A method for initiating a remote operation mode of a work machine, the method including providing the work machine with a work machine-specific safety key; receiving, at a remote control station, a notification from the work machine in response to initiating the remote operation mode of the work machine by said safety key; acknowledging the work machine as being included in a safety system of the remote control station; and configuring the remote control station to start the remote operation mode of the work machine.

Arrangement for initiating a remote operation mode

A rock drilling apparatus and method for controlling the orientation of a feed beam of a rock drilling apparatus including a carrier, a drilling boom attached at a first end to the carrier, a feed beam attached turnably to a second end of the drilling boom, a drilling unit attached movably along the feed beam, and a support attached to the feed beam for supporting the drilling boom on the ground. The orientation of the boom and feed beam are adjusted to compensate for the orientation change caused by driving the support onto the ground.

Rock drilling apparatus and method for controlling the orientation of the feed beam

The disclosure relates to a mining vehicle and a method of moving a boom of a mining vehicle. The boom is provided with several boom joints and there is a mining work device at a distal end of the boom. One or more boom joint positions are determined and stored in a memory medium. A control unit of the mining vehicle may automatically move the boom to a predetermined transport position.

Mining vehicle and method of moving boom

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for opening threaded joints of drilling equipment () by striking the drilling equipment () with the percussion device of a rock drilling rig () and by measuring vibration originating from the drilling equipment () during striking. In addition to vibration, measuring means () measure a parameter defining at least one additional condition, on the basis of which the decision to stop striking is made.
