Winches

 Mount Sopris geophysical logging are light-weight, proven-rugged, industry-standard units.  Standard mini winches come with 200 meters (654-ft) of 3.17mm diameter (1/8") geophysical wireline, or 300 meters (1000-ft) of 2.54mm diameter (1/10") geophysical wirelines.  MX Series winches are user-customizable with standard sizes at 500, 800, or 1000 meters 3.17mm (1/8") wirelines.  The 4MXB series will hold up to 480 meters (1575-ft) of 4.76mm (3/16") diameter wireline (coax, single-conductor, or four-conductor) geophysical wirelines.

4WNA Series Winch (1)

The Mount Sopris WNA winch is a logging hoist capable of positioning a geophysical probe or other tool in a borehole. The system is equipped with slip rings and connectors, through which surface instrumentation can communicate with the probe. A precision measuring wheel and depth encoder are also included to allow the probe depth to be monitored. The cable is automatically wrapped on the drum in even layers through the level wind mechanism. The motor is controlled by a motor speed controller, which allows the user to vary the logging speed. The WNA Winch and Winch Control are designed for use with the MATRIX or MGX II logging consoles and downhole probes to complete the geophysical logging system.

The 4WNA-1000 + 3WCA Winch and Controller system can be mounted to meet multiple customer-specific truck or skid applications.  Contact Mount Sopris for ideas to enhance your application.  Third party boom assemblies or custom boom assemblies are often used with Mount Sopris components.  In the photo below customer built a bulkeahd area and mounted the 4WNA winch alongside a 3rd party boom assembly addinf ease and flexibility when setting up at a well site.  In this application the 3WCA controller was mounted in the enclosed area with Matrix Console, data acquisition computer & printer and operator work station.

MX Series Winches (1)

 

The MX winch is a logging hoist capable of positioning a geophysical probe or other tools in a borehole. The system is equipped with slipring and connections through which surface instrumentation can communicate with the probe. A precision measuring wheel and rotary encoder are also included to allow the amount of cable played out to be tracked. The cable is automatically wrapped on the drum in even layers through the level wind mechanism. The motor is controlled by an 110V (or 220V depending on the model) four-quadrant motor speed controller that allows the speed to remain constant with a varying loads and prevents overhauling with heavy loads. The winch is designed to be used in conjunction with the MATRIX or MGX II console and a portable PC to achieve a complete logging system.

NOTE: When using a DC inverter to power the winch, a true sine-wave inverter is required for smooth winch operation. Minimum power requirement for such an inverter is 600 watts, which should also allow operation of the logger.

Basic Specifications -- See additional attachements below for more details, photos, etc.

  • Motor: 1/4 hp, SCR type

Mini Winch Series (1)

The "Mini" winch is a logging hoist capable of positioning a geophysical probe or other tools in a borehole. The system is equipped with slipring and connections through which surface instrumentation can communicate with the probe. A precision measuring wheel and rotary encoder are also included to allow the amount of cable played out to be tracked. The cable is wrapped on the drum in even layers through a manually operated, tiller arm. The motor is controlled by an 110V (or 220V depending on the model) four-quadrant motor speed controller that allows the speed to remain constant with a varying load and prevents overdriving with heavy loads. The winch is used in conjunction with the Matrix console, or a MGX II console with the proper mounting rails (this is not standard), and a portable PC to achieve a complete logging system.

NOTE: When using a DC inverter to power the winch, a true sine-wave inverter is required for smooth winch operation. Minimum power requirement for such an inverter is 600 watts, which should also allow operation of the logger.

There are four models in the Mini winch line:

4200-1000-120 is spooled with 200 meters of 3.17mm (0.125") diamenter single conductor wireline, 120vac.

4200-1000-230, 220 VAC model otherwise same as above.

4305-1000-120 is spooled with 305 meters of 2.54mm (0.100") diamenter single conductor wireline, 120VAC.

4305-1000-120, 220 VAC model otherwise same as above.

The two mini winches are set at the factory to operate at either 110VAC or 220VAC and cannot run at the other voltage. If the winch is configured for 220 AC, there will be a red label below the POWER IN connector indicating 220 VAC. The MGX II is either 110 VAC or 110 VAC and is labeled as such. The Matrix is auto switching between 110 and 240 VAC.

At all times prevent kinking the logging cable to prevent damage to the insulated center conductor. The wireline cablehead should be inspected periodically for electrical and mechanical integrity. To prevent loss of tools we recommend re-heading every three months or more often as conditions indicate. For detailed information see:
