We have aligned all drilling products to use the same operator panel and joystick layout. It is the same for Boomer, Simba, Boltec and Cabletec rigs. The benefits are that it becomes easier for operators and service crew with the same layout as well as handling of spare parts and stock.
Regarding teleremote and multi-machine teleremote we can control any of our drill rigs from the same operator panel.
The two-lever setup has always been very popular when it comes to face drilling. In the bolting application we have increased the functionality by having new levers and different modes for different drilling tasks.
To further prepare customers for the change to Boomer M20, we have a training simulator where we can teach how our superior system works.
