AI Technical Summary
Existing clamping head arrangements for drill strings require manual replacement of adapter elements when changing drill string diameters, which is time-consuming and inefficient.
A clamping head arrangement with detachable adapter elements locked by an actuable locking device, featuring a locking element that can be adjusted between locking and release positions, allowing for quick and efficient exchange of adapter elements.
Enables quick and efficient adaptation to modified drill string elements by eliminating complex manual operations, ensuring fail-safe and efficient clamping through pre-tensioned locking elements and automated actuation.
