DRILL RIG GUIDANCE DATA LOGGING
About the system
Modern high-end OEM longhole drill rigs are factory fitted with inclination and automation systems. These systems and drill rigs come at considerable cost, are difficult and expensive to maintain and offer limited data analytics capabilities.
The AJM longhole drill rig monitoring system was designed to compliment factory fitted OEM systems and to serve as a retro-fit bolt-on systems for drill rigs that have no systems.
The AJM longhole drill rig data systems are available in two configurations:
- A basic system inclination and display that assists the operator with boom alignment.
- A full data system which features ring design imports from Aegis and provides full data logging.
Inclination and operator alignment assist
The basic system retro-fit kit consists of:
- 4.3″ Robust operator display and RAM bracket
- Two robust CAN bus inclinometers for accurate measurement of Rotation and Dip angles
- Operator User Interface showing:
- Boom Rotation and Dip Angles
- Graphical representation of FAN design
- FAN design input screen
Data logging and analytics are only offered in the full data logging system.
Full data logging and inclination system
Full Data logging and inclination system consist of:
- 7″ Robust colour operator display and RAM bracket
- Two robust CAN bus inclinometers for accurate measurement of Rotation and DIP angles
- Depth measurement piggy-back on existing system OR retrofit on select drill rig models
- Operator User Interface showing:
- Boom Rotation and Dip Angles
- Drilling Depth
- Graphical representation of FAN design
- FAN design import from Aegis via USB or manual input
- Logging of as0drilled metrics, downloadable via FTP server of USB
- SSRS reporting and analysis of drilled FANs
