This month, NASA awarded Honeybee Robotics a three-year, $750,000 contract to develop the Inchworm Deep Drilling System.
Two types of circulation techniques can be used for either a mud drilling system or an air or gas drilling system.
A next-generation drilling system, equipped with a thermal drilling device, is proposed for glacier ice.
This is further development of previously investigated model of a self-excited percussive-rotary drilling system.
Drilling system applications are subject to torsional vibrations that are induced by self-excitation mechanisms.
An instrumented drilling system can be applied for the acquisition of drilling process parameters.
According to Anthony Okello, Amref's deputy water and sanitation officer, malfunctioning parts of the drilling system have been sent to the Ugandan capital, Kampala, for repair.
Two years ago, Honeybee's engineers were working concurrently on the welding robot, for Consolidated Edison, and on a drilling system for investigating Mars.
The drilling system of the ship is designed to collect cores from below the ocean floor; it can handle 9,200 metres of drill pipe.
A laboratory experimental platform was also designed and constructed to replicate the torsional vibration time response of drilling system.
From the Lyapunov theory, we show an exponentially vibration stability of the partially equipped oil well drilling system.
