Can Rotary Drilling RIGS Be Operated Automatically

In pile foundation construction, rotary drilling RIGS are the "main force" for efficient hole formation. With the development of intelligent technology, many people are curious whether it can achieve automated operation - the answer is yes, its automated functions have permeated multiple construction links.

1. Automatic positioning and leveling: With the help of GPS and sensors, the rotary drilling rig can automatically move to the designated construction site. At the same time, it can automatically adjust the level of the machine body through the hydraulic system, and the positioning accuracy can reach the centimeter level.

2. Adaptive drilling parameters: The equipment can detect geological hardness in real time and automatically adjust the drilling speed and torque. For instance, it automatically accelerates when encountering soft soil and increases torque when encountering rock layers, thereby reducing human judgment errors.

3. Automatic soil taking and unloading: Once the drill bucket is full, the drill will automatically start the "soil scraping" action to shake off the remaining soil. When lifted to the soil unloading point, it can also automatically flip the drill bucket to complete the soil unloading without manual control.

4. Automatic vertical adjustment of the drill mast: The verticality of the drill mast directly affects the quality of hole formation. Through the tilt sensor, the equipment can automatically correct the tilt Angle to ensure that the vertical deviation of the borehole does not exceed the specification requirements.

5. Remote Monitoring and early Warning: Some models are connected to the Internet of Things system, allowing for remote monitoring of equipment status. When problems such as insufficient hydraulic oil and drill bit wear occur, an automatic warning will be issued.

6. Standardized process execution: After inputting the construction plan, the drilling rig can automatically complete the cycle of "positioning - drilling - soil extraction - soil unloading" according to the preset steps. In repetitive hole-forming operations, manual intervention can be reduced.

Conclusion: The rotary drilling rig has achieved the automation of multiple core operations, which not only enhances the construction accuracy and efficiency but also reduces the labor intensity of workers. However, at present, personnel are still needed to conduct overall control on the monitoring console, and its automation is continuously upgrading towards "fewer people" and "unmanned".
