In the late 1940 s, with the rapid development of pneumatic rock drilling machinery, the efficiency of rock drilling production has been continuously improved. However, in order to improve the output power of rock drilling machinery, it is necessary to increase the diameter of the piston, and the weight of the rock drilling machinery is also increasing. Some rock drilling machinery has been completely manipulated manually. In this case, the design concept of the rock drilling rig began to take shape. One or several high-power rock drills, together with the automatic propulsion mechanism, were installed on a special drilling arm, and then the whole device was equipped with a walking mechanism to realize continuous mechanized rock drilling.

When the rock drilling rig is applied to the initial stage of the actual rock drilling operation, the rock drilling rig, the control system, the rotation and propulsion mechanism of the drilling boom, and even the walking mechanism of the drilling rig are driven and controlled by pneumatic sources. However, it is this kind of simple structure, low cost drilling machine is applied to rock drilling engineering, not only reduce the physical labor of rock drilling workers, improve the working conditions, at the same time, compared with the manually operated air leg type, hand-held rock drilling machine, the increase in the volume and weight of rock drilling machine also means that there is sufficient space for the design of machinery with greater output impact work. The output power of the rock drill is increased, the same working surface can be multi-mechanized drilling at the same time, and the drilling rig has good stability in the drilling rig. As a result, the rock drilling rig not only greatly improves the drilling efficiency, but also has a fast footage and a straight and round hole, which is quickly praised by the engineering industry. The rising market demand has also stimulated the research and development enthusiasm of rock drilling machinery and equipment manufacturers.
