Drill Control Interface operates underground rigs.

Boart Longyear    Stone Mountain, GA 30086
Mar 15, 2013 With fully electronic drill control interface (DCI), drillers can operate LM™ series underground drill rig and rod handler at safe distance. One-touch rod feed and pull functionality allows operator to efficiently trip rods, while wireline drum counter enables semi-automatic descent and retrieval of wireline. Incorporating CANBUS technology for self-monitoring, DCI provides immediate feedback of drilling conditions and data logging for reporting and analysis.

Casing Shoe suits exploration and geo-technical applications.

Boart Longyear    Stone Mountain, GA 30086
Mar 14, 2013 Used to drill through overburden until bedrock is reached, CSUMX™ Casing Shoe can cut through various ground formations ranging from 1–9 on Mohs hardness scale. Patented UMX metallurgical formula enables shoe to stay sharp through crown matrix, which wears slowly during drilling to expose new, large synthetic diamonds. Razorcut™ design optimizes tracking and balance in hole, while Twin-Taper™ waterways optimize surface flushing to keep face of casing shoe clear.

Surface Drilling Roller Latch decreases wireline trip time.

Boart Longyear    Stone Mountain, GA 30086
Mar 14, 2013 Intended for surface drilling market, Quick Descent™ Roller Latch™ features Quick Descent Head Assembly with free flow design. Hollow spindle, latch body, integrated check valve, axial grooves, and tapered profile optimize flow of fluid directly from inner tube through head assembly. Design reduces fluid drag against Quick Descent Roller Latch for increased tripping speed. Also, roller latch technology eliminates low strength and jamming associated with swing-out latch mechanisms.

Surface Exploration Drill Rig enhances safety, productivity.

Mar 13, 2013 Along with CANBUS technology for self-monitoring and efficient rig operation, semi-automated LF™120A surface coring rig features hands-free rod handling system. Rod handler provides 270° pick-up capability, 2 m height adjustment, 180° rollover, and 100° slew. It is also equipped with fail-safe jaws and level sensors for safety. Able to manage 3 and 6 m rods in sizes from BQ–PQ, rig has open-face mast design that encloses rotating parts and applies unified guarding at operator level.

Reaming Shell is engineered for extended lifespan.

Boart Longyear    Stone Mountain, GA 30086
Mar 13, 2013 Designed to achieve straighter boreholes while maximizing number of meters drilled, RSUMX™ features thermally stable diamond (TSD) pins on leading edge sized to maximize diamond volume in high wear zones. Size of active pad surface area and hardness of impregnated diamond matrix also lend to operational efficiency. Ground OD and use of 25/35 synthetic diamonds enhance wear resistance, maximizing life span. Design promotes directional control by stabilizing bit in borehole.

Multipurpose Drilling Rig meets mineral exploration needs.

Boart Longyear    Stone Mountain, GA 30086
Feb 04, 2013 Designed to fit into 40 ft high cube container, LX™11 offers reverse circulation (RC) and diamond core drilling capabilities as well as multiple safety features. Rig can reach depths of 4,750 ft using NQ rods via diamond drilling and 1,065 ft using 4.5 in. rods via RC drilling. For increased productivity, 23.6 ft mast and top drive head allow 13 ft rods to be pulled under head. Single rotary drill head runs up to 1,200 rpm and offers max torque of 5,800 lb-ft at 100 rpm.

Diamond Coring Bit is built to serve geo-technical applications.

Boart Longyear    Stone Mountain, GA 30086
Nov 14, 2012 Offering range of ground formations, GTUMX™ supports drilling speeds and penetration rates required for shallow holes and conventional drilling in both exploration and geo-technical applications. UMX metallurgical formula, impregnated with large synthetic diamonds, optimizes penetration and bit life, while Razorcut™ design on face of bit accelerates exposure of diamonds. Width of tapered waterways improves surface flushing and cutting while reducing wear on inner-diameter of bit.

Diamond Coring Bit is effective in hardest ground conditions.

Boart Longyear    Stone Mountain, GA 30086
Mar 15, 2012 Along with cutting matrix that enables penetration of hard rock formations in extreme conditions, 10UMX(TM) features Stage(TM) waterway design. Geometry of windows sustains integrity of bit through its entire life, allowing for variety of crown heights. Twin-Taper(TM) design improves surface flushing, forcing debris through windows while keeping bit face clear and reinforcing inner diameter. Razorcut(TM) protrusion arrangement on face of bit promotes tracking and balance in hole when drilling begins.

Sonic Rig is effective even in varying ground conditions.

Boart Longyear    Stone Mountain, GA 30086
Mar 14, 2012 With sonic head of drill producung frequencies up to 150 Hz and depth capability of up to 600 ft, LS(TM)600 delivers accurate core sampling, less than 1% hole deviation, minimal waste, and accelerated penetration. No fluid, air, or mud is needed, and boreholes are cased continuously by first during drilling. This lets core barrel advance into substrate, followed by outer casing. Protective measure allows for accurate measurement of continuous in-situ core samples.

Underground Drill Head Assembly is designed for safety.

Boart Longyear    Stone Mountain, GA 30086
Mar 11, 2011 Roller Latch(TM) Head Assembly incorporates technology that promotes pump-in speed and productivity while utilizing large ball bearings for latching and hold-back braking to retain inner-tube assemblies in drill string for safe operation. Roller Latches deploy and retract radially, without swinging, and fit tightly onto outer tube to eliminate excessive wear. Locking couplings for Roller Latch head assembly are available in full-hole or stabilized carbide style.
