| Built to Last in Tough Underground Service ACM drillmobiles are built with the same rugged chassis components as the universally respected Joy Ram track drill. Structural integrity comes from rigid, box-type frame construction with heavy steel side frames. Full length rock guards, solid steel idlers and drive sprockets, and wide forged steel crawler treads stand up to rocky, abrasive conditions. Sure-footed tramming power for negotiating rough bottom and grades up to 30% comes from two 11-1/2 horsepower Joy Pistonair radial air motors. The high torque radial motors operate independently through totally enclosed, geared transmissions providing all the power needed for tramming and crawler steering. Automatic, self-adjusting, spring-actuated and air-released brakes for each air motor insure safe, positive control in nearly any tramming situation. When necessary, the air motors can be readily declutched for towing. Plainly the ACM chassis and drive train assure long-lasting reliability in virtually any underground working condition. In addition, a functional operator's station located at the rear of the chassis provides convenient tramming operation plus finger-tip control over all boom, feed and drill operating functions. 
Joy Hydraulic Booms Joy hydraulic booms are designed for use on Joy ACM drillmobiles equipped with Joy drifters and feeds. Heavy-duty, double-acting hydraulic cylinders provide full range travel for full face coverage. Booms are fabricated from heavy gauge seamless tubular steel for strong, rigid support of drifter and feed in any drilling position. This rugged construction insures optimum stability for drilling straight, true holes in any attitude. Standard safety features include spring-loaded "Off" controls. Automatic lock checks in all cylinders hold boom position firmly for setup and drilling and prevent cylinder movement in the event of line failure. Joy offers a complete selection of all-hydraulic booms for underground mining or construction. All are available in 11-ft. length. The Joy MRB boom is standard equipment on ACM drillmobiles. This mediumweight boom provides boom lift, swing and roll functions; plus feed swing, tilt, and feed extension (typically, 4-ft. feed extension with a Joy 10-ft. chain or screw feed). A unique mechanical lock mechanism prevents the boom from rolling while drilling to insure straight holes. An offset version of the MRB boom eliminated blind spots. Joy MCF Chain Feed Available in standard travel length of 12-ft. The heavy-duty, 1-in. pitch feed chain is driven by a five-cylinder Pistonair motor operating through a single-stage, cone-type gear reducer and positive worm gear drive. Feed chain idler sprockets turn on grease lubricated bearings. Furnished as standard is a drop-down, latch-type centralizer. A mid-point centralizer is optional and recommended for feed lengths over 10-ft. | ACM Drillmobile Features - Side Frames - Heavy steel construction with full-length rock guards, solid steel sprockets.
