DEI+NAV
With the introduction of Thunderbird’s DEI+Nav HPGPS Guidance
system, a new standard for blasthole drill instrumentation has been
established. The DEI+Nav has been designed from the ground up by a team
that pioneered the development of the first drill monitoring and GPS
navigation systems. This experience has allowed the team to design a lower
priced system with many unique features not available in competitive
systems that will provide its mining customers with a higher rate of return on
their investment. Thunderbird has been supplying instrumentation to the
surface mining industry for over 20 years. A full range of monitors and
software solutions are available from Thunderbird to insure that each
customer is provided the right product to meet your needs.
The DEI+Nav will reduce your drilling and blasting costs
