DeepRock OTTO
The innovative DeepRock
Automatic Rod Handling System has been developed over a period of years
as a result of requests from the drilling community for a safe, efficient, mechanical
system for handling drill rods.
There are two essential components to this rod handing system
which has been in service for over 20 years: The DeepRock Automatic Breakout System
and the OTTO automatic Drill Rod Loader.
DeepRock Automatic Breakout System
The drill rods have two important features:
They have upset tool joints, which is to say the threaded
connectors on each end are larger in diameter than the long section of pipe in the
middle. The other feature is a pair of ribs, or fins, or lugs welded at the
female end of the drill rod.
Welded lugs at female end of upset rod
When the rod is placed in our special bowl and slip assembly
it cannot fall through because the upset tool joint is larger than the opening in
the bowl. It cannot rotate very far because the welded lugs strike against
blocks inside the bowl and slip.

The rods are free to move up and down, however, no wrench or clamp
is needed to thread a drill rod into and out of the bowl and slip.
The "OTTO" Automatic Drill Rod Loader
The OTTO Automatic Drill Road Loader utilizes a mechanical arm to swing down and
pick up a drill rod, stand it up, and move it into position under the drill
head.
OTTO positioning a drill rod
All this is done with one, easy to use, reliable control. A smart hydraulic
system takes the arm through the various movements.
There are no critical positioning controls or manual adjustments
to get precise alignment. OTTO does everything.
OTTO Control Stick
The drilling operator can continue drilling while the OTTO system fetches and prepares to position the next drill rod.
The OTTO system has three stacks of drill rods for a total of 300 feet of drilling
rod.
After using all the rods in one stack the drilling rig operator merely flips a stop
plate up which tells OTTO to take rods from the next stack.

For the first time, it is truly possible for one man to effectively
operate a drill rig that does not cost a fortune.
