CASPER

Casper is a revolution in core shed technology. Don't carry your core to your camera. Roll your camera to your core. Casper is an customisable, ergonomic, light weight (less than 7 kilos) unit that can roll over your core in place on your roller racking. 


Casper is compatible with NQ, PQ, and HQ Core trays.

 To address the challenges of capturing high-quality images of drill core samples, we recently introduced the Casper mobile photography station to our range. This system is designed to produce high-resolution photos with consistent lighting and minimized reflections.  

About Casper

Australian designed and made. Globally distributed

We don't just supply products. We work with our customers to find out what they really need in a work environment. Australian explorers are some of the most demanding in the world. This is what they demanded. They have proved it works. And it is now available globally.


Ask us how our custom in-house CAD and 3D printing can be used to accommodate your unique requirements.

Mobile photography station

Drill core is heavy. The less time spent handling and moving it the better. A mobile photography station means you can do your core photography on-site. Minimise the physical labour and optimise your time.

  

It's easier to move one camera than an entire shed of core. 

Compatible with cloud-enabled core photography

Create quality photos to enable you to make the most of imaging analysis services. There are multiple services out there, providing various levels of filing and analysis capability. Their results are limited by the quality of photograph you submit. Casper provides high-resolution photos with consistent light and minimised reflections. The end result is a better result.

CoreSafe Casper Pro details

Turnkey Core Photography System

Casper is a mobile, lightweight, and field-tested core tray photography package for core sheds that includes all hardware and software to get you started. Casper has been collecting hundreds of thousands of high-quality core photographs since it was released in January 2020. The feedback from logging geologists has been very positive because Casper is comfortable to use and captures great photographs. 


Camera-to-Core Principle

Casper follows a 'camera-to-core' principle where, instead of a fixed core photography station, a mobile frame rolls along roller racks over the core trays to consistently acquire high-quality imagery.


Modular System

Casper is a modular system, which means it can be customised to perfectly match the width of flat roller racks (min gauge 575mm, max gauge 700mm). It's even possible to transform Casper into a fixed camera station by replacing its wheels for feet that allow it to be directly attached to a roller rack.


Customisable

Additionally, we can accommodate any other customisations to meet the client's requirements due to in-house CAD (computer-aided design) and 3D printing capabilities.


Cloud Compatible

Casper is compatible with cloud-enabled core photography management services. Alternatively, you can use Casper 'offline' with any live view & capture software. And in case you want to apply deep learning/machine learning to your core photographs then get in touch with the experts at DATAROCK


Core Cropper Software

Casper Pro comes with a custom Windows app called Core Cropper. It allows to automatically crop, rotate & rename multiple core photographs based on a user-adjustable cropping template with a single click. Just select a folder with all the pictures and press CROP. Done.


Flat Packed

Casper comes flat-packed and can be set up in less than 30 min. All you need is a single allen key (which comes in the box). It is easier than building a flat-pack bookcase.
