METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PERCUSSION DEVICE, SOFTWARE PRODUCT, AND PERCUSSION DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a method and software product for controlling a percussion device belonging to a rock-drilling machine, and to a percussion device. The impact frequency of the percussion device (7) is set so that the percussion device (7) forms a new compression stress wave (p) to the tool (8 ) always when reflected waves (h) from the previous compression stress waves reach a first end (8a) of the tool. This requires that the impact frequency be set proportional to the propagation time of the stress wave, whereby the length of the used tool (8) and the propagation velocity of the stress wave in the tool material are to be noted.
