Latest Patents
Christopher R Beasley holds a patent for a "Positioning system for blast hole drilling operations." This invention presents a method and system for capturing and aligning a drill pipe of a surface drill. The system includes a first arm assembly and a second arm assembly, each featuring an end effector coupled to a position adjustment mechanism. This mechanism is designed to receive a plurality of shims for positional adjustments relative to the drill pipe. The end effectors incorporate ramp features and elongate fingers that form the ends of the effectors. The arm assemblies are arranged at an obtuse angle to each other, creating a receptacle for the drill pipe. The method involves positioning the arm assemblies on a mast, actuating them upward and inward, engaging the drill pipe with the elongate fingers, guiding the drill pipe along the ramp features, and ultimately capturing the drill pipe in the receptacle formed by the end effectors.
