Wildcat Technologies, a key player in the oil and gas industry, relies on precision positioning tables from IKO Nippon Thompson for their flagship pyrolysis instrument, the HAWK (Hydrocarbon Analysis With Kinetics). This instrument is vital for the analysis of pyrolysis parameters such as TOC, free oil, kerogen yield, organic carbon dioxide yield, and maturity, among others. With a maximum oven temperature of 850°C, the HAWK ensures complete pyrolysis of various rock samples, providing valuable insights for geosteering and exploration activities.IKO Nippon Thompson's TU positioning table plays a crucial role in the HAWK instrument, offering precise and reliable positioning for sample analysis. Constructed from high carbon steel, the TU positioning table provides the necessary durability and precision required for the demanding environment of pyrolysis measurements. The slim and compact design, along with the U-shaped track rail, enhances torsion and rigidity under moment load, ensuring accurate sample positioning during analysis. David Weldon, the President of Wildcat Technologies, has praised the reliability and performance of IKO's positioning tables in the HAWK instrument. The optional C-Lube insert ensures maintenance-free operation for an extended period, making it an essential component for long-term use. In a case study, IKO Nippon Thompson demonstrated flexibility and responsiveness by providing additional positioning tables from their local warehouse to meet Wildcat Technologies' growing demands, allowing seamless continuation of operations without delays.Wildcat Technologies found that IKO's 10 mm lead positioning tables outperformed their original choice, leading them to exclusively use IKO's tables in their instrument design. The successful collaboration between Wildcat Technologies and IKO Nippon Thompson highlights the crucial role played by IKO's positioning solutions in the performance and reliability of the HAWK instrument. The partnership has enabled Wildcat Technologies to enhance their instrument design and meet the evolving demands of the oil and gas industry effectively.For more information on IKO Nippon Thompson's positioning solutions, interested parties can visit their website at www.iko.co.uk or contact them directly at T: 01908 566 144 or E: [email protected].
