The document describes the Simba mining rig. It discusses Simba's design philosophy and modular components. It also outlines several of Simba's models like the M2-M7 and L3-L6 rigs and their applications in mining methods such as sublevel open stoping, big hole stoping, cut and fill stoping, sublevel caving and block caving. The document provides information on Simba's control systems, components, options and case studies.

The difference (A)
between
the actual
distance of the
drill steel and the
reference distance
is shown on the
display.
The reference distance (X) is defined as the distance from the rig's laser to the drill
steel centre. The distance is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rig. The reference
position is with the boom pointing straight ahead, the boom telescope fully retracted
and the feeder positioned vertically.

57. 57
Menu Symbols
Note!
The value displayed requires that the feeder
is positioned vertically.
If not, the value will represent a hypothetical
distance as if the feeder was positioned
vertically and not the distance to the drill bit.

If no adjustment is
done, the drill plane
