Cat® MineStar™ Command for Drilling

Cat MineStar Command for drilling ensures that every hole is accurately placed, drilled to the proper depth and angle, and able to stand up until blasting. A range of capabilities lets you configure and automate the drilling system to meet your budgets and needs.

Semi-autonomous single row drilling automates the entire drilling cycle for one row, including autonomous tramming. Autonomous pattern drilling automates drill cycles and tramming for the entire blast pattern and allows one operator to manage drill operations across the mine site from a remote operator station.

• Enhances fragmentation consistency by precisely executing drill patterns
• Ensures accurate hole placement — to the right location and hole depth
• Ensures better-shot material, which means smoother downstream operations
• Removes operators from dust and other hazards
• Through improved consistency, reduces the costs associated with fuel, drill tools and explosives
• Improves equipment utilization, productivity and operator effectiveness
