Abstract

Device for the auditory and/or visual representation of mechanical phenomena in the interaction between a drilling tool and rock being drilled, characterized by the fact that it includes a mechanism for picking up a vibratory signal representing the vibration of the tool at the cutting face using an accelerometric sensor at a specific point on the drilling stem and processing equipment (45, 31, 31) for filtering the signal in the frequency band of 10 to 200 Hz.
