WNA Winch: Vehicle-Mounted, High-Capacity Solution

The WNA Winch is specifically designed for mounting within a vehicle, offering a robust and compact solution for geophysical logging in the field. Capable of spooling up to 1800 meters of wireline cable, this winch provides the extended reach needed for deeper borehole applications.

Key features include:

  • Slip Rings: Ensures reliable transmission of signals and power between the rotating drum and stationary components.
  • Depth Encoder: Accurately tracks the depth of the cable, ensuring precise measurements during logging.
  • Level Wind Gear: Automatically guides the wireline onto the drum, ensuring smooth and even spooling.

Together, these components form a complete, self-enclosed package, offering efficient operation and ease of use in challenging field environments.
