Operating principle

The Robit Sense measurement software is a versatile tool for measuring boreholes. The measurement data can be saved in a database, where it can be viewed after drilling or at a later time.

Holes can be measured in two ways: 1) select a site and field before measurement, which allows you to define what hole to measure, or 2) measure a hole first and decide afterwards whether or not you wish to save it in a site. All holes measured in a field can be viewed simultaneously, which provides a good overall view of the holes throughout the field. A measured hole does not need to be connected to a worksite. Instead, it can be saved in the database separately.

Selecting a field before measuring a hole

The site can be selected before measuring a hole, in which case the measurement is done as follows:

  1. Select the site, level and field.
  2. Select the hole to be measured.
  3. Press the Start measurement button.
  4. Enter the starting angle of the hole, if it is known.
  5. Lower the measurement probe into the borehole.
  6. Press the Begin lifting button and start lifting the measurement probe from the borehole.
  7. Maintain the rod stationary for the time shown on the screen.
  8. Mark the measurement points at predefined intervals points using the touchscreen.
  9. Once the probe has been lifted, the hole measurement data is transferred to the computer.
  10. The data for the measured hole is linked to the selected hole automatically.

Measuring a borehole without selecting a field

Measurement is done as follows:

  1. Press the Start measurement button.
  2. Enter the starting angle of the hole, if it is known.
  3. Lower the measurement probe into the borehole.
  4. Press the Begin lifting button and start lifting the measurement probe from the borehole.
  5. Maintain the rod stationary for the time shown on the screen.
  6. Mark the measurement points at predefined intervals points using the touchscreen.
  7. Once the probe has been lifted, the hole measurement data is transferred to the computer.

The hole data is saved as follows:

  1. Select the worksite, level and field where the data is to be saved. If you do not select a site for the hole, it will be saved independently in the database.
  2. Select the hole from the drilled field.
  3. Link the transferred information to the drilled hole.
