DGS Touch - Overview

DGS Touch is an Intrinsically Safe (IS) Measure
Whilst Drilling (MWD) survey tool for Directional
Drilling in underground coal mines for gas
drainage, exploration and dewatering holes.

DGS Touch is operated entirely using the
touch screen which provides easy access to all
features of the system. The intuitive software
off ers only the screens relevant to the current
operation, which increases drilling effi ciency
and enables the operator to very quickly
access the specifi c functions required.

DGS Touch is designed to provide advanced
diagnostics, such as full battery management,
Downhole Instrument diagnostics and MECCA
line communication analysis.

Touch screen

All operations of the DGS are controlled
using the touch screen and the software
displays the menu buttons relevant to the
current operation.

Flameproof enclosure

The steel enclosure is manufactured to
comply with Australian & International
standards for safe use in underground
gassy coal mines.

Constant toolface

Real-time Toolface orientation is indication
on the colour LCD display and this angle can
be displayed in degrees or in hours.

LCD display

Full colour numerical and graphical
information is displayed on the LCD
screen including left/right deviation, up/
down deviation down track and real-time
Constant Tool Face (CTF).

Folding workspace

Provides a handy workspace for fi lling
out drilling records or any other tasks
requiring a fl at surface and it also
includes storage for documentation and
other items such as pens or pencils.

Downhole Unit

The DGS Touch Downhole Unit is an I.S.
MWD electronic survey instrument that is
installed behind the Downhole Motor on
the end of the Drill Rods when used during
Directional Drilling.

The Downhole Unit measures the Pitch,
Azimuth and Toolface survey information and
sends this data as well as system information
back to the DGS Touch Computer mounted on
the Drill Rig via the MECCA communications
system installed in the Drill Rods. MWD means
that the surveying of the drilled hole is far
more effi cient than other survey systems.
