VM-VSNG Vigor solid-state self-north-seeking Gyro For Mining
Product-line note: The VM-VSNG below is a mining-grade gyro inclinometer for mine shafts and underground mineral operations. It is a separate product family from the ProGuide™ oil & gas logging tools described above on this page. The ProGuide™ line targets oil & gas wells (deep wells, high pressure/temperature); the VM-VSNG line targets mining and geological boreholes. They share the gyro-inclinometer category but serve different downhole environments and customers.
Vigor offers the VM-VSNG series mining gyro inclinometer - a solid-state inclinometer launched in 2020 as the next-generation replacement for dynamically-tuned flexible and fiber-optic gyros. It integrates gyro technology, MEMS machining and embedded intelligence to deliver high accuracy, strong stability and rugged field reliability in mine shafts. Both variants share the same housing and operating principle; they differ in data mode, power source and downhole ratings - and therefore in acquisition cost and typical use case.
The VM-VSNG gyro is purpose-built for magnetic-interference environments such as mine shafts (near steel casing, rails or magnetic strata) where magnetic survey tools lose accuracy, making it ideal for underground mining borehole orientation work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the VM-VSNG memory and real-time gyro inclinometers?
A: Both share the same housing and principle. The memory variant is battery-powered, records up to 1,800 points downhole and is the lower-cost option; the real-time variant is AC-powered with real-time surface data, higher ratings (70°C / 20 MPa) and a higher acquisition cost.
Q: What parameters does the VM-VSNG mining gyro measure?
A: Inclination, azimuth, tool-face angle, total gravity, earth rate and temperature - suitable for mine-shaft borehole orientation and trajectory surveys.
Q: Why use a gyro inclinometer in mine shafts instead of a magnetic tool?
A: Gyro tools are unaffected by magnetic interference, so they stay accurate inside mine shafts (e.g. near steel casing, rails or magnetic strata) where magnetic survey instruments lose reliability.
