Drills
Position and drilling to correct depth has always been a challenge. We partner with Carlson to deliver the industry-best Drill Grade System, which uses the latest in global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technology.
The features and benefits of Carlson Software's Drill Grade System© improve the bottom line for mining or construction operations:
- Get correct depth of all holes
- Enable correct hole and row distance at bottom of the blast
- Eliminate need for surveyors to mark collar points and depth
Companies will find that GPS positioning with Carlson Drill Grade -- a GPS drilling system -- provides the answer to this issue
Key Benefits of Carlson Drill Grade System
- Accurate drilling for better blasting; better blasting for better fragmentation; better fragmentation for better improved bottom line
- Operators can navigate and position from within the cab without the need for a surveyor
- Design can be done from the office or in the field with easy-to-use interface
- Project and record hole depth
- Record and measure multiple drill parameters
- Set-up for angle drilling
- Remote wireless monitoring provides near real-time system feedback
- Ability for unlimited tagging of strata and to extract strata information
- Real-time location of all working machines displayed
- Reduces blasting costs
- Lowers survey costs
- Limits need for over and under drilling
- Enables all-weather operation, day or night
- Increases overall safety of operations
- Provides real-time information for operators and office personnel
- Keeps operator in the cab and out of harm's way, thanks to stakeless drill pattern layout
- Has both audio and visual alarms, set up for avoidance zones, to keep machines in safe working boundaries
- Prevents encroachment of individual machines with proximity warnings – operators know each machine's locations and alarms can be triggered if a proximity zone is breached
