SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED LEGACY DRILL CUTTING SAMPLES DIGITIZATION

A modular system provides automated legacy drill cutting samples digitization. The system includes a central processing unit, at least one robotic arm, a conveyor, and a retractable stand. The robotic arm, which is controlled by the central processing unit, opens drill cutting samples already bagged and stored in a laboratory. The conveyor transports the drill cutting samples between a plurality of stations that include an extractor, a digitizer, and a packager. The extractor extracts the drill cutting samples; the digitizer performs a plurality of measurements on the extracted samples using one or more measuring sensors attached to the retractable stand; and the packager labels and packs the extracted samples into a collection box.
