Sonic Drilling
Sonic is an advanced form of drilling that uses high frequency resonance energy that is generated in the Sonic head to drive a core cylinder into geological formations. During drilling the resonance energy with high frequencies is transmitted to the drill surface via the drill string. By simultaneously rotating the drill string, energy and impact are evenly distributed over the drilling surface.
Design
- Compact design requires small mounting space
- Strong bearing system off the main shaft
- Main shaft is designed as a hollow shaft, for most drilling methods
- All mechanical components and bearing with time lubrication and cooling
- compatible to drill rigs of all manufacturers
