The shear pin we use in the OX and OX Mini assembly is designed to break under a specific amount of pressure (approx. shear strength 17,5 kN). Preventing the risk of having to cut the wireline and leave the tool down the hole if the tube is stuck. Only the latch unit of the OX will remain in the hole when this pin breaks. The survey can still be completed also.

Frequently asked questions
Can you run a survey without retrieving the core tube?
Yes. Though for this process we recommend using the spear cap (provided in OX kit) or removing the overshot latch unit prior to doing so, to mitigate the risk of accidentally latching to the tube.
What drilling applications is the DeviGyro OX Mini suited for?
The DeviGyro OX Mini is a purpose-built overshot surveying solution for B and N-size diamond core drilling applications.
How long does it take to survey a 100m drill hole with the DeviGyro Overshot Xpress (OX) and OX Mini?
Assuming a moderate average survey speed of approx. 60m/min, a 100m survey takes about 4 minutes. A key point here is that by running the OX when retrieving core, surveying becomes part of the drilling cycle and therefore survey time does not interrupt drilling productivity.
Does the DeviGyro OX Mini support ADE (Automatic Depth Estimation) Mode?
Yes, ADE Mode is available with all DeviGyro survey solutions including the OX Mini. Simply conduct the latest update of the DeviGyro App, and you will have ADE mode as an option to select from.
Why aren’t H and P-size centralizers available for the DeviGyro OX Mini?
The DeviGyro OX Mini is designed specifically for surveying and retrieving core tubes in B and N-size drill rods only. The small design of the OX Mini assembly does not support the weights associated with larger core tubes. The DeviGyro Overshot Xpress (OX) survey solution on the other hand is designed specifically for surveying and retrieving core tubes in N, H and P- size rods. Capable of pulling heavier tubes such as H and P-size.
