Custom designed for subterranean scanning, the CMS delivers a fast, accurate 3D surveying solution in a configuration that meets the challenges of working underground - a compact unit, wireless operation, sealed optics and specialized accessories. | | | | | | Versatile and Functional CMS accessories enable the sensor to be supported and extended into cavities horizontally up to 7 m, and vertically down to 50 m. Throughout the scan, the sensor is controlled wirelessly from a safe zone outside the cavity. During collection the data can be viewed on the rugged handheld controller that operates the sensor. Afterwards, a comprehensive georeferencing system ensures that CMS data can be easily converted to the local mine coordinate system for use with other types of data. | | | | | | CAVITY MONITORING SYSTEM | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CMS collects thousands of accurately located measurements per minute. These measurements can be used to determine stope volume, stope dilution, and sloughing/backfill volumes, and to create detailed drawings. Universally adopted data formats ensure that CMS data can be used in any software workflow. Optech's CMS developed in partnership with world-leading mining organizations, pioneered professional laser-based autoscanning for mining in the 1980s. With over 100 systems deployed globally, the CMS continues to provide fast, reliable and efficient scanning of underground cavities. Optech is the global market leader in advanced laser-based survey instruments, with clients around the globe. Optech products, based on the company's 30 years of expertise in pulse laser radar (lidar), offer client-driven solutions in topographic mapping, hydrographic applications, laser imaging, space-based atmospheric professional monitors and landing/docking systems, and industrial/mining rangefinders. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cavity Surveys - Accurate, Efficient and Safe With a sensor weighing only 7 kg and a robust, wireless data collection system, the CMS provides routine, unobtrusive surveying of underground cavities - performed safely by a single operator. With scanning ranges of up to 650 m and accessories for remote placement of the sensor, areas can now be surveyed without human entry to the site. | | | | | | | | | | Workflow | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Minimal hanging wall dilution | | | | | | | | | | 1 CMS scans to acquire data | | | | | | | | | | 2 Data is received by the power module | | | | | | Hanging wall failure | | | | | | | | | | | | | | g 3. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HJ Ore outline ■J Drift Level 1 stope/cavity J Level 2 stope/cavity I Level 3 stope/cavity ■ Slot | | | | | | | | | | 4 Data downloads to a PC | | | | | | | | | | Mining method modified to minimize dilution of lower stope | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 5 Data output | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
