NORDIC SUPPLIERS becoming a vital part in modern strategies. Exploration drilling cannot be different. Added customer values on Diamec Smart together with Exploration Manager, will help our customers in this industry to move on in this journey.” says Ebrahim Nikafroozi, Global Product Manager at Epiroc. Devico recently launched the new DeviAligner, a portable, battery operated north seeking gyro alignment system designed to make and record highly accurate measurements of True North, inclination and roll angles for both surface and underground applications. The DeviAligner automates a traditionally labour intensive, time consuming and expensive rig alignment procedure to provide instant alignment true North readings with live readout whether operated above- or underground. The DeviAligner is using a state-of-the-art north seeking gyro system, with one of the fastest settling times available. With compact and rugged plug-and- play functionality, it is easily used to align drills and collars wherever the project may be located. DeviAligner applications include diamond drilling and reverse circulation drilling. This innovation follows the launch of DeviSight Surface drill hole positioning technology, one of the most accurate system currently available on the market. Using the GPS signal to measure alignment, the instrument provides 0.5 degree azimuth accuracy and calculates position within 30 cm of latitude and longitude. The final surface positions are stored in a secure format. Highly versatile, the DeviSight Surface can be used for any type of surface applications: drill collar, drill head, etc. Its rechargeable battery can run up to 13 hours on a single charge, providing twice the capacity of its closest competitor. The DeviSight Surface features an onboard management system hat connects to any smartphone by wifi and the collar azimuth can easily be transferred. Devico will also celebrate 30 years of innovation and core drilling product development this year with a new head office in Trondheim that will double its office space, calibration and manufacturing capacity. Underground equipment The factory of Kingnor Mining Equipment, the joint venture company formed by Normet Group and JCHX Mining Management has been inaugurated in Daye, Hubei Province, China.
