DMT´s latest development in core scanning technology is a modular multi-sensor device that combines analytical sensors to measure chemical and mineralogical drill core composition in real-time. Additionally, smart machine learning techniques are used to classify the core samples into geological domains like lithologies or alteration zones. The perfect tool to support geologists and speed up decision-making.
ANCORELOG can be modularly equipped with an array of different analytical sensors enabeling continuous XRF profile scanning, hyperspectral imaging (VNIR – SWIR), high resolution RGB and UV scans, time-gated Raman, and LIBS. The modular approach helps to adapt the equipment to your project-specific requirements. The analytical sensors measure mineralogical and geochemical drill core compositions. Additionally textural, structural, and geotechnical features are derived from high resolution images.
ANCORELOG is designed for the use by geoscientists. Both, the data acquisition, and the data processing workflows are optimized for an efficient and friendly use experience. The easy use and high scan rates combined with real time processing can cover the daily production rate of a common drilling campaign.
Our team will help you to define the best sensor combination to meet the specifics needs of your project. A knowledge transfer is given to your professionals in the use of ANCORELOG, including the implementation of predictive models. Depending on the needs of your project, it is possible to buy or rent ANCORELOG. DMT´s global presence through our international offices provides on-site service, technical and commercial support.
