R-63 Boart Longyear LS600 Track Sonic
With innovative designs and patented technologies, the LS™600; drills deeper, produces more accurate samples and serves more markets than any other sonic rig. The LS600 features a pneumatic isolation system inside the head, preventing resonant energy from transmitting to the drill rig. This directs the maximum amount of energy down the drill string to the face of the bit for improved penetration rates.
This rig utilizes a fingerboard for rod storage, a patented spring-loaded clamshell for safe rod management, a 90 ̊ head tilt for easy tripping and a full support vehicle equipped with a gantry crane for presenting rods to the head. It drills through and samples overburden and soft rock formations at or near 100% core recovery without the risk of refusal and without the use of fluids. In addition to producing a relatively undisturbed sample, the LS600 drills with as little as one percent deviation to depth enabling the driller to pinpoint exact sampling locations. A turbocharged 6.6-litre CAT® engine with 228 horsepower fuels the LS600, allowing drillers to reach depths of up to 600 feet.
