Axis electronic detonators are initiated only by identification number, a particular frequency, and an encoded signature pulse. It would be most difficult for illegal miners or automatic cash teller machine (ATM) bombers to use this system to initiate any explosives. Older technology required merely a match or small electrical current to initiate a detonator. Now software, a control box and logger are required. The new Axis system is ideal for complex blasts, vibration damping, and optimal fragmentation. A number of trial blasts have been carried out in August 2010 in mines in the Steelpoort area and Brits, as well as civil works in Rosebank.
Success with these trial blasts signal a new era in precision blasting technology and security.
