This Automated pipe handling system is remarkably easy for drilling and tripping operations, it significantly reduces operating times as well as risks for the staff on the drilling floor. This pipe handler is composed as follows
One (1) mechanical arm, hydraulically operated, complete with hydraulic clamp, for pipe handling from racking area to the mouse hole
One (1) vertically movable trolley hydraulically operated, with the function
of ensuring the handler arm a proper vertical stroke for pipe handling
This automated system makes the operator free: in fact, while the driller performs activities on the center well or mouse hole, this automated pipe handling system prepares offline another pipe or standin order to drastically reduce down time during tripping and make-up oerations.
The rotation of this pipe handler is hydraulic driven and its stop and alignment takes place by means of a mechanical limit switch (0-180°).
