  • Patent number: 9970173
    Abstract: A tubing device is operatively connectable to an excavation machine. The tubing device comprises a base frame, at least one guiding tower operatively connected to the base frame, and a tube operating unit, operatively connected to the guiding tower. The tube operating unit is slidable along the guiding tower and is provided with engaging means capable of both selectively holding a tube segment, and of transmitting a rotary motion and an axial sliding movement to such a tube segment so as to allow the progressive driving in the ground and subsequent extraction from the ground.

  • Publication number: 20150259871
    Abstract: The invention describes a tubing device of the type operatively connectable to an excavation machine and configured to perform an excavation in the ground contained, at least partially, inside at least one tube segment. The tubing device comprises a base frame, at least one guiding tower for the tube segment, operatively connected to the base frame, and a tube operating unit, operatively connected to the guiding tower. The tube operating unit is slidable along the guiding tower and is provided with engaging means capable of both selectively holding the tube segment, and of transmitting a rotary motion and an axial sliding movement to such a tube segment so as to allow the progressive driving in the ground and subsequent extraction from the ground. The axial sliding movement is guided by the guiding tower and the width of such axial sliding movement is determined by the stroke of the tube operating unit on such a guiding tower and is proportional to at least once the diameter of the tube segment.

  • Patent number: 8839682
    Abstract: A device for measuring the torque or force exerted by a drilling machine during a rotation, driving or lifting of a tool. The measuring device includes an engaging device with a drilling battery or with a shaft of at least a drilling equipment or rotary of the machine the engaging device is susceptible of symmetrically or axial-symmetrically locking the drilling battery or the shaft preventing the rotation and/or the axial displacement in a position in correspondence to the tool. The engaging device is associated with at least a transducer for the detection of at least a maximum torque or of at least a maximum force exerted by the machine; and the measuring device is fixedly constrained to the drilling battery or to the shaft.
