Over 88 Years of Innovation MINING / HAUL TRUCK VOLUMETIC SCANNER Maximising Profits & Payloads Realtime Volumetric Scanning System for Mine Haul Trucks TVS is a non-contact volumetric measurement scanning system designed to measure loads of bulk loose solids in mining trucks. The TVS software has been developed specifically to allow direct acquisition of data from the intergrated Laser scan head allowing for realtime monitoring of payloads. System Description Trucks are ‘scanned’ by driving slowly below an elevated Scan Head. This is essentially a mounting platform for two scanning laser range-finders, which are referred to as laser scanners. When a truck crosses the Scan Area below the Scan Head it falls within the field of view of these laser scanners which perform thousands of distance measurements per second The TVS volumetric scanner processes the distance data measured by the laser scanners, as a truck passes below and constructs a composite 3D model or ‘surface profile’ in the software. A vehicle is initially scanned empty and recorded into the system database as an empty vehicle profile (zero reference). Load volume is computed on subsequent scans by comparing each new loaded vehicle profile against the recorded empty profile. Empty Mining Haul Truck Scan This involves aligning the empty and loaded vehicle profiles spatially in software and computing a load profile from the difference between them. Infared scanner relays load volume data & 3D composite is constructed with measurements Loaded Mining Haul Truck
