Abstract:
Techniques and systems to provide automatic positioning of a tripping apparatus. A system may include a sensor configured to detect a physical characteristic of a tubular string moving past the sensor and generate a signal indicative of the physical characteristic. The system may also include a processing device configured to process the signal indicative of the physical characteristic, determine whether the processed signal is indicative of a deviation of the tubular string, and generate output data utilized to automatically position a tripping apparatus at a location of the deviation on the tubular string.

Claim (Index 19):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a platform configured to be moved with respect to a drill floor; a roughneck configured to be coupled to the platform, wherein the roughneck is configured to be moved with respect to the platform and the drill floor, wherein the roughneck is configured to make up or break out a segment of a tubular string; a sensor configured to detect a physical characteristic of a tubular string moving past the sensor and generate a signal indicative of the physical characteristic; and control system configured to generate output data to automatically position the roughneck at a location of a deviation of the tubular string to facilitate a tripping operation of the tubular string comprising the segment based upon the signal indicative of the physical characteristic.
