SOLSA Sonic Drill

A fully electronic dual channel safety system is constantly guarding for any person coming too close to hazardous areas around the rig. This system makes physical fencing, which decrease productivity, unnecessary. The remote-controlled rod handling system bans heavy manual rod lifting and makes ergonomic ‘Hands Free Operation’ possible. This drastically reduces the risks for both sudden and long term injuries.

And of course, all systems are conform the latest environmental and emission norms.

A Monitoring While Drilling (MWD) system is integrated to keep constant information about machine performance and the response of the system to changes in circumstances and/or settings. This information can be used to find the optimal configuration and settings for optimal representativeness of the drill core sample.

The compact sonic drill rig makes it possible to work data driven. The MWD system keeps the operator constantly updated about machine performance and the response of the system to changes in circumstances and/or settings. Drilling with optimal settings will favour production, OEE and prevents downtime! The sonic drill rig  is equipped with a data gateway for connectivity with the SOLSA Database. The collected performance data together with engine condition data can therefore be used for remote geotechnical analysis, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Since the rig is fully digital operated, it is possible to change settings within a few seconds through one centralised and intuitive touch screen. This is what we call future proof!

All these features, and many more, make the sonic drill rig highly versatile, competitive and above all safe. It can be delivered together with a tooling system that suits your specific needs. The definitive step into the new century.
