We have now a Corescan™ with associated
software and special visualisation software
This core scanning machine makes
it possible to record and calibrate sections of drilling
core of 4 to 15 cm diameter up to one meter in length
in a single operation. The cores are rotated about their
longitudinal axis on a specially made mechanical system
and they are scanned by a digital line-scanning camera.
Rotation of the core is registered by means of an incremental
rotary position transducer and a new line is scanned
every time the circumference rotates by an increment
of 0.2 mm.
Scanning
software matched to the system processes the scanned data
and generates color images on the monitor screen. The
program runs under Windows® and displays an image of the
surface in the Windows Bitmap format. The program uses
this data to automatically calculate the structure's angle
of dip, direction of dip and joint relative to a previously
defined reference line. After editing, the whole image
can be stored on the hard disk and edited or printed.
The characteristic data for the registered structures
are entered directly onto the Core Image Analysis, Structural
Analysis or Statistical and Graphical presentation Software
programs for further analysis.
CoreScan Hardware
Key features include:
Digital acquisition and storage of full circumference cores
(360°) and slabbed cores in 24 bit true color (DigiCore
™ software system)
Core-Log Integration to geological profile by continuous composition
of cores with respect to their orientations and depths (CoreLog™
/ TecLog™ software system)
Depth-Matching with respect to evaluated core gaps. Evaluation
of the geological structures with a pickup routine (Bedding,
Joints, Fractures...)
Derivation of true depth, strike and dip of structures
Calibration and North-Orientation of the acquired structures
in connection with geophysical logs
Visualisation software
Printing option
include option for continuous log or “core boxes”
like.
Associated software is dedicated to visualize the complete
core section with zooming and printing
Software include tools to create a “core like“
drawing with rotation on the axis.
