The new rig control system consists of electrical and hydraulic components and radio remote control (RRC), adopting the proven technology from larger models in the Atlas Copco drill rig family, the FlexiROC T25 R and T30 R.

Other improvements include a new cylinder feed in three different lengths, new reinforced drill steel support, new hose routing with three bulk-heads, new front facing feed holder and easier service access.

The FlexiROC T20 R MkII comes with the COP 1435 rock drill. It has almost 30% higher impact energy and 30% higher rotation torque than the previous model. With an impact power of 14 kW together with smooth cylinder feed action, the drilling performance has increased by up to 40%, the manufacturer says.

Atlas Copco global product manager Marcus LeĆ¼ said: "In response to requests from our customers around the world, upgrades have now been made making the new FlexiROC T20 R the best drill rig in its class of compact, radio remote controlled drill rigs."
