1. GENERAL
These instructions describe the testing and adjusting procedures, and the operating
principle of the THC 560 drilling hydraulic system.
To clarify the operating principle in different situations, flowcharts with colour codes
accompany the explanations.
Sandvik Service is always willing to give advice and help in any service problems.

2. SAFETY
Always follow WARNING --- marked instructions. Do all your work
carefully.

WARNING

Service and adjustment procedures are only allowed to persons who

have been given specific service training. Read the control panel
adjusting instructions before making any adjustments on it.
WARNING

Do not touch pressurized hydraulic hoses. They may have unnoticeable

cracks letting out thin sprays of oil that may penetrate through the skin.

WARNING

The oil circulating in the hydraulic system is hot enough to cause severe
burns on the skin.

WARNING

Observe absolute cleanliness when disassembling or assembling

hydraulic equipment. Blow all parts clean with pressurized air and wipe
them with clean, non ---fluffy cloth before assembling.
CAUTION

Take care of waste oil according to the local regulations.

5. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
5.1. Filtering of hydraulic fluid
The system uses pressure and return filtering. Pressure filtering is used in the pump (1)
circuit only, but return flow filtering is common to both pumps (1 and 50).
Hose--mounted filter (112) with filtering capacity of 20 m abs. is used for pressure
filtering. If the pressure difference over the filter rises over 2.5 bar, the indicator light H611
on the indicator light panel goes on, indicating that the filter element should be replaced.
The filtering unit body is also equipped with by--pass valve that opens if the pressure
difference exceeds 3.5 bar.
The return flow of both pumps passes through the return filter (113). The return filter is
mounted on the tank. The filtering capacity of the return filter element is 10 m abs. If the
pressure difference over the filter rises higher than 2 bar, the indicator light H607 on the
indicator light panel goes on, indicating that the filtering element should be replaced. The
filtering unit body is also equipped with by--pass valve that opens if the pressure difference
exceeds 2.4 bar.
The manufacturer’s recommendation for the purity class of the system is 17/13 according
to the ISO standard.

If the oil is cold (below +30C), both pressure and return oil filter
monitoring are bypassed to avoid unnecessary alarms caused by the
high viscosity of cold oil.
CAUTION

5.2. Air filtering of hydraulic oil tank

The hydraulic oil tank is also equipped with an air filter. Its filtering capacity is 5 mm. This
filter has no monitoring indicators but, to ensure the cleanness of hydraulic oil, it should
be replaced according to the service instructions.

5.3. Cooling of hydraulic system

The oil returning from the various actuators (except leakage oil) is gathered together in
common return line using a collector tube (115). From the collector tube (115) the return oil
is led through the cooler (114) and the return oil filter (113) into the hydraulic oil tank (110).
The oil cooler (114) is always in operation when water flushing is on. The cooling capacity
of the cooler can be increased by opening the ball valve (132) at the cooler.
The hydraulic system is also equipped with monitoring system for the hydraulic oil
temperature. The oil temperature in the tank is measured by sensor (111). This
temperature sensor stops the powerpack if the temperature rises higher than +75˚C. At
the same time, the signal light H610 in the warning light panel goes on.

7. OPERATION OF SYSTEM

7.1. Oil temperature of drilling

After cold start, hydraulic oil should be warmed up to drilling temperature before drilling
is started. This can be accomplished, for instance, by using an electric oil heater in the
tank.
The recommended oil temperature of the drilling is between 40-- 60 degrees (depending
on the type of the oil).

7.2. Reading diagrams

The following colors has been used in hydraulic diagrams for explaining different drilling
operations.
Blue -- percussion Dash blue -- percussion return line
Short dash blue -- percussion LS--line
Red -- feed Dash red -- feed return line
Short dash red -- feed LS--line
Green -- rotation Dash green -- rotation return line
Short dash green -- rotation LS--line
Yellow -- pilot control Dash yellow -- pilot return line
Short dash yellow -- pilot line
Brown -- return automatics Dash brown -- return automatics return line
Violet -- stabilizer Dash violet -- stabilizer return line

7.2.1. Valves

The rotation pump (50) sucks the oil from the tank (110) and pumps it into the rotation
circuit. The oil flow produced by the rotation pump (50) flows through the regulating valve
(55) of the rotation control block, the oil collector (115), the cooler (114) and the return oil
filter (113) into the tank (110).

7.3.2. Percussion and feed circuits

The variable displacement pump (1) takes oil in through the intake connection of the tank
(110) and pumps it into the percussion and feed circuits. As there is no consumption of
oil in these circuits during free circulation, it means that there is no pressure in the load
sensing line, either. The swash plate of the pump (1) is at 0 angle and the pump (1) is
merely maintaining a certain pressure (stand--by pressure) in the pressure line. The
stand--by pressure is regulated by the flow controller of the pump (1).
The pressure regulator / relief valve (43) regulates the pilot line pressure.

When the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58) is locked into a back position
(rotation to counterclockwise), pilot pressure will be able to affect the port a of the rotation
directional valve (53) and to the port P1 of the rotation speed regulating valve (59).
When the rotation pilot control valve (58) is locked into the back position, pilot pressure
affects the port a of the rotation control block changing the position of rotation directional
valve (53), and the port P1 of the rotation speed regulating valve (59). The oil produced
by the rotation pump now flows through the rotation directional valve (53), pressure
compensator (52), non--return valve (57), again through the rotation directional valve (53)
to the rock drill rotation motor (54). The oil flows also from the port P to the regulating valve
(55), the rotation pressure gauge (51), the anti--jamming valve (34).
Through the pressure compensator (52) the oil flows into the LS--line of the rotation control
valve. The oil flows also to the LS--pressure relief valve (65), to the flow regulator (56) and
to the regulating valve (55). In this situation the regulation valve (55) is activated and it tries
to keep the pressure in the main pressure line P always 15 bar higher than LS--line
pressure (= load pressure) resulting a constant pressure difference over the rotation
directional valve (53). This means also constant rotation oil flow to the rotation motor set
by the regulating valve (59).
The pressure difference between P--line and LS--line is made by the spring of the
regulating valve (55). The function of the flow regulator (56) is to unload the LS--line after
stopping the movement and centering the rotation directional valve (53). The flow
regulator (56) is a small pressure compensator flow control valve with a flow
approximately 1 l/min.
The return flow from the rotation motor (54) passes through the rotation directional valve
(53), connection T, the collecting piece (115), the cooler (114), and the return oil filter (113),
and ends up in the tank (110).
The leak oil from rotation pilot control valve (58) and rotation speed regulating valve (59)
will be first directed to the collecting piece (135) and from there to the hydraulic oil tank
(110).
Oil flows also from the connection M of the rotation control block to the connection P of
the control block of return automatics. From there oil flows through the pressure reducing
and relieving valve (127) and the check valve (124) to the pressure switch (123), to the
pressure relief valve (119) and to the front impulse cylinder (129), through the check valve
(126) to the pressure switch (125), to the pressure relief valve (118) and to the rear impulse
cylinder (130). Oil flows also through the orifices (121) and (120) to the oil collector (135).
From there oil flows to the hydraulic oil tank (110).

When the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) is locked into a back position,
(feed forward) pilot control pressure will be able to affect to control line d of the feed
directional valve (23) through the anti--jamming valve (34) and the shuttle valve (36). In
addition, the pilot pressure affects to the feed LS line selector valve (29) through the
shuttle valve (35), and to the percussion pressure selector valve (5) through the shuttle
valve (16). The pilot pressure affects also to the directional valve (44) via shuttle valve
(35).
The oil produced by the variable displacement pump (1) flows through the non--return
valve (116) and the pressure filter (112) to the port P1 of control block of drilling. From here
the oil continues to flow through the feed line pressure compesator (22) to the control
spool of feed directional valve (23) and from there to the feed line A max. pressure relief
valve (25) and through the connector A to the feed cylinder (28). From feed directional
valve (23) oil flows also to the spring housing of the feed line pressure compensator (22)
and through the shuttle valve (26) and the feed LS line selector valve (29) to the feed
pressure regulating valve (20). After the shuttle valve (26) the oil is able also to flow to the
feed pressure gauge (21) and through the shuttle valves (42) and (10) to the flow control
valve of variable displacement pump (1).
From connector P1 of control block of drilling the oil is able to flow to the pilot pressure
regulating valve (43) and from there to the rotation pilot control valve (58), the percussion
pilot control valve (14), the feed pilot control valve (31), the selector valve for separate
flushing (102), the fast feed pilot control valve (33) and the return automatics selector
valve (39) and the shank lubrication unit.
Oil from the feed cylinder (28) flows to the connection B of feed directional valve (23) and
from there still to feed line B max. pressure relief valve (24). From here oil flows through
the tank connector T3 of control block of drilling to the collecting piece (115), via the oil
cooler (114) to the return oil filter (113) and the oil tank (110)
The leak oil from the feed pilot control valve (31) is first directed to the collecting piece

7.4.3. Percussion
When the percussion pilot control valve (14) is locked into the back position, pilot control
pressure affects the water control valve (100) through the shuttle valve (103), and turns
water flushing on.
Pilot control pressure also activates the pressure switch (12) of the operating hour meter,
and affects the percussion selector valve (4) through the shuttle valve (15). The
percussion selector valve (4) opens the percussion main valve (3), and the output of the
variable displacement pump flows through the non--return valve (116), the pressure filter
(112), the compensator (2), and the percussion main valve (3) to the percussion
mechanism (13). In addition, the percussion circuit pressure reaches the pressure relief
valve (6) for half--power percussion, passing through the orifice (9) and the percussion
selector valve (5). After the orifice (9), the pressure also affects the pressure compensator
(2), and reaches the load--sensing line of the variable displacement pump (1) through the
the shuttle valve (10).
The pressure after the percussion main valve (3) also affects the percussion pressure
gauge (11).
The return flow from the rock drill (13) passes via the collecting piece (115), the cooler
(114), and the return oil filter (113) to the hydraulic oil tank (110). Leak oil from the
percussion pilot control valve (14) is directed first to the collecting piece (135) and from
there to the hydraulic oil tank (110).
When using rock drill with stabilizer oil flows also from the connection (P1) of the drilling
control block to the pressure reducing and relieving valve (136) and to the control valve
(137) of the stabilizer. The control valve (137) of the stabilizer is activated when using
loosening the thread function (the control lever of percussion in front position). In this
situation there is no control pressure in the stabilizer and the oil flows from the stabilizer
via the oil collector (115), the oil cooler (114), and the return filter (113) into the hydraulic
oil tank (110).

7.5. Drilling
7.5.1. Collaring
Collaring is composition of rotation, feed and percussion. All these functions are described
in the chapter “Rotation, feed and percussion”.
With the THC 560 system, collaring can be done accurately and smoothly by using the
stepless feed and rotation speed, and feed pressure adjustments. In collaring, feed and
percussion are connected in parallel.
The control lever of feed pilot control valve (31) is used for selecting collaring and
full--power drilling. The lever offers two operating ranges: half--power and full--power
drilling. On the lever movement, these two ranges are separated from one another by a
noticeable step. Full--power drilling starts when this step is passed.
Drilling is started by locking the levers of the pilot control valves for rotation (58) and
percussion (14) into the back position. When the lever for the feed pilot control valve (31)
is pulled backwards, the rock drill moves at the desired speed until the drill bit has
sufficiently penetrated the rock. Full--power drilling is started by locking the control lever
of the feed pilot control valve (31) into the back position.
Another method for collaring is to turn the feed pressure regulating valve (20) fully open
(counterclockwise) and then lock all three control levers (rotation, percussion and feed)
into the back position. Drilling starts now with half power, and continues so until the drilling
values are returned to correspond to full--power drilling by turning the feed pressure
regulating valve (20). In this collaring method, percussion and feed are also all time
connected in series.
When using rock drill with stabilizer oil flows also from the connection (P1) of the drilling
control block to the pressure reducing and relieving valve (136) and to the control valve
(137) of the stabilizer. The control valve (137) of the stabilizer is not activated during
collaring, drilling, anti--jamming automatics, return automatics or threading. In these
situation the oil flows through the control valve (137) to the pressure switch (138) and to
the stabilizer of the rock drill.

7.5.2. Drilling
After successful collaring, full--power drilling is started by locking the control lever of the
feed pilot control valve (31) into the back position. The percussion pressure selector valve
(5) changes its position and opens a connection through the sequence valve (18),
feed/percussion monitoring valve (8), and non--return valve (19) to the feed LS circuit.
Now, percussion and feed are connected in series, and percussion pressure depends on
feed pressure. The pressure difference between feed and percussion is determined by
the feed/percussion monitoring valve (8) and the sequence valve (18). The min. pressure
of percussion is determined by the sequence valve (18). The max. pressure of percussion
is determined by the percussion max. pressure relief valve (7).
When using rock drill with stabilizer oil flows also from the connection (P1) of the drilling
control block to the pressure reducing and relieving valve (136) and to the control valve
(137) of the stabilizer. The control valve (137) of the stabilizer is not activated during
collaring, drilling, anti--jamming automatics, return automatics or threading. In this
situation the oil flows through the control valve (137) to the pressure switch (138) and to
the stabilizer of the rock drill.

7.6. Anti--jamming automatics

The anti--jamming system operates in a situation where the rotation pressure of the drill
rod rises above a set value due to, for instance, a fissure in the rock. In this situation, the
operation of the hydraulic system differs from normal as follows:
When rotation pressure rises above the value set with the anti--jamming valve (34), the
valve (34) changes its position. The pilot control pressure now reaches the port c of the
feed directional valve (23) through the shuttle valves (37) and (38). This means that the
feed directional valve (23) also changes its position, and feed pressure enters the feed
line B, and feed starts pulling backwards. Feed pressure also reaches the load--sensing
line of the variable displacement pump (1) through the LS channel of the feed directional
valve (23) and the shuttle valves (26), (42), and (10). After the non--return valve (26), the
pressure in the feed LS line also reaches the pressure gauge (21). As feed backwards is
on, the reversing pressure affects the tank line T1 of the feed pressure regulating valve
(20). In this situation, the feed pressure regulating valve (20) does not determine the max.
reversing pressure but it is determined by the max. pressure regulating valve (24) of the
feed line B of the feed directional valve (23).
During the reversing phase, the rock drill (13) operates with full--power percussion. The
percussion pressure is restricted by the percussion max. pressure relief valve (7).
Feed reversing stays on until rotation pressure drops below the value set with the
anti--jamming valve (34). After this, the anti--jamming valve (34) changes its position and
the control pressure from the pilot control valve (31) reaches the control line d of the feed
directional valve (23) through the shuttle valve (36). The feed directional valve (23)
changes its position and feed pressure reaches the feed line A, whereby feed starts
forwards. Feed and percussion pressures are lower than normal, which is caused by the
lower feed resistance and the feed/percussion monitoring. Sequence valve (18) doesn’t
allow the percussion pressure go under the setting value. The feed and percussion
pressures return to their normal set values as the feed resistance rises normal.
The return flow from the rock drill rotation motor (54) passes through the rotation control
block, the collecting piece (115), the cooler (114), and the return oil filter (113), and ends
up into the hydraulic oil tank (110).
The return flow from the percussion mechanism (13) passes through the collecting piece
(115), the cooler (114), and the return oil filter (113), ending up into the hydraulic oil tank
(110).
The return flow from the feed cylinder (28) passes through the feed directional valve (23),
the collecting piece (115), the cooler (114), and the return oil filter (113), and ends up into
the hydraulic oil tank (110).
The return flow from the control block of return automatics passes through the collecting
piece (135) and ends up into the hydraulic oil tank (110).
The leak oil of the pilot control valves (14), (31) and (58) is directed first to the collecting
piece (135) and from there to the hydraulic oil tank (110).
When using rock drill with stabilizer oil flows also from the connection (P1) of the drilling
control block to the pressure reducing and relieving valve (136) and to the control valve
(137) of the stabilizer. The control valve (137) of the stabilizer is not activated during
collaring, drilling, anti--jamming automatics, return automatics or threading. In this
situation the oil flows through the control valve (137) to the pressure switch (138) and to
the stabilizer of the rock drill.

7.7. Flushing flow control (option)

7.7.1. General
Flushing flow control is an optional function. When this function is required, the rig will be
supplied with a water flow meter or / and air flow meter (when using air mist flushing) in
the flushing circuit. Each boom has its own separate flushing flow meter(s).
7.7.2. Function
When the water or air flow in the flushing circuit drops below the set value of the flow meter
(for example, due to lack of water / air or blocked drilling bit), the return automatics selector
valve (39) is activated which lets the pilot pressure affect the connection c of the feed
directional valve (23) via the shuttle valve (38). Now there is pilot pressure at both
connections c and d of the feed directional valve (23). The pilot pressure at the connection
c is higher than at the connection d. The spool of the directional valve (23) changes its
position so that the rock drill starts to reverse until the water / air flow is normal.

When return--automatics selector switch is

turned to zero--position, the air mist
flushing flow control is obstructed. Air mist
anti--jamming is not working, but standar
anti--jamming is working.

7.8. Impulse cylinder controlled return automatics

When return automatics is on and the rock drill reaches the front limit, starts the return
movement, with rotation turned on. As the rock drill reaches the rear limit, fast feed is
switched off and relay K70 is delaying by 0.2 sec and during this time the rotation of drill
rod stops. If the return automatics is desired to use without rotation, the control diode V19
in the JB 102--box must be removed.

Return automatics can also be used as an auxiliary function. In this case, the selector
switch S73 for return automatics must be turned to the right and then back, whereby the
rock drill starts return movement with rotation.
When the rock drill reaches the front impulse cylinder (129), the pressure switch (123/S80)
is activated, whereby percussion and feed control valves (14) and (31) are centralized (the
rotation pilot control valve (58) remains on). After that the control pressure in the said
control lines disappears, and the percussion selector valve (4) changes its position and
closes the percussion main valve (3).
Control pressure is also removed from the water control valve (100), and water flushing
is shuts off. The pressure switch (123/S80) activates the coil Y47 of the return automatics
selector valve (39), whereby the pilot control pressure regulated by the pilot control
pressure regulating valve (43) is able to reach the control line c of the feed directional valve
(23) through the return automatics selector valve (39) and the shuttle valve (38). In this
situation, the feed directional valve (23) immediately changes its position, and fast feed
is switched on.
Feed pressure also reaches the load sensing line of the variable displacement pump (1)
through the shuttle valve (26), (42), and (10), and after the shuttle valve (26), also the feed
pressure gauge (21). Fast feed backwards is on until the rear impulse cylinder (130) is
activated the limit switch (125/S81) . At the same time, the rotation pilot control valve (58)
is centralized, and rotation is turned off, also fast feed to backwards stops.
The return flow from the rock drill rotation motor (54) passes through the rotation control
block, the collecting piece (115), the cooler (114), and the return oil filter (113), into the
hydraulic oil tank (110).

When using rock drill with stabilizer oil flows from the connection (P1) of the drilling
control block to the pressure reducing and relieving valve (136) and to the control valve
(137) of the stabilizer. The control valve (137) of the stabilizer is not activated during
collaring, drilling, anti-- jamming automatics, return automatics or threading. In these
situations the oil flows through the control valve (137) to the pressure switch (138) and
to the stabilizer of the rock drill.

7.9. Proximity switch controlled return automatics (alternative)

7.9.1. General
The function principle of the proximity switch controlled return automatics is the same as
in the impulse cylinder controlled return automatics. The main differences are as follows:

-- Impulse cylinders are replaced with proximity switches

-- Return automatics control block is removed from the control system
-- Main functions (percussion, feed, rotation) are controlled directly via proximity
switches
7.9.2. Function
When the rock drill reaches the front limit proximity switch (S80), the percussion and feed
control valves (14) and (31) are centralized (the rotation pilot control valve (58) remains
on). After that the control pressure in the aforementioned control lines disappears and the
percussion selector valve (4) changes its position and closes the percussion main valve
(3).
Control pressure is also removed from the water control valve (100) and air control valve
(101), and air mist flushing is shutting off. The front limit proximity switch (S80) activates
the coil Y47 of the return automatics selector valve (39) whereby the pilot control pressure
regulated by the pilot control pressure regulating valve (43) is able to reach the control line
c of the feed directional valve (23) through the return automatics selector valve (39) and
the shuttle valve (38). In the same time the control pressure after the valve (39) is able
to reach the shuttle valve (134) and the air valve (101). In this situation the feed directional
valve (23) immediately changes its position and fast feed is switched on and air flushing
is turned on.
Feed pressure also reaches the load sensing line of the variable displacement pump (1)
through the shuttle valves (26), (42) and (10), and after the shuttle valve (26) also the feed
pressure gauge (21). Fast feed backwards is on until the rear limit proximity switch (S81)
is activated. At the same time the rotation pilot control valve (58) is centralized and rotation
is turned off. Also fast feed backwards stops. The return flow from the rock drill rotation
motor (54) passes through rotation directional valve (53), the collecting piece (115), the
cooler (114) and the return oil filter (113) into the hydraulic oil tank (110).
The return flow from the feed cylinder (28) passes through the feed directional valve (23),
the collecting piece (115), the cooler (114) and the return oil filter (113) into the hydraulic
oil tank (110). The leak oil of the pilot control valves (14), (31) and (58) is directed into the
hydraulic oil tank (110).

 THC 560 Drilling hydraulics

7.10. Manual control of fast feed

The manual control of fast feed is a proportional function, i.e. the inclination angle of the
control lever for the fast feed pilot control valve (33) determines the speed of fast feed (the
bigger the angle the faster the speed). The control lever of the fast feed pilot control valve
(33) centralized by a spring. Manual control of fast feed can, for instance, be used for
flushing drilled holes.
During fast feed (forwards) the system operates as follows:
Rotation and percussion are not on in this situation, as the rotation pilot control valve (58)
and the percussion pilot control valve (14) are in the central position. Free circulation of
rotation is explained in chapter ”Free circulation”.
When the control lever of the fast feed pilot control valve (33) is pulled to the back position,
pilot control pressure passes through the shuttle valve (36) to the control line d of the feed
directional valve (23). Now, the spool of the feed directional valve (23) changes its
position, and the pressure from the percussion circuit passes through the compensator
(22) and the feed directional valve (23) to the feed line A, and to the feed cylinder (28).
Feed pressure also passes through the shuttle valves (26), (42), and (10) to the load
sensing line of the variable displacement pump (1), and after the shuttle valve (26) to the
feed pressure gauge (21). The max. feed pressure of fast feed forwards is restricted by
the max. pressure relief valve (25) for the feed line A of the feed directional valve, and by
the fast feed max. pressure relief valve (30) for fast feed backwards.
The return flow from the feed cylinder (28) passes through the feed directional valve (23),
the collecting piece (115), the cooler (114), and the return oil filter (113), and ends up into
the hydraulic oil tank (110).
The leak oil of the pilot control valve (33) is directed first to the collecting piece (135) and
from there to the hydraulic oil tank (110).
When using rock drill with stabilizer oil flows also from the connection (P1) of the drilling
control block to the pressure reducing and relieving valve (136) and to the control valve
(137) of the stabilizer. The control valve (137) of the stabilizer is not activated during
collaring, drilling, anti--jamming automatics, return automatics or threading. In these
situation the oil flows through the control valve (137) to the pressure switch (138) and to
the stabilizer of the rock drill.

8. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
8.1. Threading
Threading means a situation where the drill rod is threaded on or off with a rock drill shank.
Threading is done with the control levers for the rotation pilot control valve (58) and the
feed pilot control valve (31).
In threading, the system operates as follows:
Rotation is turned on by pulling back the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58)
(if required, the speed of rotation can be adjusted with the regulating valve (59) for rotation
speed). Pull the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) backwards to feed the rock
drill forwards at a speed that corresponds to the thread pitch. Keep the feed speed
constant throughout the threading operation. Feed pressure can be adjusted suitable with
the feed pressure regulating valve (20) (normal feed pressure for drilling can be used as
the basic setting).
The hydraulic functions of rotation and feed are explained in chapter “Rotation, feed and
percussion”.
When using rock drill with stabilizer oil flows from the connection (P1) of the drilling
control block to the pressure reducing and relieving valve (136) and to the control valve
(137) of the stabilizer. The control valve (137) of the stabilizer is not activated during
collaring, drilling, anti--jamming automatics, return automatics or threading. In this
situation the oil flows through the control valve (137) to the pressure switch (138) and to
the stabilizer of the rock drill.
During threading, rotation pressure must be kept below the
anti--jamming activation pressure. If the pressure rises to this value, feed
direction is reversed.

8.2. Loosen the bit

When the percussion pilot control valve (14) is locked into the front position, pilot control
pressure affects into the percussion selector valve (4) through the shuttle valve (15) and
also into the percussion pressure selector valve (5) through the shuttle valve (16). The
percussion pressure selector valve (5) changes position and opens the serie connection
between feed and percussion. The percussion selector valve (4) opens the percussion
main valve (3), and the output of the variable displacement pump (1) flows through the
non--return valve (116), the pressure filter (112), the compensator (2), and the percussion
main valve (3) into the percussion mechanism (13). After the orifice (9), the pressure
affects into the pressure compensator (2), and reaches the load--sensing line of the
variable displacement pump (1) through the the shuttle valve (10). The oil flows also via
sequence valve (18), monitoring valve (8) and non--return valve (19) to the feed pressure
regulating valve (20). The pressure level of the percussion depends on now the
adjustment of the feed regulating valve (20).
The pressure after the percussion main valve also affects into the percussion pressure
gauge (11).
The return flow from the percussion mechanism (13) passes through the collecting piece
(115), the cooler (114), and the return oil filter (113), ending up into the hydraulic oil tank
(110).
Return flow from the feed regulating valve (20) passes through the directional valve (44),
the collecting piece (115), the cooler (114) and the return oil filter (113) ending up into the
hydraulic oil tank (110).
The leak oil of the pilot control valve (14) is directed first to the collecting piece (135) and
from there to the hydraulic oil tank (110).
When using rock drill with stabilizer oil flows also from the connection (P1) of the drilling
control block to the pressure reducing and relieving valve (136) and to the control valve
(137) of the stabilizer. The control valve (137) of the stabilizer is activated when using
loosening the thread function (the control lever of percussion in front position). In this
situation there is no pressure in the stabilizer and the oil flows from the stabilizer via the
oil collector (115), the oil cooler (114), and the return filter (113) into the hydraulic oil tank
(110).

8.3. Separate flushing

The THC 560 drilling system is equipped with a selector valve (102) for separate flushing.
This makes it possible to flush the drilled hole with air or water as a separate function after
the actual drilling.
The selector valve (102) for separate flushing can be locked, so that flushing can be left
on for longer periods. When the separate flushing selector valve is locked into the rear
position, water flushing is turned on, while the front position is for air flushing.
When water flushing (selector valve 102) is selected, the separate flushing function is as
follows:
When the selector valve is locked to the rear position, the pressure from the pilot control
pressure regulating valve (43) passes through the separate flushing selector valve (102)
and the shuttle valve (103) to the water control valve (100), and water flushing is turned
on.
The leak oil of the pilot control valve (102) is directed first to the collecting piece (135) and
from there to the hydraulic oil tank (110).

 THC 560 Drilling hydraulics

8.4. Using diesel engine for running rock drill

The THC 560 drilling system also allows the use the feed of rock drill with diesel. This
function is convenient in maintenance work, when the powerpacks cannot be used. When
the rock drill needs to be fed forwards or backwards with diesel power, the boom control
operating valve for zoom or feed transfer must be used in addition to the feed pilot control
valve (31). The directions of these two movements must always be chosen so that no
danger is caused to the operator or the rig.
When diesel power is used for running the rock drill forwards, the system operates as
follows:
When the feed pilot control valve (31) is pulled to the back position and, simultaneously,
the boom zoom cylinder, for instance, is run inwards, the pressure that comes from the
pilot control pressure regulating valve (43) reaches the feed control line d through the feed
pilot control valve (31), the anti--jamming valve (34), and the shuttle valve (36). In addition,
pilot control pressure passes through the shuttle valve (35) to the feed LS line selector
valve (29). The pilot pressure affects also to the directional valve (44) via the shuttle valve
(35). The oil produced by the carrier’s gear pump passes through the non--return valve
(117), the pressure filter (112), the pressure compensator (22), and the feed directional
valve (23) and to the feed cylinder (28) and through the port P5 of the percussion and feed
control block directly to the boom control valve. The pressure in the LS line of the feed
directional valve passes through the shuttle valve (26) and selector valve (29) of the feed
LS line, to the feed pressure regulating valve (20) and further through the selector valve
(32) of the feed LS line return circuit to the return line of the feed cylinder (28). The
pressure in the feed LS line also affects the feed pressure gauge (21). The pressure in
the feed A line affects the pressure relief valve / intake valve (25), and the feed B line
pressure affects the pressure relief valve / intake valve (24).
The return flow from the feed cylinder and the pilot control valves passes along the same
route as described in chapter “Feed”.
Never use percussion mechanism with diesel. Low pressure of diesel
controlled hydraulic system can damage components of the pressure
accumulator.

The pressure difference between feed and percussion is determined by the
feed/percussion monitoring valve (8) and the sequence valve (18). The basic value is
determined by the sequence valve (18). This value determines also the min percussion
pressure when drilling with full power.
Monitoring valve (8) deviates the percussion pressure according the feed pressure and
determines the starting point of the serie connection.
Turning the adjusting screw of the monitoring valve (8) clockwise increases the pressure
difference between feed and percussion and turning the screw counterclockwise
decreases it.
The final adjustment for the valve (8) is determined according to the rock conditions when
drilling with full power.

percussion--pressure gauge indicates 210bar. Lock the adjusting screw of the
valve (8) by tightening the locking nut.
Notice! Be careful when opening (screwing counterclockwise) the adjusting
screws of the valves (8) and (18). The adjusting screws will totally come out which
means that there is a risk of oil flush.
Notice! Check the settings of the feed-- percussion monitoring by drilling with
different power settings. If the shank does not smoke with any drilling power, the
settings are correct.

10. TROUBLESHOOTING
10.1. General
If the drilling system is not working as it should, check the following points before making
any further measurements:
D Signal lights, e.g.
-- hydraulic oil level
-- hydraulic oil temperature
-- pressure differences over return and pressure filters
-- water and air pressure control
-- powerpacks’ direction of rotation
-- etc.
D External leaks at hoses, connection, adapters, and other hydraulic components.
D Mechanical functions (e.g. sliding pieces, rollers and return wheels)
D Supply voltage to the drilling rig / the different devices.
D External cable damage.
D Mounting of electric plugs.
D Pressure gauge readings.

10.2. Pumps (1) and (50) do not rotate at all, or their speed is not
normal
1. Measure the supply voltage to the powerpack. If the voltage is correct, it is likely
that the fault is mechanical. If the electric motor does not receive sufficient control
voltage, refer to electric system troubleshooting.
2. Check if a mechanical damage prevents the pumps from rotating.
3. Repair or replace the damaged component.

Noisy powerpack normally predicts a mechanical fault. It is best to

immediately repair (or replace) the component that causes the noise, in
order to avoid any greater damage.
CAUTION

THC 560 Drilling hydraulics

10.3. Variable displacement pump (1) rotates normally, but the

settings of its regulator are not normal
The settings of the variable displacement pump (1) regulator are as follows:
-- Flow regulator (A) 22--30 bar
-- Pressure regulator (B) 225 bar
These settings of the variable displacement pump (1) can be easily checked as follows:
1. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 for feed and percussion.
2. Start the powerpack.
3. Read the stand--by pressure value in the pressure gauge
at the measuring point M1 (allow the pressure to stabilize).
4. Run, for instance, the zoom cylinder inwards and read
the pressure, at the same time, in the pressure gauge at
the measuring point M1.
5. Stop the powerpack.
6. Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point M1.

10.3.1. Flow regulator (A) value deviates from the set value 22--30 bar
1. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M7 for
feed and percussion. A B
2. Start the powerpack.
3. If the pressure at the measuring point M7 of the feed and percussion control block
is normal tank pressure, it is likely that the regulator A of the pump (1) is incorrectly
adjusted or sticking. Adjust the free circulation pressure of the pump (1) to the
correct value with the regulator A (Cf. “Adjustments of variable displacement pump
(1)”).
4. If the above measures did not help, stop the powerpack and repair or replace the
whole regulator unit. Adjust the regulator A or the regulator unit according to
chapter “Adjustments of variable displacement pump (1)”.
5. If the pressure at the pressure measuring point M7 of the feed and percussion
control block is over the normal tank pressure, it may be that one of the valves (3),
(4), (14), (23), (31), (33), (39), or of the boom valves, is sticking (i.e. one of the
above valves is leaking, and giving a control signal to the pump (1)).
6. Start troubleshooting by checking the condition of the pilot control valves (14), (31),
and (33), and the return automatics selector valve (39).
They can be inspected as follows:
-- Start the powerpack.
-- Install a pressure gauge to the following measuring points alternately:
-- measuring point M9 of the feed and percussion control block
-- measuring points M1, M2, and M3 of the anti--jamming and return
automatics control block

92 (107) C 50885--12 en 1110 / AR

 THC 560 Drilling hydraulics

-- If the measuring point M9 receives pressure, it is likely that the spool of the
percussion pilot control valve (14) is sticking.
-- If the measuring point M2 or M3 of the anti--jamming and return automatics control
block receives pressure, it is likely that the fast feed pilot control valve (33) or the
return automatics selector valve (39) is sticking.
-- If the measuring points M1 and M2 or M1 and M3 of the anti--jamming and return
automatics control block receive pressure simultaneously, it is likely that the feed
pilot control valve (31) is sticking.
-- Stop the powerpack and replace the faulty valves.
7. If the above measures did not help, check the operation of the valves (3), (4), (23),
and of the boom valve. They are inspected as follows:
-- Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 of the feed and percussion
control block.
-- Start the powerpack.
-- If the readings of the percussion (11) and feed (21) pressure gauges are zero, but
the pressure at the measuring point M1 is over stand by--pressure, it is likely that
the boom valve is sticking.
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Clean, repair, or replace the boom valve.
-- Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point M1.
-- If pressure reaches the percussion pressure gauge (11) and percussion operates
normally when the powerpack is running, it is likely that the percussion main valve
(3) or the percussion selector valve (4) is faulty. In this case, do as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve.
-- If pressure reaches the feed pressure gauge (21) when the powerpack is running,
it is likely that the spool of the feed directional valve (23) is sticking. In this case,
do as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Remove the spool of the feed directional valve (23).
-- Clean the spool and the spool housing carefully.
-- Reinstall the spool (do not use excessive force).

10.3.2. Pressure regulator (B) value deviates from the set value 225 bar
1. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 of the feed and percussion
control block.
2. Start the powerpack.
3. Run, for instance, the zoom cylinder inwards and adjust, at the same time, the
pressure regulator (B) of the pump (1) to the set value 225 bar.
4. If the pressure regulator does not react to adjustment, it is either sticking or faulty.
5. Stop the powerpack.
6. Clean and repair the regulator (B), or replace the whole regulator unit (adjust
according to chapter “Adjustments of variable displacement pump (1)”).
7. If the pressure regulator (B) operates normally during drilling, but the max.
pressure value of 225 bar is not reached when the boom is run, it is likely that the
boom valve’s main pressure limit is faulty. In this case, look up into “Hydraulic
boom” manual.

10.4. Percussion not working at all

1. If the percussion pressure gauge (11) shows a reading, but percussion does not
work when the control lever of the percussion pilot control valve (14) is locked into
the rear position, it is likely that the rock drill is faulty. In this case, do the following:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Repair or replace the rock drill (refer to rock drill manuals).
2. If the percussion pressure gauge (11) does not show any reading when the
percussion control lever (14) is locked into the rear position, it is likely that either
the percussion main valve (3) or the percussion selector valve (4) is sticking.
Check the operation of the valves as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve(s).
3. If the percussion pressure gauge (11) shows a reading, but percussion starts only
partially (or not at all) when the control lever of the percussion pilot control valve
(14) is locked into the rear position, and while boom functions are normal, it is likely
that the orifice (9) in the load--sensing line is blocked. Check the orifice as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Remove the plug from the port 9 of the feed and percussion control block.
-- Remove the orifice (9) and check if it is blocked (clear the hole as necessary).
-- Mount the orifice (9) and the plug carefully back on the port 9 of the feed and
percussion control block.

 THC 560 Drilling hydraulics

10.5. Percussion is on always when the powerpack or the diesel

engine is running
1. First, check tank line pressure of the drilling pilot control valves (58), (14), and (31).
This pressure should be less than 1 bar. The tank pressure is checked as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Install a pressure gauge to the tank line of the drilling pilot control valves (58), (14),
and (31).
-- Start the powerpack.
-- If the pressure in the tank line is over 1 bar, check if the tank line is correctly installed
or is there something blocking the line.
2. If the tank line pressure of the pilot control valves (58), (14), and (31) is below 1
bar, it is likely that either the valves (3) and (4) or the valve (14) is sticking. The
operation of the valves can be checked as follows:
-- Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M9 of the feed and percussion
control block.
-- Start the powerpack.
-- If the measuring point M9 shows no pressure, it is likely that the valve (3) or (4) is
sticking. Check the valves as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve(s).
-- If the measuring point M9 shows a pressure reading, it is likely that the valve (14)
is sticking (leaking). Check the operation of the valve as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Replace the percussion pilot control valve (14).

10.6. Percussion full--power max. pressure too high

1. If the percussion pressure is too high, start troubleshooting by checking the
adjustment of the percussion max. pressure relief valve (7) according to chapter
“Adjusting percussion full--power”. If the percussion pressure relief valve (7) is not
working properly, clean and repair, or replace the valve.
2. If the above measures do not make the pressure level correct, the fault may be that
the load--sensing line orifice (9) has loosened. The mounting of the orifice (9) is
checked from the port 9 of the feed and percussion control block as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Remove the plug from the port 9 of the feed and percussion control block.
-- Check if the orifice (9) is properly seated at the bottom of the drilling port 9.
-- If the orifice has loosened, retighten it carefully.
-- Mount the plug back on the port 9 of the feed and percussion control block.

C 50885--12 en 1110 / AR 95 (107)

THC 560 Drilling hydraulics

10.7. Percussion full--power max. pressure too low

1. If the percussion pressure is too low, start out by checking the operation of the
percussion max. pressure relief valve (7) according to chapter “Adjusting
percussion full--power”. If the percussion pressure relief valve (7) does not adjust
as described in the said chapter, clean and repair, or replace the valve.
2. Next, check the feed pilot control pressure value:
-- Remove the drill rod.
-- Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 for the anti--jamming and return
automatics.
-- Start the powerpack.
-- Run the rock drill against the front stopper by locking the control lever of the feed
pilot control valve into the rear position.
-- If the pressure at the measuring point M1 is not 19--21 bar, it is likely that the feed
pilot control valve (31) is faulty.
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Replace the feed pilot control valve (31).
-- If the pressure at the measuring point M1 is approx. 19--21bar, it is likely that the
percussion pressure selector valve (5) is faulty or sticking. Check the operation of
the valve as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve (5).
3. Percussion pressure may also drop if the load--sensing line orifice (9) becomes
blocked. Check the orifice (9) as follows:
-- Start the powerpack.
-- Turn percussion on by locking the control lever of the percussion pilot control valve
(14) into the rear position, and move the boom at the same time.
-- If the boom functions are normal, but the percussion pressure remains low, it is
likely that the orifice (9) in the load--sensing line is at least partly blocked. Check
the orifice (9) hole as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Remove the plug from the port 9 of the feed and percussion control block.
-- Remove the orifice (9) to check it (clear the hole as necessary).
-- Mount the orifice (9) back carefully.
-- Mount the plug back on the port 9 of the feed and percussion control
block.
4. If the output of the pump (1) is insufficient, the percussion pressure will drop. The
output of the pump (1) can be checked by installing flow meters to the percussion
and feed lines. The flow rates for percussion (HL560 / HLX5) and feed (TF500 and
TFX 500) are following:

Feed type Percussion Feed

Cylinder feed 100 -- 115 l/min 4 -- 8 l/min

96 (107) C 50885--12 en 1110 / AR

 THC 560 Drilling hydraulics

If the flow rates are higher than those given above, you should immediately check the
condition of the rock drill or the feed cylinder.
5. A drop in percussion pressure may also be caused by a leaking shuttle valve (10).
Check the shuttle valve as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Clean or replace the valve (10).
6. Check the condition of the pressure gauge (11) with a calibrated reference gauge.

10.8. Percussion half--power pressure too high

1. If the percussion half--power pressure is too high, check the adjustment of the
percussion half--power pressure relief valve (6) according to chapter “Adjusting
percussion half--power”. If the pressure relief valve (6) does not work as it should,
clean and repair, or replace the valve.
2. If the pressure level is not correct after the above repair, the reason may also be
that the orifice (9) of the load--sensing line has loosened. The mounting of the
orifice (9) is checked from the port 9 of the feed and percussion control block as
follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Remove the plug from the port 9 of feed and percussion control block.
-- Check if the orifice (9) is properly seated at the bottom of the drilling port
9.
-- If the orifice has loosened, retighten it carefully.
-- Mount the plug back on the port 9 of the feed and percussion control
block.
3. High pressure level of percussion half--power may also result if the percussion
pressure selector valve (5) is sticking. Check the operation of the valve as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Clean and repair, or replace the valve (5).

THC 560 Drilling hydraulics

10.9. Percussion half--power pressure too low

1. If the percussion half--power pressure is too low, check the adjustment of the
percussion half--power pressure relief valve (6) according to chapter “Adjusting
percussion half--power”. If the pressure relief valve (6) does not work as it should,
clean and repair, or replace the valve.
2. If the pressure level is not correct after the above repair, the reason may also be
that the orifice (9) of the load--sensing line has become blocked. Check the orifice
(9) from the port 9 of the feed and percussion control block as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Remove the plug from the port 9 of feed and percussion control block.
-- Remove the orifice (9) at the bottom of the drilling.
-- Clear the orifice hole as necessary.
-- Mount the orifice (9) back to the bottom of the hole carefully.
-- Mount the plug back on port 9 of the feed and percussion control block.

10.10. Feed not working at all (drilling)

If drilling feed is not working at all, check the adjustment of feed pilot control pressure.
Feed pilot control pressure is checked as follows:
1. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 of the anti--jamming and return
automatics block.
2. Start the powerpack.
3. Lock the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) into the rear position.
4. If the pressure at the measuring point M1 is approx. 19--21 bar, and the feed
pressure gauge (21) also shows a pressure reading, it is likely that the feed
cylinder is faulty, or a mechanical fault prevents feed. Repair or replace the faulty
component(s).
5. If the pressure at the measuring point M1 is approx. 19--21 bar, but the feed
pressure gauge (21) does not show any reading, it is likely that the spool of the feed
directional valve (23) is sticking. Check the operation of the spool as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Remove the front cover of the feed directional valve (23). The spool
comes out with the cover.
-- Clean the spool and the valve housing carefully.
-- Mount the spool back with care.
If there is no pressure at the measuring point M1, it is likely that the feed pilot control valve
(31) is faulty. Repair as follows:
1. Stop the powerpack.
2. Replace the valve (31).

10.11. Drilling feed pressure too low

Troubleshooting should be started by checking the operation of the feed regulating valve
(20). This is done as follows:
1. Start the powerpack.
2. Lock the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) into the front position.
3. Check if the feed pressure regulating valve (20) adjusts the feed pressure
according to the chapter “Adjusting feed pressure”. Read the pressure value in the
pressure gauge (21).
4. Release the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) into the middle position.
5. Stop the powerpack.
If the feed pressure regulating valve (20) does not adjust according to the chapter
“Adjusting feed pressure”, it is likely that either the valve (20) or the feed cylinder is faulty.
Check the condition of the components as follows:
1. Stop the powerpack.
2. Plug the feed pressure line.
3. Start the powerpack and check if the feed pressure regulating valve (20) adjusts
according to the chapter “Adjusting feed pressure”.
4. If the valve (20) adjusts according to the chapter “Adjusting feed pressure”, it is
likely that the feed cylinder is faulty. Repair or replace the faulty component.
5. If the feed pressure regulating valve (20) is still not adjusting, it is likely that the
valve (20) is faulty. Clean and repair or replace the valve.
If the above repairs did not remedy the feed pressure adjustment, check the feed pilot
control pressure value. It should be approx. 19--21 bar. Check the pressure as follows:
1. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 of the anti--jamming and return
automatics block.
2. Remove the drill rod.
3. Lock the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) into the rear position.
4. If the pressure at the measuring point M1 is not approx. 19--21 bar, it is likely that
the feed pilot control valve (31) is faulty. Repair as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Replace the faulty pilot control valve (31).

10.12. Drilling feed pressure too high

1. First, check the operation of the feed pressure regulating valve (20) as instructed
in chapter “Drilling feed pressure too low”, section 1. If the pressure regulating
valve (20) does not adjust according to the chapter “Adjusting feed pressure”, it
is likely that the valve (20) is faulty. Repair as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Clean and repair, or replace the valve (20).
2. If the fault was not removed, follow the instructions in the Chapter “Drilling feed
pressure too low”, section 2. If the pressure at the measuring point of the
anti--jamming and return automatics block is well over 21 bar, it is likely that the
feed pilot control valve (31) or the fast feed pilot control valve (33) is faulty. Check
the operation of the valves as follows:
-- Install pressure gauges to the measuring points M1 and M2 of the
anti--jamming and return automatics block.
-- Start the powerpack.
-- If pressure reaches the measuring point M2 only, it is likely that the fast
feed pilot control valve (33) is faulty, but if both measuring points receive
pressure simultaneously, it is likely that the feed pilot control valve (31)
is faulty.
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Replace the faulty valve.
3. If the fault still was not removed, it is likely that the compensator (22) of the feed
directional valve (23) is faulty. In this case, the feed directional valve (23) must be
replaced as a complete unit.

10.13. Manually controlled fast feed not working

1. If manually controlled fast feed is not working at all, troubleshooting should be
started by checking the pilot control pressure of fast feed. The pressure is checked
as follows:
-- Install pressure gauges to the measuring points M2 and M3 of the
anti--jamming and return automatics block.
-- Remove the drill rod.
-- Start the powerpack.
-- Run fast feed back and forth by turning the control lever of the fast feed
pilot control valve (33) forwards and backwards.
2. If the measuring points M2 and M3 receive an approx. 30 bar pressure, and the
feed pressure gauge (21) also shows a pressure reading, it is likely that the feed
cylinder is faulty, or a mechanical fault prevents the movement.
-- Repair or replace the faulty component(s).
3. If the measuring points M2 and M3 receive an approx. 30 bar pressure, but the
feed pressure gauge (21) shows no reading, it is likely that the spool of the feed
directional valve (23) is sticking. Check the operation of the spool as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Remove the front cover of the feed directional valve (23). The spool
comes out with the cover.
-- Clean the spool and the valve housing carefully.
-- Insert the spool back with care, and mount the front cover.
4. If the measuring points M2 and M3 receive no pressure, it is likely that the fast feed
pilot control valve (33) is faulty. Repair as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Replace the faulty valve (33).

THC 560 Drilling hydraulics

10.14. Manually controlled fast feed too slow

1. Start troubleshooting by checking the pilot control pressures of fast feed in both
directions. The pressures are checked as follows:
-- Install pressure gauges to the measuring points M2 and M3 of the
anti--jamming and return automatics block.
-- Remove the drill rod.
-- Start the powerpack.
-- Run fast feed back and forth by turning the control lever of the fast feed
pilot control valve (33) forwards and backwards.
2. If both measuring points show an approx. 30 bar pilot control pressure, it is likely
that the fault is caused by either the adjustments of fast feed max. speeds or the
adjustment of fast feed max. pressure. Check the adjustments as follows:
-- Run the rock drill against the rear stopper by locking the control lever of the fast
feed pilot control valve (33) into the front position.
-- If the feed pressure gauge (21) shows the set 210 bar pressure, it is likely that the
fast feed max. speeds are incorrectly adjusted. Adjust the fast feed max. speeds
according to instructions in chapter “Adjusting fast feed max. speed”.
-- If the fast feed max. pressure is not at the set value, adjust the pressure according
to chapter “Adjusting fast feed max. pressure”. If the adjustment does not correct
the situation, the fault is caused by either the fast feed max. pressure relief valve
(30) or the feed cylinder.
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Plug the feed cylinder.
-- Start the powerpack.
-- Run fast feed forwards by pulling the control lever of the fast feed pilot
control valve (33) backwards.
-- If the fast feed pressure now adjusts to the set value, it is likely that the
feed cylinder is leaking or the feed has mechanical fault. Repair or replace
the faulty component(s).
-- If the pressure does not adjust with the fast feed max. pressure relief
valve (30), it is likely that the valve is faulty. Clean and repair, or replace
the valve (30), and adjust as instructed in chapter “Adjusting fast feed
max. pressure”.

10.15. Manually controlled fast feed too fast

If manually controlled fast feed is too fast in either direction, the fast fed max. speeds are
incorrectly adjusted. Refer to chapter “Adjusting fast feed max. speed” for adjustments.

 THC 560 Drilling hydraulics

10.16. Rotation pressure too low

1. If rotation pressure is insufficient during drilling, you should immediately check the
setting of LS-- pressure relief valve (65) of the rotation control block. Refer to
chapter ”Adjusting max pressure of rotation circuit”. If the LS-- pressure relief valve
(65) does not adjust to the recommended value (180 bar), it is likely that the valve
(65) is faulty. In this case, clean and repair or replace the valve and adjust it
according to the instructions in chapter ”Adjusting the max. pressure of rotation
circuit”.
2. If the rotation pressure is lower than normal during drilling, the reason may be that
the feed pressure is too low or the oil flow to feed is too small. In this situation, there
is a risk of underfeed, and the following points should be checked:
-- Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 of the anti--jamming
and return automatics block.
-- Remove the drill rod.
-- Start the powerpack.
-- Lock the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) to the rear
position.
-- If the pressure at the measuring point M1 is approx. 19--21 bar, it is likely
that the feed pressure is insufficient.
-- If the pressure is well below 19 bar, it is likely that the feed pilot control
valve (31) is faulty. Replace the faulty valve (31).
3. If the rotation pressure persistently remains low, it is likely that the rock drill rotation
motor is leaking.
-- Replace the rock drill rotation motor.

C 50885--12 en 1110 / AR 103 (107)

THC 560 Drilling hydraulics

10.17. Rotation pressure too high during drilling

1. Too high rotation pressure during drilling may be caused by too high feed pressure
or incorrect drill rod rotation speed.
-- Refer to chapter “Adjusting rotation speed” for rotation speed adjustment.
-- Adjust feed pressure so that rotation pressure sets between 80 and 100
bar.
2. If the above adjustments did not bring down the rotation speed, it is likely that the
rock drill rotation motor or the rotation mechanism is faulty.
-- Refer to the rock drill maintenance manuals.

10.18. Rotation speed regulation not working

1. If the regulation of rotation speed is not working, start troubleshooting by checking
the rotation speed pilot control pressure. The pressure is checked as follows:
-- Install measuring adapters and pressure gauges to the pilot control lines a and b
of the rotation control block.
-- Turn the rotation speed regulating valve (59) fully closed (clockwise).
-- Start the powerpack.
-- Lock the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58) into the rear position.
-- Lock the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58) into the front position.
-- Release the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58) to the middle
position.
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- If the pilot control lines of the rotation control block received an stand by--pressure,
it is likely that the rotation regulating valve (59) is faulty or the rotation directional
valve (53) is sticking. Check the operation of the valves as follows:
-- Clean and repair, or replace the rotation speed regulating valve (59).
-- Start the powerpack.
-- Lock the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58) into the rear
position.
-- Turn the rotation speed regulating knob between extreme positions.
-- Release the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58) to the
middle position.
-- Stop the powerpack.

104(107) C 50885--12 en 1110 / AR

 THC 560 Drilling hydraulics

-- If the rotation speed regulation still did not work, it is likely that the rotation
directional valve (53) is sticking. Check the operation of the rotation directional
valve (53) as follows:
-- Stop the powerpack.
-- Remove the rotation directional valve (53).
-- Clean the spool and the valve housing carefully.
-- Mount the valve back in place.
2. If the above repairs did not help to remedy the rotation speed regulation, it is likely
that the rock drill rotation motor or the rotation mechanism is faulty.
-- Refer to the rock drill maintenance manuals.

10.19. Return automatics fast feed not working

If the rock drill does not start return movement automatically from the front limit, check if the
return automatics selector switch is in the correct position (middle). If it is, check if the coil Y47
of the return automatics selector valve (39) at the anti--jamming and return automatics block is
receiving control voltage.
-- If the coil of the valve (39) receives control voltage, it is likely that the valve (39) is
sticking.
-- Clean and repair, or replace the valve.
-- If the coil of the valve (39) is not receiving control voltage, refer to instructions in
chapter “Electric system troubleshooting”.

 BOMBA DE CAUDAL VARIABLE

La unidad de control montada en la bomba controla el ángulo de la placa oscilante. La bomba cuenta
con controladores independientes para la presión y el caudal.
El conducto B1 de la unidad de control recibe la presión del sistema. A través de los orificios de los
husos de la unidad de control, la presión pasa al extremo izquierdo de los husos de control.
El conducto A va hasta el pistón de control, que controla el ángulo de la placa oscilante.
El conducto T va hasta la carcasa de la bomba, y se conecta al depósito a través de la línea de
drenaje.

3.1. Controlador de presión ID: 28596

Cuando se incrementa la presión en la línea B1, el huso de la unidad de control P se desplaza a la

derecha, contra el resorte. Cuando se alcanza la máxima presión establecida, la conexión de B1 a
A se abre, y el aceite fluye al pistón de control que reduce el ángulo de la placa oscilante.
El tornillo de ajuste C se usa para ajustar la presión máxima del sistema. La presión debe ser aprox.
20 bares inferior a la presión de apertura de la válvula principal de alivio de presión (=válvula de
seguridad).

3.2. Controlador de caudal ID: 28597

El caudal varía dependiendo de la demanda del sistema. La presión del sistema a través de B1 afecta
al extremo izquierdo del husillo F. La presión procedente del conducto de detección de carga X afecta
al extremo derecho, donde está situado el muelle. La diferencia de presión en la válvula direccional
del sistema V fuerza al huso del regulador F contra el muelle. Si se incrementa la diferencia de
presión, la conexión entre las líneas B1 y A se abre, y la bomba se ajusta a un caudal más bajo. Si
se redcue la diferencia de presión, la conexión entre las líneas A y T se abre, incrementándose
también el caudal de la bomba.

3.2.1. Conductos de detección de carga ID: 28598

Es posible ajustar varios sistemas (X1, X2, etc.) al mismo tiempo controlando las presiones LS de
cada sistema.

3.2.2. Presión de reserva ID: 28599

Si no hay ningún dispositivo en funcionamiento, el conducto de detección de carga X no tiene presión,

porque está conectado a la línea del depósito a través de la válvula direccional. La presión del sistema
procedente de B1 fuerza al huso regulador de caudal F hacia la derecha, contra el muelle. La
conexión de B1 a A se abre, y la bomba se ajusta a caudal cero y presión baja.
La presión de reserva del sistema se ajusta con el tornillo D. Cada valor deberá ajustarse siguiendo
las instrucciones de ajuste de la bomba (depende del sistema).
