 Section 2: General Overview

CARRIAGE

The Carriage consists of a horizontal slide

and a vertical lift system used to move the
unit from the fully retracted Parked
position or from the Trip position to Hole
Center. The Carriage can lift and lower
the wrench so that the tong center can be
aligned on the tool joint or move the
spinner onto a smooth section of pipe
away from the hard banding or the spiral
cuts on the collar.

Arm
The arm consists of an extension and a
vertical lift system used to move the unit
from the fully retracted Parked position or
from the Trip position to Hole Center. The
arm can lift and lower the unit 36 inches,
extend it 75 inches and rotate 359
degrees, so that the tong center can be
aligned on the tool joint or move the
spinner onto a smooth section of pipe
away from the hard banding or the spiral
cuts on the collar.

Revision August 2007 2-3

Canrig Torq-Matic Floor Wrench
The arm position is controlled by the PLC where joysticks are used to either; turn, extend,
or retract the unit. There are three programmed positions: the fully retracted or Parked
position, the Trip position, and Hole Center. These positions are used to auto-stop the unit
when it is extending or retracting and are entered into the PLC Setup Screen during the
initial setup of the wrench. The Trip position is then used as an intermediate position to
stop the unit from fully retracting during tripping operations to improve the tripping speed.

There is a proximity sensor mounted underneath the Driller’s Side (DS) guide that senses
when the unit is high enough to be fully retracted.

Horizontal Slide (HS)

The HS function is actuated by two hydraulic cylinders. These push the unit forward or
backward on specially flanged rollers in a track that has been mounted to the drilling floor.
A sensor - mounted underneath the frame on the Off Driller’s Side (ODS) - is used to
measure the position of the Carriage at all times.

The Carriage position is controlled by the PLC where joysticks are used to either extend or
retract the unit. There are three programmed positions: the fully retracted or Parked
position, the Trip position, and Hole Center. These positions are used to auto-stop the unit
when it is extending or retracting and are entered into the PLC Setup Screen during the
initial setup of the wrench. The Trip position is then used as an intermediate position to
stop the unit from fully retracting during tripping operations to improve the tripping speed.

2-4 Revision August 2007

 Section 2: General Overview

Vertical Lift (VL)

The VL function is actuated by two hydraulic cylinders mounted on either side of the
carriage or arm assembly. The unit rides on guides which run up and down. The proximity
sensor mounted underneath the Driller’s Side (DS) guide senses when the unit is low
enough to clear the derrick structure or higher and be retracted.

Rotate (RO)
The rotate function is only equipped on an arm type wrench. This allows the operator to
align the wrench with hole center or to mouse hole. Also the wrench can be turn to
increase the floor space when not in use.

TONG ASSEMBLY
The Main Wrench assembly consists of the Upper and Lower Tong assemblies, each
having a set of hydraulically clamping jaws. The Upper Tong rotates relative to the Lower
Tong and is actuated by a hydraulic torque cylinder. Each set of jaws are actuated by two
large hydraulic cylinders. The pivot ring is located between the Upper and Lower Tongs to
hold them together and is concentric during rotation.

The Torque Cylinder and the Upper and Lower Clamps are all controlled by the PLC.
Pressure sensors connected to the torque cylinder are used to measure the actual Make-
up and Break-out torque on the tubular. The desired torque value is set using the Manual
Input button on the Main Screen, or is programmed into the Pipe Profiler. (See Operator
Interface – Main Screen and Pipe Profiler for details).

Revision August 2007 2-5

Canrig Torq-Matic Floor Wrench
SPINNER
The Spinner assembly rides on a spring loaded track which allows the Spinner to float on
top of the Main Wrench assembly. The Spinner has a frame which carries the two Spinner
Roller Drives, and a clamp cylinder which pulls the Spinner Roller Drives together,
clamping the tubular between the drives, or pushes them apart to release the tubular. The
Spinner Roller Drives are actuated by powerful hydraulic orbit motors.

The Spinner is also controlled by the PLC. The spinner torque and spin times are
programmed into the PLC during setup where individual settings can be programmed into
the Pipe Profiler.

OPERATOR INTERFACE
The Operator can interface with the wrench in 2 ways. One being the Drillers Console
Control that includes a touch-sensitive operator Display Screen. The box can be mounted
in the Dog House above the Driller’s Console or for rigs where the Driller’s Console is on
the rig floor. The box can be mounted out on the drill floor on top of or adjacent to the
Driller’s Console. The second is the Wireless Radio Control, which can be operated
anywhere on the drill floor.

Drillers Console

ESD Button - The panel comes equipped with a red Emergency Shutdown Button.
Pushing the ESD terminates all operations and movement of the wrench instantaneously
and shuts down the electric motor on the HPU.

Start Button - The green Start button is used to start the automatic sequencing of the
Make-Up or Break-Break-Out operations.

2-6 Revision August 2007

 Section 2: General Overview
Stop Button - The Stop button is red and halts automatic operations immediately, but is not
an ESD. The Power Pack continues to run and the wrench may resume operation by using
the Start button.

Reset Button - The yellow Reset button is used to reset errors after the wrench has been
stopped. The Reset button also performs some special functions for controlling the Spinner
Clamp and Upper and Lower Tong Clamps and the Arm rotation. (See Manual Operation for
detail).

Make-Up and Break-Out Mode Switch - The toggle switch for Making-Up pipe or Breaking-
Out pipe must be switched to the appropriate function prior to operating the unit. Always
check the position of the toggle switch before attempting to Make-Up or Break-Out a tool
joint. Make sure the Make/Break button on the Main Operator’s screen is set to Console.

Joystick - The control panel is equipped with a joystick to move the unit between the
Parked position, Trip position and Hole Centre. The joystick also moves the unit up and
down to align the clamp jaws on the tool joint. On wrenches equipped with the Arm, holding
the Reset button while moving the joystick left and right will rotate the wrench.

Main Operator’s Screen

The Main Operator’s Screen continually displays important operational and status
information while the wrench is in operation. In the top left hand corner of the screen below
is the motor status indicator. When red, the motor is off, when green, the motor is running.

The Main Screen gives an accurate readout of the Make-Up and Break-Out torque. The
required torque is input by the operator and remains at that torque unless changed by the
operator. Using the Pipe Profiler, Make-Up torques can be input for various pipe or collar
sizes and saved. Select the torques in the Pipe Profiler Menu, or push the Manually Set
Torque Value button and enter the desired torque value on the key pad.

2-8 Revision August 2007

 Section 2: General Overview

Push the Warm Up button to start the wrench’s warm up sequence. This will run the
spinner motors for the desired time to pull warm oil from the hydraulic tank warming the
main hydraulic valve (used in cold climates). The amount of warm up time can be adjusted
by pushing the time box and entering the desired time.

Use the Make/Break Control button to select whether the wireless radio or the Driller’s
Console has control of the Make-Up and Break-Out functions of the wrench.

NOTE: During normal operation, the wireless radio control will be turned on and
functioning. In the event of an emergency, pushing the Emergency Shut Down (ESD)
button on the radio will stop all automatic functioning of the wrench and shut down the
electric motor on the HPU. Shutting off the wireless radio control has the same effect as
pushing the ESD button.

If the wireless radio is turned off or the battery is dead, the wrench can still be operated by
pressing the wireless radio ESD Bypass.

The Radio ESD Bypass button allows the wrench to operate without the wireless radio
control turned on.

Push the Imperial/Metric button to display the torque, pressures and oil temperature in
Imperial or Metric units.

Push the Help button to show the Main Help Screen.

Push the Menu button to display a list of other Operator Screens to select from.
