MWC-2 Wire Counter Unit
The MWC-2 wire counter is a simple, portable wire counter unit for measuring the length of cable deployed down a drill hole. It attaches to the drill collar by three equally spaced clamping bolts and fits on drill collars that are 89mm/3.5in diameter or smaller (e.g. NQ or smaller boreholes).
The wheel unit can be easily swiveled out of the way for clear access to tools in the borehole. It includes a built-in carrying handle and can optionally be outfitted with a cable-retainment pinch roller.
