KAM-500型钻机，是苏联早期所设计的钻探机，从它的结构及使用性能来看，已经是比较陈旧了，将渐渐遭受淘汰。但因为这种钻机，构造简单，拆卸容易，搬运方便，钻进时容易安装，易于操作管理和保养，故还有它的使用价值，目前在我国各勘探队里，仍被广泛采用。然而，随着地质勘探事业的飞跃发展，这种简单落后的钻机，虽然不能满足于目前钻探工程之先进技 The KAM-500 drilling rig is a drilling machine designed by the Soviet Union in the early days. From the perspective of its structure and service performance, it is already obsolete and will gradually be eliminated. However, because of its simple structure, easy disassembly, convenient handling, easy installation during drilling, and easy operation, management and maintenance, it also has its use value. It is still widely used in our exploration teams. However, with the rapid development of geological exploration, this simple and backward rig can not satisfy the advanced technology of current drilling engineering.
