The face profiler system is a laser based system designed to measure the profile of a rock face and calculate critical information needed for blasting. The system includes an impluse 200 laser range finder, which performs in -22o to 140o and has a typical accuracy of 3-5cm. Also included is a ranger 133T data collector. The rugged collector uses Microsoft Windows CE operating system and touch screen activation. The face profiler software displays real-time 2-D profile after each shot from the laser and is taken to calculate all the necessary information needed to prepare for a blast. Tabular reports and burden plots can be viewed at anytime and job parameters can be easily manipulated without having to re-shoot the profile. |
