The new DAT TinyLog
Introduced at the Bauma Exhibition, the new datalogger of
DAT instruments is now in production. DAT TinyLog is 35
centimetres wide, 25 centimetres long and is less than six
centimetres thick.
A project evolution
Born from the top range DAT WideLog, this new instrument
is born from the market and the specific needs of operators.
It is a product with high performance, maximum functionality
and connectivity together with small dimensions.
“From DAT WideLog,” Amedeo Valoroso, CEO of DAT
instruments said, “the DAT TinyLog has inherited all main
technical characteristics. DAT TinyLog monitor is a 12-inch
coloured touch screen, which displays in a detailed way,
a huge quantity of graphics, numerical values and gauges,
and everything needed by the operator in order to drill or
inject in the most precise way. Obviously, this is a touch
screen deployed for the field… which can be used even
wearing gloves.”
DAT TinyLog is made of stainless steel and aluminium to
be as strong as possible. In addition, DAT TinyLog can work
in extremely high or low temperatures, sand and water. DAT
TinyLog is waterproof, thanks to the appropriate seals and
IP68 connectors. The system can also be remotely programmed
and supported through remote-assistance/e-care by DAT
instruments technicians for set up, maintenance or creation
of new customized functions.
Totally versatile
The new DAT TinyLog is a champion of versatility. As it is
possible to connect any kind of sensor, this new datalogger
can be used in any drilling sector.
Data can be downloaded via USB flash drive or uploaded
to the internet. In fact, the DAT TinyLog is equipped with an
ethernet port and Wi-Fi antenna for internet connection.
Moreover, it is also possible to install a 3G or 4G modem.
During the operating phase, data is transferred to every
single hole, and the results are available in the office in real
time. The data can be displayed on every kind of device and
all files are compatible with Microsoft Excel.
“It is perfect for the most innovative markets, but able
to work even in the most common fields. The price of this
datalogger is between the top of the range DAT WideLog
and the cheaper JET DSP 100, JET SDP and JET 4000 AME,”
said Valoroso.
CZM introduces long reach rig to fleet

CZM Foundation Equipment recently introduced a long
reach (LR) option to their fleet.
The LR version of these machines will serve applications
such as sound bearing walls, transmission lines and utilities,
drilling on a steep slope and difficult to reach holes. These
machines will be offered on Caterpillar and John Deere bases.
The LR65 will be mounted on a CAT 330 (or equivalent) and
the LR125 and LR160 will be offered on a CAT 336 (or equivalent).
The machines also have a specially-designed boom with two
lift cylinders which allows for a higher torque and crowd force
to be applied to the tool, which aligned with locking interlock
kelly bars, makes it efficient on rock and hard soil drilling.
Round friction bars are also available for high production
on softer soils. All these models will have extendable and
longer undercarriages. This really makes a big difference on
the stability and performance of the machine.
The largest model, the EK160, will have a torque of
155,000 ft-lb., a maximum drilling speed of 32 revolutions per
minute and spin-off of 120 rpm, 41,000 lb. of effective main
winch line pull and 45,000 lb. of crowd force with an operating
weight of 110,000 lb. All the machines come equipped with
a service winch, CZM’s technology package which includes
auto gear shifting, drill lock and auto crowd, auto level,
return to centre, telematics and other functions. The LR160
and LR125 are in production and the first units of each went
into operation in August.
Training and service support are provided by CZM and
equipment is available for rental, direct sale or rental/
purchase options.
