A control method for using a core drilling system is disclosed. In an embodiment the method includes detecting a predetermined drilling situation on the basis of the attainment of a predetermined threshold value for at least one predetermined corresponding drilling parameter and ending the core drilling operation by selecting a reverse-travel mode for removing the drilling tool from the borehole if the advancing device does not reach a predetermined threshold value for a predetermined corresponding distance value in a direction and the core drilling machine does not reach a predetermined threshold value for at least one predetermined corresponding drilling parameter or continuing the core drilling operation by selecting a predetermined operating mode if the advancing device reaches a predetermined threshold value for a predetermined corresponding distance value in a direction and the core drilling machine reaches a predetermined threshold value for at least one predetermined corresponding drilling parameter.

Intelligent core-drilling end detection

A control method for a core drill and a feed device for driving the core drill along a machine holding device, including the method steps: moving the core drill in a first direction; detecting the surface position of a material based on reaching a threshold value for at least one feed device parameter as a first reference value; moving the core drill in a second direction; operating the core drill in a tapping mode; moving the core drill in the first direction; detecting the surface position of a material based on reaching a threshold value for at least one corresponding drilling parameter as a second reference value; activating a water supply; and activating a regulating and control unit for adapting at least one drilling parameter as a function of at least one parameter of the feed device. A feed device for driving a core drill along a machine holding device for the use of the method, a core drill for the use of the method, as well as a core drilling system including a core drill and a feed device for driving the core drill along a machine holding device for the use of the method.

Intelligent surface detection and core drilling start

A control method for the use of a core drilling system including a core drill and a feed device for driving the core drill along a machine holding device. The method includes the steps of determining the end of a core drilling operation on the basis of reaching a predetermined threshold value for at least one corresponding predefined drilling parameter; and of selecting a reversing mode for retracting a drilling tool out of a borehole at a reversing rotational speed which corresponds to a multiple of a predetermined tapping rotational speed of the drilling tool at the beginning of the core drilling operation.
