The new Excore bit line is a combination of the best of decades of experience from previous diamond bit ranges and the latest in manufaturing and metalurgy techniques
Optimized matrices and crown profiles
With Excore, we have taken proven Atlas Copco designs and developed them further. We engineered new matrices and optimized crown profiles. By calculating the right balance between these variables we have achieved bits with exceptional penetration rates as well as extended service lives in the toughest of drilling conditions.
Improved performance
The bits cutting ability has been improved compared to existing bit ranges, which allows a higher penetration rate or a lowered weight on bit (WOB) when formation demands it.
Also in very hard rock, a better penetration rate can be achieved with less pressure, which in turn gives a lot of advantages. Lower weight on bit results in less hole deviation and more exact extraction of core. Lower WOB also gives less wear and tear on the rig and on the entire In-The-Hole equipment. On the other hand, when rock conditions allow the driller to push for maximum penetration rate, the Excore bits will exceed the drillers expectations.
Less inventory needed
Excore is a faster drilling, longer lasting coring bit that performs in a wider range of drilling conditions and formations. This means fewer bits needed on the job site - both in operation and on the shelf and increased productivity throughout the entire operation - from purchasing to retrieving core.
Excore is a series of diamond drill bits that is in the absolute top range of what is available today - a bit that stands for excellence, durability, speed and strength.
