The electro-optical volumetric measurement system for discharge conveyors measures the volume of material being discharged from a conveyor belt using electro-optical technology and then transmitts these measurements directly to a hand held computer unit.
A special sensor can be supplied for the wood industry that will help optimize bark removal once trees enter saw mills. |
Sensor:
The Sensor operates without any contact to the material
and therefore has no wear. It is insensitive against dust and vibrations. Furthermore the measurement is possible at any conveyor gradient, even if the machine or conveyor moves
during operation.
|
|
| PDA and printer unit:
The sensor contains a flash memory (non volatile), which is currently updated with the accumulated volume, the time and calendar as well as customer data, locality and username etc.
Data communication to and from the sensor will be executed wireless by using a PDA (Bluetooth communication).
A graphical user interface helps the user to handle the
instructions for printing, transferring or storing the data. |
|
Data evaluation:
After importing into Excel one can carry out various calculations - spreadsheets, diagrams and tables can also be produced.
Measurement takes place automatically and the sensor itself has the capacity of up to three years data storage.
|
|
Advantages:
-
The sensor is dust and vibration proof and has no moving parts.
-
PDA and printer are not mounted to the machine. Therefore these devices are not influenced by vibration, temperature and wetness.
-
When the angle of conveyer belt is changed, such as on mobile
equipment, the system does not need to be recalibrated.
-
This is a big advantage in operation with modern mobile mining and quarrying equipment, used extensively today for it's efficiency.
-
Assembly can be completed in two hours by two service technicians.
- EPS - Easy Positioning System: Two red laser pointers are built in for easy positioning during installation.
