When identifying the most powerful rock drill, factors such as impact energy, RPM (rotations per minute), and drilling diameter come into play. The Epiroc PowerROC T50 has emerged as a leading contender:
[pdf] The drawworks reels in and reels out the drilling line. The drilling line is connected to the traveling block and hook which connect to the drill string. The drill string runs over the crown block and setup like a block and tackle pulley system.
