Rig-mounted Diamond Core Drills

A rig-mounted diamond core drill is a heavy-duty drilling system mounted on a stable rig or stand, designed for precision drilling of large holes in tough materials like concrete, reinforced concrete, and stone. These systems are commonly used in construction and industrial projects that require high accuracy and power.

The drill is fixed to a rig or stand, providing stability during operation. The diamond-tipped bit rotates at controlled speeds to cut through hard materials, extracting a cylindrical core. The stand allows for precise alignment and reduces operator effort, ensuring consistent results in demanding applications.

• Precision: Offers greater accuracy for large-diameter or deep holes.
• Stability: Fixed mounting eliminates vibrations and improves cutting quality.
• Power: Handles tougher materials and larger diameters with ease.
• Operator Safety: Reduces physical strain and risk of kickback.
• Consistency: Ideal for repetitive drilling tasks in construction projects.

Unlike handheld or portable core drills, rig-mounted models are fixed to a stand, providing superior stability and power for heavy-duty jobs. They are designed for larger diameters and deeper drilling tasks, making them suitable for industrial and construction applications where precision and reliability are paramount.

• Core Drill Motor: Provides the power to drive the diamond-tipped bit.
• Drill Stand or Rig: Ensures stability and accurate alignment during drilling.
• Diamond Core Bit: Cuts through hard materials with precision.
• Anchor System: Secures the rig to the work surface for added stability.
• Water Supply System: For wet drilling, it cools the bit and minimises dust.

High-quality systems like the EIBENSTOCK PLE 182 feature robust components to deliver reliable performance in demanding environments.

The diameter range depends on the specific model and bit used. Rig-mounted drills can typically handle diameters from 50mm to over 400mm, making them ideal for large-scale projects like utility installations or structural modifications.

• Construction Projects: Drilling large holes in reinforced concrete for pipes, cables, and HVAC systems.
• Industrial Applications: Precision drilling for anchors or heavy machinery installations.
• Structural Modifications: Creating openings for doors, windows, or access points.

Rig-mounted systems are the go-to solution for tasks requiring large diameters, deep holes, or consistent accuracy.

• Safety Clutch: Prevents kickback and motor overload during operation.
• Overload Protection: Shuts off the motor to prevent overheating or damage.
• Anchor System: Ensures the rig stays securely in place during drilling.
• Water Flow Control: Minimises dust and keeps the drill bit cool.
• Emergency Stop: Allows operators to quickly halt the drill if needed.

Advanced models from EIBENSTOCK incorporate these features to enhance safety and reliability during heavy-duty application.
