Product description
The Diamec Automated Rod Magazine is designed to work with the Diamec Smart 6M, Diamec Smart 6 and Diamec Smart 8. All rigs must be equipped with the rod handling system.
The Diamec Automated Rod Magazine (ARM) will boost your productivity, increase safety and reduce operational costs. The operator station is moved further away from the machine, which ensures that the operator is kept away from danger. A camera is mounted on the Diamec Smart rig, making it easier to check that rods are correctly threaded, directly from the operator panel. Threading is performed via a joystick-equipped control panel which is connected to the unit by cable. A dual grease brush and grease pump ensures that every pin thread is greased automatically when tripping in rods, which also helps to keep the operator out of risk zones. The control panel also provides the operator with information about settings and enables positions to be programed. It also presents a visual overview of the number of rods left in the cassette — and at what position the magazine is picking the rods. Two Diamec joysticks can be used in case the operator needs to control the magazine manually.
Additionally, the magazine also has the ability to rotate the gripper arm, which makes the alignment towards the rig flexible, and creates an easier setup. The magazine trips in rods with minimal operator input and trips out rods automatically with no extra assistance.
Get ready to shift your Diamec Smart drilling operation to the next level with the Diamec Automated Rod Magazine.
