Autobit
The Top Hammer Autobit is designed to enhance your automated operations in longhole/production drilling. With its long first grinding interval – more than twice that of standard bits – it will last through your entire shift change.
Automated drill rigs transformed our industry more than two decades ago, but even today few are used to their full potential due to drill bits that limit production. With Autobit in your toolbox, you raise your drilling potential and enable several more hours of drilling every day compared to standard products in automated conditions.
THE ENABLER OF AUTOMATION
Autobit comes with a new and innovative bit design and the addition of Sandvik’s pioneering PowerCarbide® grades. By combining a strong gauge row, fully ballistic button profile and carved out front design, as well as the wear resistant and self-hardening PowerCarbide® SH70 grade, it greatly increases productivity in automated longhole drilling operations. Your first grinding interval can be more than doubled, leading to extensively prolonged drilling in auto.
A longer bit life also means fewer bits to change and recycle, less manual handling, and reduced risk of injuries. It is safer and more cost-effective for you, and better for our environment.
