Crawler type deep (water) well drilling rigs adopts full hydraulic control, top drive drives the rotation of drilling tools, and the drilling efficiency is extremely high. The overall layout is reasonable, and it adopts all-ground chassis for transportation, with good maneuverability.
[pdf] In this video we assemble a DIY micro drill rig (tiny DC motor + drill bit + frame) and a submersible water pump, then test drilling a small “well” and pumping water through tubing. I explain the mechanism, torque limits, and 3 upgrades for better performance.
[pdf] The hydraulic system is the muscle of the crawler mounted drill rig, and its control is a vital part of the overall control system. Hydraulic valves are used to direct the flow of hydraulic fluid to different actuators, such as cylinders and motors.
