Epiroc<\/a> said its ground-breaking Automatic Bit Changer (ABC) is now available for the Pit Viper 351 blasthole drill rig. The ABC enables hands-free bit changes, leveraging cutting-edge automation and advanced control systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the successful launch of Automatic Bit Changer (ABC) for Pit Viper 270 and 290 series, we are proud to release ABC for Pit Viper 351 drills and keep moving forward our automation strategies to continue to transform the mining industry,” said Carla Chaname, product manager \u2013 Machine Automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Fosler, project manager \u2013 Engineering, added, “Scaling up the proven Auto Bit Changer from the Pit Viper 270 and 290 series resulted in a safe, reliable, and repeatable Pit Viper 351 solution. The durability of the consumables along with the speed of an ABC sequence increases the machine up time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The removable bit carousel allows storage of up to four bits onboard, offering flexibility and versatility for various drilling applications. The compact, above-deck design maximizes space utilization and ensures simplified and safer maintenance procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By reducing the possibility of human error, minimizing injuries, and increasing machine uptime, Epiroc continues to empower mining operations to achieve greater success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
