PRODUCT INFORMATION
Applications and Solutions for the Mining Industry
LaseBVB - Bulk Volume Bunker
Product module CEWS Bulk Volume
LaseBVC - Bulk Volume Conveyor
Product module CEWS Bulk Volume
The application has a high versatility and can be used for volume and
profile measurements in several types of bunker storages. This specific
software product derives from the product line CEWS Bulk Volume Module.
Because of its robust design this system allows a reliable operation even
at raw environmental conditions. This specific software product derives
from the product line CEWS Bulk Volume Module.
The application LaseBVB - Bulk Volume Bunker is a highly precise
three-dimensional measurement system especially developed for
measurements in bunker storages.
In order to apply this measurement system a 2D or 3D laser scanner
from the LASE 2000D/LASE 3000D Series is mounted above the
bunker or box (2D in combination with crane drive and 3D for
immovable installations) in order to scan the material in storage
areas. Out of the obtained measurement data the LaseBVB - Bulk
Volume Bunker software calculates the volume and the profile
precisely.
The system can be operated intuitively due to an user-oriented
dialogue control and configuration wizards for simple commissioning.
The software analyses the raw data and divides the measured volume
into a grid pattern. Then the current filling level of each single field
is transferred to the process control system. By this information the
process control system recognises the removal/supply of material
automatically. Important state messages are logged and clearly
displayed for additional documentation purposes. For an integration
in production plants all common interfaces are available, too.
APPLICATIONS & FEATURES:
• Highly accurate bunker volume and profile measurement
• Bunker measurement for inventory purposes
• Enables full process optimisation
• Applicable in bulk storages/bunkers like cement clinkers, power
plants or incinerators
• Ensures automated pick and drop of bulk material
• 3D visualisation of measurement data
CUSTOMER BENEFITS:
• Optimisation of material distribution and dispatching

The application LaseBVC - Bulk Volume Conveyor is a highly precise
two-dimensional measurement system especially developed for the
measurement of materials on conveyor belt systems.
For the receipt of exact measurement data a scan area across the
conveying direction of the belt is projected by a 2D laser scanner. A
two-dimensional image of the bulk material will be generated and
compared to a so called „0-profile“ which has been taken during the
initial commissioning.
Out of the obtained data from the LASE CEWS application software
calculates the volume flow of the material on a conveyor belt precisely
- a simultaneous operation of even two conveyor systems is also
possible. By the use of high-resolution laser scanners with a scan
ratio of up to 300 scans per second the material can be recorded
even at high transportation speeds. Special algorithms for the
adjustment and calibration ensure high measurement accuracy. The
system can be operated intuitively due to an user-oriented dialogue
control and configuration wizards for a simple commissioning. For
an integration in production plants these common interfaces are
already integrated: Ethernet TCP/IP, Profibus DP, Analog 0...20 mA
and Serial RS 422.
APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES:
• Contactless 2D volume and mass flow measurement
• Simultaneous operation of up to four systems/conveyors
• Integrated monitoring and data analysis
• Sum counter for volume and mass flow rate
• Measurement of belt position movements
CUSTOMER BENEFITS:

LaseBVH - Bulk Volume Heap
Product module CEWS Bulk Volume
LaseTVM-3D - Truck Volume Measurement
Product module CEWS Bulk Volume
The application has a high versatility and can be used for volume and
profile measurements in several types of heaps and piles. This specific
software product derives from the product line CEWS Bulk Volume Module.
The application has a high versatility and can be used for volume and
profile measurements of all different materials - such as stones, sand, ore
or even wood chips - also in rough environments.
The application LaseBVH - Bulk Volume Measurement is a highly precise
three-dimensional measurement system especially developed for
measurements in heaps or piles.
Depending on the heap-size, one ore more 3D-laser scanners are
installed on a machine (stacker/reclaimer) for the realisation.
This scanner is „looking“ above from the machine and scans the
heap profile. In connection with the current stacker position a
3-dimensional image of the whole heap profile is developed and
compared to a „0-profile“ which is created during the calibration. Out
of the obtained data the LASE CEWS application software calculates
the profile and the volume of the heap precisely.
The system can be operated intuitively due to an user-oriented
dialogue control and configuration wizards for a simple
commissioning. The software analyses the raw data and divides
the measured heap volume into a grid pattern. Then the current
filling level of each single field is transferred to the process
control system. By this information the process control system
automatically recognises the removal/supply of material. Important
state messages are logged and displayed clearly for additional
documentation purposes. For an integration in production plants all
common interfaces are available, too.
APPLICATIONS & FEATURES:
• Exact 3D stockpile profile and volume measurement system
• Enables fully automated stacker/reclaimer operation
• Identification of stockpile setup within inventory

The application LaseTVM - Truck Volume Measurement is a highly
precise 2D-/3D laser measurement system especially developed for
the measurement of truck loading volumes.
In order to measure transported goods on trucks exactly, 2D-/3D laser
scanners from the LASE 3000D-C2-11x Series (resp. LASE 2000D-11x)
will be used in combination with the LaseTVM-Software application. Next
to the LaseTVM-3D-S (STATIC) for stationary processes the LaseTVM-
3D-M (MOTION) version even ensures that a truck can be scanned as it
drives through without stopping.
The laser scanners are mounted on a frame in a central position above
the truck lane. Within the 2D version one laser scanner measures the
cross profile of the load and the other laser scanner tracks the truck.
The 3D version only creates one scan plane which is used for static
measurement processes. When a truck drives thorugh the measuring
area a 3D image of the load is generated. The difference between the
current material load and the empty truck gives the exact loading
volume. The application is also available in combination with a RFID
Scanner (for tagged trucks), a HD camera for documentation and a OCR
camera for license plate capturing.
APPLICATIONS & FEATURES:
• Automatic payload measurement
• No queuing by fast measurement process
• Easy and fast installation
• Traditional weight measurements can be manipulated by humidity
(up to 20% of the volume)
• Exclusion of weight and volume manipulations
• Highly exact laser measuring system (*accuracy typically ca. 2%)
• Instant volume acquisition without conversion factors
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS:

Besides the track two laser scanners each measure the position
of the wagons. One further laser scanner is placed above the
track in order to measure the filling degree before the loading
process (emptiness control). For the possibility of wagon position
determination, two further laser scanners measure from behind of
the loading station - even when the train is already inside the loading
station. Optionally an additional laser scanner can measure and
verify the loading degree of each wagon. The rugged design of this
system also allows reliable measurements and strong performances
even in harsh environments.
Altogether these three tasks can be operated by the application:
In order to measure transported goods on wagons exactly, 3D
laser scanners from the LASE 3000D-C2-11x Series will be used in
combination with the LaseRCD-Software application.
Two 3D-laser scanners (one per wagon) are mounted above the
wagons and the rail car dumper. The application collects the scanner
data and performs all needed calculations. Before tipping the wagons,
the scanners are measuring the surface of the bulk material inside
the wagons by swiveling a scan plane from one side of the wagon to
the other.
After the unloading procedure the scanners are swiveling back and
measure the inner surface of each wagon for an emptiness control.

Overview
LASE 3000D Compact and Standard Series
The high performance laser scanners by LASE are particularly designed for industrial applications with the background to
create robust, modular and economic laser measurement systems. Our sensors out of the LASE 1000T Series are typically
used for contactless distance, thickness or width measurements and especially built for the operation in harsh industrial
environments. They are optical measuring instruments which work according to the triangulation principle. This technique
ensures highest accuracies within µm of range.
The laser scanners from the LASE 2000D Series are contactless two-dimensional distance measuring systems built for
industrial environments and outdoor purposes. 2D profiles of the surrounding are scanned by a pulsed IR laser beam which
is transmitted via a rotating mirror head. The 2D contour data of the scanned surroundings, which are figured in constant
raw data, combine distance and angle values as delivered output by the scanner interface. The sensors transmit extremely
short multiple light pulses, measure the running time to the object and back and then computes the distance.
Finally the LASE 3000D Series consists of a mechanical swivel platform with an assembled 2-dimensional laser scanner for
measuring tasks. The platform has a swivel table, which can be turned by a servo motor for the operation in swivel mode.
A high resolution encoder is integrated within the servo motor and measures the exact turning angle of the swivel table
simultaneously. By the assignment of 2D laser scan data with the encoder values (turning angle), the contactless reception
of 3-dimensional measuring data can be handled.
