The Versatile HCZ450 Soil Sampling Robot The HCZ450 is a compact, versatile, track-mounted soil sampling rover designed for precision sampling applications. Powered by a hydraulic drive system, the robot employs direct push sampling technology to extract intact soil cores without disturbing the surrounding soil matrix. A key strength of the HCZ450 is its ability to navigate challenging terrain. Its continuously variable track speed and independent track control allow it to maneuver on steep slopes, over obstacles and through restricted access areas. The onboard hydraulic system provides power for both the tracks and sampling tools. The robot's modular design enables it to be quickly configured for different projects. Various drill rods, augers and sampling tools can be mounted to the base unit depending on sampling requirements. An onboard control system allows for remote operation, improving worker safety during operations. Precision is at the heart of the HCZ450's design. The direct push sampling method, combined with the robot's ability to take samples at close vertical intervals, provides highly representative data for projects requiring detailed soil characterization. High Precision Soil Sampling without Disturbance The tracked HCZ450 soil sampling robot delivers precise and undisturbed soil samples with its push sampling technique. The dual-tube coring system enables it to drill fast while retrieving intact samples. It can sample to within 1 meter accuracy, ensuring analysis precision. Terrain Adaptation and Portability With left and right tracks that adjust to different terrain, the robot can maneuver obstacles and even be lifted for maintenance. It carries tools on both front and rear racks, making it transportable and autonomous during sampling operations. High Efficiency Operations The robot's dual-speed drilling rotors and hydraulic winch assist tool changes, significantly reducing manpower. Its maneuverability allows it to quickly move between sampling sites, improving work efficiency. Environmentally Friendly Being chipless, the robot leaves no mess during sampling. It causes minimal ground disturbance and requires no drilling fluid, keeping job sites clean. It also runs quietly and vibrates little. Reliable and SafeThe HCZ450's modular design makes it sturdy and compact. Remote control separates operators from hazards. Its front and rear balancing ensures stability during operation. Applications Mineral Exploration: The robot's ability to obtain soil samples with minimal disturbance at close intervals makes it effective for shallow mineral exploration. Samples can be analyzed to detect variations in geochemical concentrations that may indicate potential ore bodies near the surface. Its maneuverability also aids in accessing rugged terrain where minerals often form. Soil Pollution Research: Intact soil samples are essential for accurately monitoring contaminant levels over time and evaluating remediation efforts. The robot's precise sampling capabilities preserve the natural structure of soils, ensuring reliable data for pollution research. Grain Size Distribution: Undisturbed samples enable precise determination of a soil's grain size distribution, providing insight into its type and formation. The robot's sampling method retaining the natural packing of soil particles aids classification based on sand, silt and clay content. Soil Grading: The robot can be used for conventional soil grading applications due to its capability to obtain representative soil samples at close intervals to establish soil profiles. Concrete Drilling: The robot's spiral drill tools and high torque power system make it suitable for drilling through hardened concrete. Its tracks give it access to areas that larger concrete drilling rigs struggle to reach. The HCZ450 soil sampling robot utilizes an optimized structure and advanced power systems to precisely and efficiently obtain soil samples. Its versatility and portability make it a valuable tool for research, testing and various applications. HCZ450
