SmartRacker Pipe Handling System

Cameron’s SmartRackerTM triple and quad column rackers

are advanced pipe handling systems for jackup rigs,

semisubmersible rigs and drillships.

SmartRacker triple and quad column rackers perform

all vertical pipe handling operations on the drillfloor,

including racking stands, building stands in the mousehole,

picking up singles from the catwalk, laying out singles to

the catwalk and tripping in-and-out of the fingerboard.

These systems are fully-automated with a robotic control

system that controls and monitors all operations and

protects the machine and rig from operator failure. The

machine can be operated in auto-mode, semiautomatic

mode, manual mode, override mode and emergency mode.

With its unique gripper head design, the SmartRacker

can handle all types of pipe, including production tubing,

drillpipe, casing and spiral drill collar.

Using AC or hydraulic technology for all main functions,

the SmartRacker is very accurate and reliable and easy and

quick to operate. This efficient handling system is designed

for the most demanding applications in an offshore

environment. It is designed according to DNV and NORSOK

regulations and is CE marked.

Main Features

• Versatile for handling of triple or quad stands,

horizontal-to-vertical, as well as assistance in handling

smaller bits, subs and objects

• Fully-automated functions with focus on extremely

simple use

• All main functions driven by AC or hydraulic motors for

improved performance and accuracy

• One gripper head handles all drillpipe, casing and drill

collar from 3-1/2” to 14” (2-7/8” optional); no need to

stop and wait to change heads

• Accurate soft stabbing function saves threads on

drillpipes

• Works in concert with the SmartCat™ for horizontal-

to-vertical operations; no need for overhead v-door

machines

• Pickup elevator with fail-safe mechanical lock range

from 2-7/8” to 14” pipe size

• Upper and lower guide arm adjustable vertically for

different stand lengths

• Robust design with well-protected sensors

• User-friendly HMI with onscreen operator guidance

Safety Features

• Fail-safe design philosophy

• Fully-automated; all operations controlled from the

drilling control room

• Monitoring and interlocks to avoid damage to machine

or surroundings; smooth end stops

• Gripper arm lifted using dual lifting wire, dual winch

motors and gears, as well as dual fail-safe winch brakes

• Dual design (upper trolley motor, gear and brake/lower

trolley motor, gear and brake/column rotate motor, gear

and brake)

• Low-maintenance design throughout using high-quality

components and low-maintenance bearings

• Maintenance access at defined points

• Full integration with Zone Management System

• Fail-safe gripper head with accumulator to maintain

pressure in case of hydraulic power loss
