Meet the World's Smallest Gyro

Small size, Big value


​It's hard to understand just how small the SlimGyro actually is without seeing it with your own eyes.  On paper, 21.56mm doesn't sound that small but when you see it up against the standard isGyro at 32mm, it is more than 10mm slimmer.  That's actually a whopping 30%.....yep, 30% slimmer.

When fitted inside the standard 26mm running gear it compares even better.  Other gyro systems run 38mm or 40mm running gear as standard.  Some tools can go down as low as 33mm OD in specialized slimline running gear but there is nothing as low as 26mm ....until now.  There is even a 1.2" or 30.5mm heat shield option which is still slimmer than any other standard running gear.

​The SlimGyro is a true game changer.

Applications

So, where can this tiny gyro come into play?

​​In mining applications this means anything can now accurately be gyro surveyed with a single tool.  RC and AirCore rigs, where the inner tubes can be as small as 32mm, can now easily be surveyed using the SlimGyro. Previously, these have been difficult to run a standard gyro through the rods, so are more commonly surveyed later in the open hole. Data from open hole surveys is typically less accurate and risks tool loss downhole so not ideal and can be costly. This can cause project delays and be expensive using specialised downhole directional service providers.  Huge time and cost savings can now be made simply by running the SlimGyro directly through the rods.....and because the tool is unaffected by magnetics, there is no need for expensive stainless steel rods to deal with.

The tool can also be used in any standard diamond drilling applications and is particularly good for tighter navi sections.  Raise Bores are another good application.

The SlimGyro is proving to be highly popular in underground production blast hole surveying.  Inside the standard 26mm brass running gear, the tool weighs in at only 3.5kg.  This makes for easy uphole surveying with less user fatigue and increased productivity.  GyroMax utilise a unique compact system for uphole surveying which includes the SlimGyro.  No other survey system is as easy to use or as accurate for this application.

​For more information on the SlimGyro or the products we supply in support of the SlimGyro, please give us a call.  We'd love to hear from you.
