With LASEROD™ You'll Be Drilling Straighter And Smarter...Right To The Bottom Line
With Boart Longyear's LASEROD™ Straight System you'll save time and money. That's because LASEROD™ has been engineered, manufactured and tested from the bit up with one goal: Create a drilling system for 115mm (4 1/2'') to 152mm (6'') diameters that delivers straight holes cost-effectively to 20m (60ft).
The 70mm (2 3/4'') diameter LASEROD™ System is capable of engaging more of the available power from the latest generation of super hydraulic top hammer drills. This results in higher overall productivity. What's more, LASEROD™ makes good use of this additional power to efficiently and consistently drill STRAIGHT HOLES.
