Keywords:
PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION, INTRODUCTION TO UNDERCARRIAGEAND ROLLERAbstract
Surface Drilling Machines are large crawler mounted mining machines which have various component assemblies like boom, Feed assembly and rotation assembly, Track Assembly etc. While working in mines, machine needs to take various position of drilling for making a hole. Hence machine need to move from one hole position to another by tramming operation. Tramming is the process for moving the machine from one place to another.Roller wheels mounted to the crawler frame to transfer machine weight to the track. The wheels, acting as contact points, help distribute machine weight evenly across the ground through the track.Roller wheels also help in guiding the track. Roller wheels are a wear item and need to be replaced periodically or after wear. Currently weight of rig is: 15.5 ton. According to report and their pre study it is required to take some improvement action on crawler.
