The GM2000 is a first-of-its-kind DTH drilling rig designed to exploit geothermal energy from 2,000 meter deep wells. It is designed to bring more value for the driller by maximizing the speed of the drilling process and, as importantly, by minimizing the down time of the rig.
With GM2000 the drilling process is automated. Drilling value monitoring keeps the driller constantly aware of the critical drilling parameters – even when the work takes place several hundred meters below the surface. GM2000 is operated using a CAN-bus control system. The system enables automated drilling with the GM Weight-on-Bit (WoB) control. The WoB keeps the drill bit pressure against the ground at predefined target level, optimizing the drilling speed and minimizing wear and damage to the bit. All the operations can be controlled and adjusted with a remote control.
