Underground Cavity Scanner Features New Design
Teledyne Optech’s CMS V500 features a
complete redesign of its Cavity Monitoring
System that introduces a live video feed,
cable-free operation, and other critical new
features that improve safety and efficiency
in underground mining. A new camera now
integrated in the sensor head lets operators
measure and visually inspect ore passes
and shafts simultaneously to improve
maintenance as well as safety. The CMS
V500 sensor head also contains an internal
battery for improved ruggedness and true
cable-free operation with a new wireless
controller. Even with these additions, the
company says the CMS sensor head is
more compact and flexible than before,
with a reduced insertion profile and
improved scan parameters. The new operator
interface software includes an automatic
resection routine for geo-referencing in
the field, and real-time video/lidar data
streaming to help the operator verify successful
data collection.
