LM™ 30 Modular Core Drill

Technical Data Sheet ®

June 2011 Page 1 of 5

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The LM™ 30 Modular Core Drill has been developed for
ease of use in tight situations and locations where mobility
and quick setup time are important.

Size and weight were the prime concerns when developing

this small, lightweight drill rig.

FEATURES:
• PLC control system, which includes EPROM protection
• 400 series feed frame
• Auto break out
• 37kW Power Pack
• Spring close foot clamp
• 360° turntable
• Dumping feed frame
• Regen circuit to ensure feed speed is maintained.

DRILLING DEPTH GUIDELINES

The figures in these tables have been calculated, based on drilling techniques and equipment used. Depth ratings include
field experiences, and may be reasonably expected. Actual allowances for breaking of the core (rock strength 10MPa).
drilling capacity will depend on in-hole tools, conditions, Down hole conditions may result in depth capacity variations.
