Polestar Alignerâ„¢
High-Precision Gyroscopic Rig Alignment Tool
Polestar Aligner™ is a portable, rugged, and easy-to-operate gyroscopic rig alignment tool engineered for complex mining environments and extreme latitudes. It uses an inertial navigation system and north‑seeking gyroscope technology to align drilling rigs with high precision, even in the most challenging conditions.
Eliminate Costly Alignment Errors
Misaligned setups lead to cumulative errors, rework, duplicate drilling, distorted structural core data, compromised resource models, and corrective holes that raise costs and delay schedules. Polestar Alignerâ„¢ prevents these issues by delivering accurate alignment from the very first meter.
Key Advantages
✓ Total Autonomy – Operates on surface or underground without GPS, base stations, or external cables.
✓ Magnetic Immunity – Unaffected by ferrous mineralization or heavy equipment; no angular drift.
✓ True North Accuracy – Locks onto true north and delivers high‑precision dip alignment.
✓ Designed for High Latitudes – Performs reliably from the equator to the poles, surpassing traditional gyroscope limitations.
✓ Instant Data – Displays orientation on‑screen and syncs to the cloud for immediate decisions.
✓ Maximum Portability – Compact and lightweight, deployable by a single operator at the collar.
✓ Easy to Use – ‘Click in‑n‑out’ mounting system and intuitive interface – ready from day one with no extensive training.
Precision in Extreme Conditions
Polestar Aligner™ delivers real‑time azimuth and dip readings with millimetric precision as the rig is positioned. The instrument is ruggedly designed for underground operations and remote locations without connectivity. A single setup provides up to 6 hours of continuous ultra‑precise alignment and can be deployed in as little as 10 minutes.
Seamless QA/QC Data Management
Every measurement syncs automatically to SPT SmartCloud™ via Bluetooth®, Wi‑Fi, or 4G LTE. The platform generates automated PDF, Excel, CSV, LAS, or DXF reports, validates configurations, manages user permissions, and ensures complete QA/QC traceability and data custody. No more re‑drilling.
