Buffer Manipulator—(Drilling)
The buffer manipulator is a specialized device developed and designed specifically for this situation:
During drilling, when tubulars are lifted by the traveling block hook or pneumatic (hydraulic) winch, the lower end of the tubular immediately leaves the rig's power catwalk and impacts the wellhead. Currently, this buffering operation relies primarily on manual labor, which is labor-intensive and dangerous.
This device can be remotely operated via wireless remote control or integrated control in the driller's room, replacing manual labor in this task.
