Compact UX600 / U4 Underground Drill Rigs User - Friendly Operation

Diamec U4, our most recent addition to the range, is based on the tried and tested Diamec U6 rig. It’s very compact and powerful for its size and easy to set up. Ideal for both underground and surface drilling, it can be equipped with a long or short feed frame and wire line equipment. The push-equals-pull feed cylinder also allows for maximum capacity uphole and downhole drilling. 

• Unique, versatile, and easy-to-use positioner for drilling in any direction.

• Equal pull and push capacity for optimal drilling.

• Available with Automated Performance Control (APC) for efficient, user-friendly operation.

The compact UX600 underground core drilling rig’s unique, versatile, and easy-to-use positioner makes it possible to drill in any direction. Its equal pull and push capacity optimizes drilling performance. The UX600 is available with Automated Performance Control (APC) for efficient, user-friendly operations.

Compact and reliable

•     A direct acting feed cylinder for improved control and decreased service needs. 

•     A rod holder with long life gas cartridge for wide opening and high clamping force, easy to remove for 
service/replacement and equipped with redundant seals for improved safety.
•     Updated rotation unit design, with more drilling power, increased reliability and longer service intervals.
•     Hinge mounted rotation unit and rod holder together with compact design, which makes it perfect to operate in confinded spaces. 

Safe and ergonomic

•     A newly designed feed frame guard with improved protection on both sides of the rig and more user friendly handling.
