Without GPS or magnetometers, it finds true north in minutes, eliminates early deviation, and ensures every meter drilled follows the planned trajectory—even at extreme latitudes.
Deviations cause cumulative errors that cannot be corrected at depth. This leads to rework, duplicate drilling, and wasted resources, increasing cost per meter and reducing return on investment
Misaligned setups multiply non-productive meters, distort structural core data, compromise resource models, and force corrective holes, raising costs, delaying schedules, and undermining NI 43-101 compliance with investors.
Polestar Aligner™ measures azimuth, dip, and roll aligned to geographic north with high precision, even at extreme latitudes.
Portable, rugged, and easy to operate, it deploys wirelessly and aligns the rig within minutes, immune to magnetic interference and independent of GPS, ideal for underground drilling.
Operates on surface or underground without GPS, base stations, or external cables.
Unaffected by ferrous mineralization or heavy equipment, no angular drift.
Locks onto true north and delivers high-precision dip alignment.
Performs reliably from the equator to the poles, surpassing gyroscope limitations.
Displays orientation on-screen and syncs to the cloud for immediate decisions.
Compact and lightweight—deployable by a single operator at the collar.
‘Click in-n-out’ mounting system and intuitive interface—ready to use from day one.
Polestar Aligner™ is a portable, reliable, and easy-to-operate gyroscopic rig alignment tool engineered for complex mining environments and extreme latitudes.
Compact and rugged makes it ideal for underground operations and remote locations without connectivity.
This inertial navigation system works without GPS, delivering real-time azimuth and dip readings with millimetric precision as the rig is positioned.
Operators can easily see when the rig reaches planned alignment, and the intuitive interface makes it easy to use from day one. No extensive training required.
All data syncs to SmartCloud™, generating automated reports, validating configurations, managing user permissions, and ensuring complete QA/QC traceability and data custody.
SPT SmartCloud™ is the cloud platform that connects field operations to decision-making in real time—ensuring full data traceability.
Every measurement taken with Polestar Aligner™ is automatically synced, organized by drillhole, and exported in industry-standard reporting formats.
