On Diamec Smart rigs, controls are laid out in an intuitive way to facilitate its use to the driller. The lightweight control panel can be positioned inside or outside the cabin so the driller is able to choose the best place to work. The cabin is FOPS and ROPS certified, offering a safe and pleasant environment. These are the features that were taken into consideration when deciding on this equipment.
In addition, the Diamec Smart 6M has an advanced rig control system so it can operate automatically. Drilling parameters are set and monitored from the touch screen on the control panel. Automated features such as auto-drilling, can drastically improve bit life compared to manual drilling.
“These are characteristics to which we pay close attention to, since they reduce the risk of core loss and drill deviation, which minimizes drilling errors and operator fatigue,” says Francisco Javier Perez Lira, Head of Mining and Exploration Department at Insersa.
