Scaling

For over forty years, Brokk robots have been used for scaling applications in mines and tunnels all over the world. Scaling is considered a dangerous job and keeping operators away from dangerous areas is essential. The smallest robot can enter areas where no other scaling machine can and complete tasks that have previously been done by hand. In more open areas, a larger Brokk may be used as well. Because of the remote control, the operator can always be placed at a safe distance – away from the danger zone, but close enough to see what they are doing. Our three-part arm system allows for the precision required for safe scaling.

Over the years, Brokk robots have been mounted on different types of underground vehicles that can transport the machines between different work areas in a short time.
