Inertial Sensing recently released their 32mm NorthFinder MEMS based survey system at the PDAC conference in Toronto. The tool was on show and created a lot of interest from various sectors.
The new NorthFinder takes independent readings at survey stations, giving gyro toolface, azimuth, inclination as well as gravity highside. The main purpose of the NorthFinder is to serve as an independent reference together with the isGyro for deep vertical boreholes. The NorthFinder consumes very little power due to being based on MEMS sensors, using as little as 1 W of power. This is especially useful when running the instrument in a heat shield as it vastly improves the downhole time, generating very little heat compared to competing systems. The gyro compass and accelerometer data are transferred to the field computer using WiFi which ensures very fast data transfer. The transfer time is less than a minute even for large surveys. The NorthFinder survey software is easy to use and install. The survey software runs on multiple Windows platforms including XP, 7, 8, 10 on both 32 and 64-bit systems. www.gyromax.com.au/northfinder.html #northfinder #isgyro #inertialsensing #gyromax #fieldtough #PDAC #mems #wifi

The isGyro MkII 300 Series now delivers the very latest in MEMS survey technology improving performance even further. The tool incorporates a 4th axis gyro improving rate capability and survey quality.
Combined with the Algiz 7 from Handheld, delivers rugged, reliable, fast performance. www.gyromax.com.au/isgyro.html #isgyro #inertialsensing #algiz7 #handheld #gyromax #fieldtough
GyroMax have recently been awarded Official Handheld Repair Centre status and are now the only recognized repair centre in Western Australia. We now complete Handheld warranty repairs in Western Australia allowing us to save you valuable time and money. No longer do you need to send your equipment to the eastern seaboard or overseas for repairs and all of our repairs use genuine Handheld components and maintain your Maxcare warranty status. GyroMax are pleased to be able to offer this new service to our customers. For more information go to www.gyromax.com.au/handheld.html or click the link below. Today marks an exciting day for the Handheld Group with the much anticipated release of the all new Algiz RT7 Rugged Android Tablet. The Algiz RT7, which runs Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), provides a wide range of features and exceptional value to mobile workforces. It’s fully rugged, meeting stringent MIL-STD-810G U.S. military standards for protection against drops, vibrations and extreme temperatures, and its IP65 rating means that it’s waterproof as well as fully sealed against sand and dust. Weighing just 650 grams, the Algiz RT7 is designed for mobility. Industry-leading technology from Qualcomm — an MSM8916 (Snapdragon) chipset and 1.2 GHz quad-core processor — powers the Algiz RT7 for impressive processing speed, ultra-fast connectivity and long battery life. The Algiz RT7 comes standard with LTE data and voice capabilities as well as 802.11 b/g/n WLAN, BT Class 1 and Class 2, and NFC functionality. It also boasts dual cameras (8-megapixel rear-facing and 2-megapixel front-facing), as well as dual SIM card slots. The unit comes with a built-in accelerometer, gyroscope and e-compass and a stand-alone u-blox GPS receiver for navigation. Designed for the mobile worker, the Algiz RT7 sports a high-brightness 7-inch outdoor-viewable capacitive display that can handle true outdoor challenges. Battery performance is key for any mobile application, and the Algiz RT7 comes with a long-life 3.7V 6000mAh lithium-ion battery. Four programmable buttons allow users to launch and use applications in the field. To enhance data capture, users can choose an optional 2D imager or RFID plus 2D imager. After years of research and development, Inertial Sensing's all new SlimGyro boasts significant hardware improvements. The innovative electrical design features built into the ultra-slim gyro have resulted in huge performance increases in rate measurement and survey data management. State of the art power management systems incorporated into the new SlimGyro deliver spectacular energy efficiency improvements, dramatically extending downhole survey time capability. With less than 0.2 watts of power consumption, the standard battery can keep the gyro system powered up and surveying for up to 80 hours, longer than necessary to complete the most demanding time-wise surveying job. These new and exciting innovations are now being incorporated into existing products such as the isGyro, demonstrating Inertial Sensing's dedication to constant improvement and development of the technology. The all new SlimGyro and isGyro are now available. GyroMax utilise Handheld rugged field PC's for operational control of their directional survey instrumentation.
We are currently undergoing field trials of the Algiz 10X in running our isGyro survey systems. To date our gyro systems have been controlled using Handheld's Algiz 7 field PC. This system has proven to be extremely reliable in harsh Australian conditions. The Algiz 10X offers the same level of ruggedness with the added benefits of a larger screen for easier viewing and touch functionality. It is rated to IP65 and meets stringent MIL-STD-810G military standards for protecting against dust, water, vibrations, drops, extreme temperatures and varying altitudes. Select one of the options below for more information. GyroMax can supply a range of high accuracy wireline winches designed specifically for use with modern survey and logging equipment.
Aimed primarily at the mining, geotechnical and civil engineering markets, our winches are manufactured locally in Perth, Western Australia and shipped globally. The winches are market leading in Australia and worldwide in terms of functionality, performance, reliability and safety. We have a standard range available and can also quote on customized models. For more information Click Here The Australian Drilling Industry Association (ADIA) represents over 1,000 drilling contractors, suppliers, consultants and associated organisations who operate in the mineral exploration, mining, water well, geotechnical and environmental sectors.
There are over 3,000 drilling rigs active in Australia, and many operate in remote locations where the support services most of us take for granted aren’t available. As a result, Australian drillers have a reputation for innovation and persistence, and the ability to ‘get the job done’ – despite the odds! Equipment designers and suppliers too have played their part and developed equipment that meets the needs of our drilling contractors. GyroMax, as suppliers of market leading MEMS directional survey equipment and survey services, are proud members of the ADIA. For information about the association or becoming a member go to their website here. You can view our company membership information here. GyroMax are pleased to announce that we are now official Handheld partners in Australia.
Handheld rugged computers are best known for their combination of high performance and strength to be able to handle the most demanding field applications. GyroMax can now provide a great range of rugged handheld and field PC units directly to our customers. We personally use handheld units in all of our survey packages and have done for more than 4 years with zero downtime. They have well and truly proved their worth to us in the field and we can now offer the same rugged reliability directly to you.
