air, or air- water-mist. As an option for regular type, Doofor has invent- ed a new BLT-flushing head with enhanced, close-fitted prop- erties. It is made of stainless steel and designed for challeng- ing environments to protect the drill especially when water and even cement is used. In operation, the BLT-flushing head prevents water leaking inside the drill and causing damage. Therefore the drill can perform with full capacity with rela- tively low maintenance costs. This model is adjustable with R38, T38 and T45 shank adapt- ers and when a BLT-flushing head is used, also female FR28 and FR32 shank adapters are available. For tap hole drill- ing, the drill can be equipped with heat resistant sealing. DF560L-2M not only complements the company's existing product line but also enhances the customer's business for the future.

Take the TruPulse 360R, in conjunction with the Archer 2 data collector and LTI's MapSmart + Volume software, and you'll be able to accurately measure the volumes of any kind of material you own. With this software, a single oper- ator can efficiently collect and record data point electronically while out of harm's way, with volume calculation results in less than an hour. This sim- ple-to-use field data collection soft- ware will have you gathering data like an expert in a matter of minutes. Designing the perfect blast has never been simpler, more productive or safer than it is today with the combination of the TruPulse 200X and Face Profiler software. The company's blast-design solution allows you to gather precise measurements and record critical depth vs. burden data from a single location, allowing measurements to be acquired on practically any type sur- face, dark or light, and at ranges the competition simply can't reach, noted the company. Measure quickly, securely and accu- rately, then review and adjust data and produce complete reports right on the field. Keep your benches beautiful with the TruPulse 200X and Face Profiler blast design solution. Laser Technology Inc., www.lasert- ech.com Laser Technology Inc. Offers Blasting, Profiling Solutions
