Easy to learn. Easy to operate.
Leopard™ DI610i offers a smooth learning path from training to production. Operators begin with the new SimDriller+ program to practice key tasks safely and learn the same assisting automation sequences used in real drilling. Training continues in the spacious iCab, which allows a trainer to guide the operator directly in the cabin. In daily work, the operator assisting automation sequences reduce repetitive tasks and ensure consistent, accurate operation.

Spacious iCab with trainer seat
Sandvik’s iCab is designed for clarity, comfort, and control. It offers a spacious working environment with a trainer seat and room for on-the-job guidance from behind the operator’s seat.
SimDriller+ training program
The SimDriller+ training program builds operators’ skills to use rig features effectively through realistic, hands-on learning. The SimDriller simulator mirrors real drill rig behavior using the same controls as Leopard™ DI610i, while a ready-made library of progressive training scenarios supports step-by-step development from basic operation to advanced practices.
Operator-assisting automation sequences
Ensure consistent drilling performance and reduce drilling and pipe-handling errors with the help of the Leopard™ DI610i’s simple operator-assisting automation sequences, including auto collaring, drilling monitoring automation, hole-finishing control, and thread opening assist. In daily work, the assisting sequences help reduce repetitive tasks and ensure consistent, accurate operation.
Serviceability and smart maintenance tools
The carrier layout enables convenient, ground-level service access, while remote monitoring services (RMS) support customers’ own maintenance operations. Powerful digital tools help manage costs, ensure timely maintenance, and simplify fault diagnostics, supported by features such as consumable logging, service light indicators, and delay codes.
