E-SAXIMETER PILE DYNAMICS (PDI) THE ESSENTIAL DEVICE FOR ACCURATE BLOW COUNTING

E-Saximeter PDI The Essential Device for Accurate Blow CountingThe E-Saximeter registers all relevant pile driving parameters. It calculates the hammer operating rate in blows per minute and helps the piling inspector create a pile driving log. For single acting, open end diesel hammers the E-Sax also displays the hammer potential energy and ram stroke, important since excessive stroke can cause pile damage.The E-Sax is a hand held instrument. In its basic configuration the pile inspector observes the driving process and pushes a button for every depth increment as driving progresses. Several accessories further enhance the functionality of this time tested sound recognition device:A depth measurement reel with wireless transmission capabilities eliminates the need for manual depth increment input, automating the entire creation of the driving log. Proximity switches installed on the driving hammer and a wireless transmission system (transmitter attached to the driving hammer and E-Sax
