Laser based scans
May 1st 2008 Allison Engineering has extended
its KTEK range of laser based
instruments introducing a new 2-D
volume flow scanner and a 3-D
laser belt scanner.
The KTEK LM080 laser belt
scanner provides continuous, noncontact
m3/h volumetric flow
measurement of bulk solids lying
on belts and conveyors,
simultaneously monitoring belt
speed. The result is a 2-D crosssectional
area of bulk material
while the belt speed provides a 4-
20mA output which is scaled in
m3/minute.
The KTEK laser belt scanner is
unaffected by vibrations and
provides accuracy of +/- 2%.
Quick and simple to set-up, it
requires no regular maintenance or
re-calibration. The LM080 is
particularly suited to volumetric
measuring applications wherever
bulk solids and granular materials
are being conveyed and stored.
The KTEK LM050 is a moving 3D
laser scanner which provides
continuous, non-contact three
dimensional measuring, or
'mapping' of entire stockpiles.
Each laser uses a large number of
measuring points to ensure
accurate profile imaging and
automatic volume measurement to
an accuracy of +/- 0.5%. More articles from Allison Engineering Limited: |
