2-D and 3-D laser scanners.Level and flow specialists Allison
Allison, which may come from a medieval Norman nickname for Alice, meaning "noble type", or from the Irish name "Iseult", meaning "fair lady". Engineering have recently extended their KTEK KTEK is a Vietnamese language radio station serving the Houston, Texas market (Voice of Vietnam in Houston VOVN - Tiếng Nói Việt Nam tại Houston). This station broadcasts on 1110 kHz under ownership of South Texas Broadcasting. range of laser based instruments following the introduction of a new 2-D volume flow scanner (1) See also antivirus program. (2) An optical device that reads a printed page or transparency and converts it into a graphics image for the computer. The scanner does not recognize or differentiate in any manner the content of the material it is scanning. and a 3-D laser belt scanner. Both these new products offer the important features and benefits of high accuracy, non-contact and continuous measurement. The KTEK LM080 laser belt scanner provides continuous, non-contact M3/hr volumetric volumetric /vol·u·met·ric/ (vol?u-met´rik) pertaining to or accompanied by measurement in volumes. vol·u·met·ric adj. Of or relating to measurement by volume. flow measurement of bulk solids lying on belts and conveyors whilst simultaneously monitoring the belt speed. The result is a 2-D cross-sectional area of bulk material while the belt speed provides a 4-20mA output which is scaled in cubic metres Noun 1. cubic metre - a metric unit of volume or capacity equal to 1000 liters cubic meter, kiloliter, kilolitre metric capacity unit - a capacity unit defined in metric terms per minute. Unlike other volumetric measuring technologies, such as gravimetric gravimetric /grav·i·met·ric/ (grav?i-me´trik) pertaining to measurement by weight; performed by weight, as a gravimetric method of drug assay. grav·i·met·ric adj. 1. weighing, the KTEK laser belt scanner is unaffected by vibrations and so provides more accurate data. It provides accuracy of +/- 2% and is quick and simple to set-up and requires no regular maintenance or re-calibration. The LM080 is a rugged and competitively priced device which is particularly suited to volumetric measuring applications wherever bulk solids and granular materials A granular material is a conglomeration of discrete solid, macroscopic particles characterized by a loss of energy whenever the particles interact (the most common example would be friction when grains collide). are being conveyed and stored. Meanwhile, the KTEK LM050 is a moving 3D laser scanner which provides continuous, non-contact three dimensional measuring, or 'mapping' of entire stockpiles. Each laser uses a large number of measuring points to ensure accurate profile imaging and automatic volume measurement to an accuracy of +/- 0.5%. This device meets the increasing demand in industries where users are moving toward increased automation of production and inventory control. Benefits would include enhanced environmental control and the ability to provide improved fiscal valuation of bulk solid stocks and therefore more accurate estimates of available 'energy stock'.
