NovaCompass gyrocompass for mining rig alignment

About The NovaCompass Drill Rig Alignment System

The NovaCompass is our flagship gyrocompassing platform designed for precision alignment in mining and drilling operations. It combines advanced dead-reckoning technology with drift-free azimuth capabilities to deliver exceptional accuracy even in challenging environments.

Designed to operate independently of GPS and magnetic references, the NovaCompass provides reliable heading information in all environments, including underground operations where traditional navigation systems fail.

Key Applications

Drilling rig alignment
Borehole trajectory planning
Mine shaft alignment
Tunnel boring guidance

Benefits

Increased drilling accuracy
Reduced operational costs
Works without GPS/magnetic references
Minimizes setup and calibration time

Why Gyrocompassing?

When GPS signals are blocked and magnetic compasses fail, gyrocompassing technology continues to provide reliable navigation.

Gyrocompassing works by detecting Earth's rotation, providing accurate heading information in challenging environments such as underground mines, tunnels, and deep caves where traditional navigation methods are unreliable.

At Align Engineering, our gyrocompassing solutions deliver precision navigation in the most demanding conditions, ensuring your operations continue uninterrupted even where other technologies fail.
