Devico launches rig alignment system

PRESS RELEASE: The DeviAligner automates a traditionally labour-intensive, time-consuming and expensive rig alignment procedure to provide instant alignment true north readings, with live readout whether operated above or underground.

According to Devico, the DeviAligner is using a north-seeking gyro system, with one of the fastest settling times available. With compact and rugged plug-and-play functionality, it is easily used to align drills and collars wherever the project is located.

DeviAligner is particularly suitable for underground and remote areas for tunnelling and mineral exploration drilling projects.
