The KT5C Integrated down the hole drill rig for open use is an advanced drilling device integrating the down the hole drilling system and screw air compressor system, characterized by compact structure, excellent integrity and mobility.
[pdf] Built for mobility and precise down-the-hole drilling in small to mid-scale construction sites, JC710 offers a balanced combination of compact design, efficient power transmission, and stable hole-forming performance.
[pdf] Peter Sweeny, building on Robert Beart's earlier design, made a huge advancement in rotary drill technology, enabling almost continuous drilling. His new design also improved on hole cleaning. .
Charles Burleigh, John W. Brooks, and Stephen F. Gates patented a mechanical drill meant to be used on the Hoosac tunnel: the compressed air Burleigh drill. The tunnel spurred several innovations in drilling technology, including the earlier Couch/Fowle drill.. .
Edward A.L. Roberts was awarded a patent in November 1866 for what would become known as the Roberts Torpedo, a device for increasing. Launched in 1954 and capable of drilling wells in water up to 40 feet in depth, Mr. Charlie was the world’s first mobile offshore drilling platform. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in December 2024. Photo courtesy Murphy Oil.
