The Brand New SM-15 Micro Drilling Rig

Flexibility, performance, and a low environmental impact. These are the key points of the new design of the most versatile and reliable rig for the micro drilling sector, the SM-15.

SM-15: Versatility

The SM-15 design ensures versatility with rapid conversions of specific kits to provide a variety of configurations which can be utilised in multiple drilling applications.

With an extensive series of movements and mast inclinations, the rig can operate lateral positions in complete safety within even the most demanding of environments.

The SM-15 can be supplied with three types of kinematic mechanism:

Standard with cylinders
A slew ring for quick and precise adjustment +/- 180°
A ‘Front of the wall’ joint type to allow drilling on the side of the tracks and reach within confined spaces.

Equipped with a monolithic mast with 4000mm stroke by cylinder, the SM-15 has the option of a Modular mast with 4300mm + 5300mm and 7000mm stroke.

Additionally, the SM-15 has a range of rotary heads options with varying torques and drilling speeds. The new double rotary head will ensure a high performance in a compact size and can easily be converted to single rotary when required. The rotary side shifting device is also available in both single and double head configurations.

SM-15: Advanced Engine

SM-15 has the most advanced Cummins diesel stage V engine. With low idle control and efficient load sensing hydraulic plant to reduce noise, fuel consumption and carbon emissions the SM-15 ensures a low environmental impact.

The new soundproofed canopy is designed to minimise the sound level and increase accessibility during inspection and maintenance procedures.

SM-15: Enhanced safety and operation

SM-15 is designed to ensure the highest level of accessibility, visibility, and safety in compliance with EN16228 standards.

Hydraulic openable safety cages driven by cylinder
Additional trip wire devices
Wireless radio remote control
Slow rotation
Emergency stop buttons
ROM and SPM operation modes
Optional new carousel loading system
Optional hydraulic arm to handle rods & casing

The SM-15 is supplied with a full radio remote control for drilling, positioning, and tracking with the option to use a pivotal support arm or tripod for the operator’s convenience.

The control design increases operating speed and efficiency, being easy and intuitive to use with accessible gauges and controls grouped based on function.

Fitted with the DMS on board, the LCD display can both monitor and download the rig parameters as well as providing remote connection to the rig with DMS Manager 4.0, the cloud running app for asset, fleet, and site management.
