iSERIES FAMILY
The iSeries family of rotary blasthole drill rigs represents the next generation of surface
drilling technology. Designed for the future, these automation capable drills are equipped
to meet your needs today and in the future.

iSeries drill rigs simplify operation using automated functions while an intuitive user
interface delivers a consistent operator experience across multiple drill models. The
comprehensive Sandvik Intelligent Control System Architecture (SICA), a key component
of our iSeries family, provides the operator with real-time feedback regarding the
machine’s performance and health, along with tools for drill planning, reporting and
analysis ensuring quality and consistency hole-to-hole.

 THE DR416i
BIGGER. SMARTER. STRONGER.

The DR416i blasthole drill delivers a single-pass capacity of 21m or 69ft, the longest
single-pass mast in its class along with a maximum depth of 42.4 m/139 ft. across all
recommended pipe diameters. Intended for large-diameter rotary drilling, (270–406
mm/10 5/8 – 16 in) the DR416i combines power and intelligence, taking the guesswork
out of daily operation and delivering a reliable high-yielding production environment.

The DR416i is AutoMine® ready providing functionality for both on-board and off-
board automated needs. This scalable solution, from on-board automation that
increases drilling efficiency to full autonomous operation, is designed to meet
customer needs both now and in the future.

The four key principles that led to the innovative design efforts that brought the
DR416i to life are:
