Geophysical measurement systems Seismic measurement systems for your individual application

Systems

To give you an idea of our wide range of products, we would like to give you an overview of our products and their possible applications. We produce all of our devices ourselves and are happy to meet your individual requirements.

We will be happy to advise you and find the geophysical measurement system that is best suited to your job.

Electrodynamic-Vibrator System ElViS VII

Like its previous model ElViS III, ElViS VII convinces with its mobile and easy handling. While the proven application remains the same, the output power is increased to about 1100 N. This is made possible by the newly developed, cascading linear motor. The new system increases the penetration depths for the SH source to up to 150 m and for the P source to up to 500 m.

Weight ca. 32 kg (Source)
Shake unit Linearmotor
Frequency range 20 – 240 Hz
Peak force ca. 1100 N
Power supply 12 V DC
Penetration depth about 150 m (zero-offset VSP: about 200 m for S wave). For P > 500 m.

Seismic vibrator source Elvis III

The electrodynamic vibrator system ElViS III is ideal for near surface measurements. Due to the relatively low weight and the mounting under a dismountable wheelbarrow unit, this seismic vibrator source can be used very flexibly. You can operate ElViS III as an S-wave unit (ElViS III S 8) as well as a P-wave unit (ElViS III P8).

ATTENTION! ElViS III is out of production!

LANDSTREAMER & SNOWSTREAMER

Landstreamer and Snowstreamer are the ideal addition for seismic applications: The Landstreamer excels especially on solid surfaces due to its flexibility and simple setup. For applications on ice, snow or icy ground, we have developed the Snowstreamer.

The design and handling of the Landstreamer and Snowstreamer enable particularly fast measurement progress. The systems consist of individual segments in the form of tension-free belts of 24 m length, which can be coupled continuously and as often as required. This makes a large number of traces possible and allows for a wide range of applications. Base unit carriers with exchangeable geophone plates are mounted at freely selectable intervals. They can be used with all geophones and seismometers on the market. Cable pockets with full-length zips that can be opened completely accommodate the cables and connections of the geophones. The segment lengths allow for small packing units that can be transported in Zarges K 412 roll boxes, for example.

Seismic Impulse Source Sissy

The seismic impulse source SISSY is an ideal signal source for refraction and reflection seismic measurements in difficult-to-access terrain. The electrical ignition device of the technical cylinder ensures special safety. Your advantage: The technical cylinder can only be electrically ignited with an ignition device, which means that essential safety aspects are taken into account during handling.

The technical cylinder is classified by BAM according to 1.4 S UN 0323. The ignition time is also the start (trigger) of the measuring process. Due to the short ignition time of only about 0.3 ms, SISSY can also be used very well in seismic stack settings. Due to its low weight of approx. 10 kilograms, the SISSY pulse source is particularly suitable for applications in densely built up areas or in terrain that is difficult to access.

ADAPTERBOX ADB-8

Adapter box with 61-pin plug socket e.g. for GEODE (Geometrics) and 61-pin flange socket PIN. With the help of the adapter box, the input of the pilot channel (for vibroseis) is made possible directly at the recorder unit. Furthermore, it is possible to assign individual inputs, e.g. for VSP measurements, control of individual geophones, accelerometers, etc.

Additional banana plugs can be used for channels 2 - 6 (e.g. for VSP measurements, geophone controls, external transducers)

INTERFACECABLE

In order to accommodate interface cables, e.g. when using the recorder systems Geode (Geometrics), Schill drums IT 380 SO or IT 300 SO are modified.

The cores are widened by approx. 2 cm to accommodate 125 m of cable. In addition, there is a parallel flange socket on the side of the drum for extension up to 250 m. For direct connection, a 2 m cable length can be taken from the interior.
