Publication number: 20190226287Abstract: A system for placing and removing pipe from a finger rack of a drilling rig includes a pipe handling apparatus and finger rack having at least one finger board with at least two fingers defining a slot and a multiplicity of latches that are arranged therebetween to define a space for a pipe and selectively movable between an open and closed position. At least one camera has a plurality of the latches in a field of view and is adapted to capture an image of the latches and send the image to a master control computer that analyzes the image for details indicative of at least one latch being in an open or closed position, concludes that the latch is in an open or closed position, and allows or disallows the pipe handling apparatus to place or remove a pipe in the finger rack based on the conclusion.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2019Publication date: July 25, 2019Inventors: Stig Vidar Trydal, Marianne Holmstrøm, Kjell Rohde, Hugo Leonardo Rosano

Patent number: 9428972Abstract: A clamping system for making and breaking threaded connections between a first tubular and a second tubular comprises a clamp assembly. The clamp assembly includes a first cam gear, a first plurality of clamp members disposed within the first cam gear, and a torque gear. Each clamp member is pivotally coupled to the torque gear. Each clamp member is configured to pivot between a withdraw position radially spaced apart from the first tubular and a gripping position engaging the first tubular. In addition, the clamping system comprises a clamp actuator. The clamp actuator includes a mounting shaft, a first clamp drive gear rotatably coupled to the mounting shaft, and a torque drive gear rotatably coupled to the mounting shaft. The first clamp drive gear is configured to rotate the first cam gear and the torque drive gear is configured to rotate the torque gear.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2012Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO NORWAY ASInventors: Hugo Leonardo Rosano, Lopek Drzewiecki
