  • Product Detail Introduction

Core Engineering Features & Performance Advantages

Autonomous RTK Positioning & Smart Robotic Drilling

Utilizes RTK satellite navigation and multi-joint angle algorithms to position blast holes with sub-10cm precision. Automatically adjusts propulsive beam orientation based on imported coordinate files and manages the full cycle—collaring, auto-drilling, rod addition, and retracting—to preset depths with zero human intervention.

Cummins 316 kW Powertrain & 24 Bar Air End

Integrates high-pressure DTH rock percussion with an onboard Kaishan SKY11HG165-A screw compressor (22 m³/min @ 24 bar / 348 psi) on a single crawler platform. Driven by a 316 kW (430 HP) Cummins L9CS4 diesel engine with dual-terminal outputs, cutting jobsite diesel fuel burn by up to 25% with no trailing air hoses.

Remote Control Teleoperation & MWD Lithology Telemetry

Supports networked office control room teleoperation where one operator supervises multiple robotic rigs. Gathers real-time measurement-while-drilling (MWD) and rock strata data into a central database. Built on a 25-ton chassis with 65 kN feed force, 4,100 N·m torque, and a FOPS/ROPS certified cabin.

Operational Benefits of the KD60i Drilling Robot

  • Full-Cycle Autonomous Blast Hole Execution: Leveraging high-precision RTK satellite positioning (<10 cm accuracy) and autonomous joint sensing algorithms, the robot automatically navigates, aligns, collars, drills, changes rods, and retracts, removing human error and maximizing blast-pattern consistency.
  • High-Efficiency 22 m³/min @ 24 Bar Flushing: Onboard Kaishan SKY11HG165-A two-stage rotary screw compressor generates 24 bar (348 psi) flushing pressure, delivering high bottom-hole chip evacuation speed and accelerated penetration rate (ROP) down to 36 meters in 140–190 mm holes.
  • Intelligent Cloud Mining Integration: Real-time measurement-while-drilling (MWD) sensors collect penetration rate, torque, feed pressure, and formation lithology data, syncing with the mine dispatch center for digital blast optimization and remote teleoperation of multiple machines by a single operator.

Primary Industrial Applications

  • Intelligent & Unmanned Open-Pit Mines: Autonomous production blast-hole drilling (⌀140–190 mm) in iron ore, copper, gold, and cement aggregate open-cast operations.
  • High-Altitude & Extreme Temperature Mining: Engineered for severe ambient conditions (-30°C to +45°C) with automated remote control capabilities for harsh environments.
  • Hazardous Benches & Pre-Split Rock Stabilization: Teleoperated drilling on steep or high-risk quarry faces without putting on-site drill operators at risk.
  • Eco-Compliant Digital Quarrying: Dual dry cyclonic laminar flow or optional wet dust suppression systems ensure compliance with strict environmental airborne silica regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What distinguishes the KD60i as an "open-pit drilling robot" from conventional DTH rigs?

A: The KD60i integrates centimeter-level RTK positioning, automatic hole coordinate alignment, adaptive rock formation drilling parameter control, automated 8+1 rod handling, and remote fleet management. It can drill entire blast patterns autonomously to preset depths or be teleoperated from a distant office control room, eliminating on-site personnel hazards.

Q: Can one remote operator control multiple KD60i units simultaneously?

A: Yes. Provided reliable jobsite network connectivity (such as industrial 4G/5G or private Wi-Fi), a single operator in the central office control room can supervise and dispatch multiple KD60i drilling robots, monitoring real-time telemetry, MWD data, and video feeds.

Q: Does the KD60i require an external air compressor or trailer hose?

A: No. The KD60i is completely self-contained on a 25-ton crawler chassis. Its 316 kW Cummins engine powers all hydraulic and electronic systems while directly driving the onboard 24-bar Kaishan two-stage screw compressor, operating completely untethered with zero trailing air hoses.
