CAMERA

CAMERA 5580 0259 54 Mounted on the drill rig, this camera gives the operator a clear view of critical areas that are otherwise blind spots. It transmits a live video signal to the display in the cabin, which is essential for precise boom positioning, aligning the feed with the rock face, and general situational awareness around the machine. A clear, reliable image helps the operator work more efficiently and safely, especially in tight tunnels or complex drilling patterns.

A malfunctioning camera directly impacts both safety and productivity. Without a proper view, the risk of colliding with the tunnel wall, support structures, or other personnel increases significantly. Drilling accuracy can also suffer, as the operator has to rely on guesswork for positioning, leading to slower cycle times and poorly executed drill plans. The entire operation can be halted if the camera is a required component for automated sequences.

Common signs of failure include a flickering or completely black screen in the cabin. Before replacing the unit, always check the lens for dirt or damage and inspect the electrical cable and connectors for corrosion or loose connections. These are often the first points of failure due to vibration and moisture.
