System delivers instrumentation for drillers

TruCore is an integrated core orientation system that enables drillers to increase productivity and decrease spend on consumables, Boart Longyear says. According to the company, when compared with other systems, additional extensions are not needed when the integrated TruCore housing is combined with Boart Longyear’s outer tubes. Boart Longyear says TruCore’s marking technology allows one tool to always be in the hole. The design uses optical communication to send measurements to a handheld control device, allowing the drill string to stay assembled. The pocket-sized controller simultaneously controls the two core orientation instruments, increasing productivity by validating measurements while minimizing errors.
