How important is the North Seeker in the field of oil、mining and drilling?

In the past, mining drilling orientation mainly relied on traditional methods such as compass, GPS-based or flexible gyro-based direction finding equipment. However, with the continuous development of mining drilling technology, these traditional methods have gradually exposed many disadvantages.

Compass is easily disturbed by the surrounding magnetic field, and the measurement error is large. GPS-based direction finding equipment is blocked in underground or downhole environments, making it difficult to accurately find the north. Flexible gyro-based direction finding equipment is large in size and weight, and is not convenient for use in narrow spaces; its impact resistance is weak, and the measurement accuracy will also be greatly reduced.

Our cylindrical north seeker ER-MNS-09B/BH can effectively solve the problems of the above traditional methods.

Efficient Mining, North Seeker Assists Mining Drilling Operations

It can provide azimuth and attitude information solely by itself. It can be used in gyro tools or HDD tools, which can effectively reduce measurement errors. It can also be used in machinery such as underground tunneling machines.

Close drill bit installation

The length is 120mm and the diameter is only 30mm in cylindrical shape, and the weight is ≤150g. It can be easily installed in narrow spaces such as drilling rig probe pipes, and can independently measure azimuth angle and attitude angle (pitch, roll) to reduce errors.

High-precision north-seeking and orientation

The north-seeking accuracy of this north-seeker is 0.5°secψ(1σ), which can provide accurate azimuth information. The inclination measurement range is -85°~85°. It is not affected by magnetic fields and can be used in magnetic mining areas.

Self-alignment and attitude tracking function

After startup, it can automatically initialize alignment and then automatically determine the true north direction. The north-seeking time only takes 5 minutes. It can also track and provide attitude information.

Adapt to harsh environments

There will be strong impact and vibration during drilling. It can resist high impact vibration and ensure stable operation.

ER-MNS-09B is a normal temperature version with an operating temperature range of 5°C~+55°C. ER-MNS-09BH is a high temperature version, with an operating temperature range of 5°C~+125°C. Users can choose according to their needs.
