Azimuth Aligner is available now from IDS on a rental basis, which the company describes as "a very positive development for the mining industry" as customers now have an even greater selection of tools and brands from a single source.

Jason Smith, general manager at IDS, said, "We are pleased to partner with Minnovare, one of the foremost drilling instrumentation innovators in the world, to offer our customers broader options when selecting azimuth alignment systems. With this new alliance, IDS will continue to be able to supply its customers and the mining/drilling industries with some of the most innovative and advanced technology available for azimuth alignment systems."
