Enhance Project Capability

With new multi-station project capability, Void Scanner software allows you to capture void scans from multiple locations and instantly combine them for a complete, real-time 3D representation of the site.

Minimise Safety Risks

Flexible deployment options and wireless communication to the PC, enabled by the optional Wi-Fi box which allow operators to retreat to a safe location while still viewing results during the void scan process.

Improve Site Management

Use Void Scanner data to accurately monitor and control ore loss and dilution by comparing each void scan with design data. These scans also create a reliable record of daily productivity, supporting more informed decision-making across the project.

Benefits

Built on Experience. Engineered for Performance.

Carlson’s new Quarryman Pro builds on over 20 years experience of delivering laser-scanning solutions to the quarrying industry worldwide. It’s our most robust system yet and is designed to offer mine and quarry managers the following benefits:

Integrated Wi-Fi and Power for Simplified Setup

The all-new VS+ comes with all the benefits of integrated Wi-Fi connectivity and a built-in rechargeable lithium power supply reducing the need for redundant accessories and cables.

This will ensure faster and simpler setup and deployment methods during mine operations.

Simplify operations

Quick setup and simple operation is essential for those who use Void Scanner+ for daily void volume calculations. Ten minutes is all it takes to unpack the system, connect cables, mount the boom and ready the software.

Speed Up Decision Making

Each Void Scanner+ data point has XYZ co-ordinates to allow accurate geo-referencing with the mine’s co-ordinate system. This means that scans can be stitched together in real time for an instant visual of the site.

Reduce Scanning Times

With a 200 points per second scan rate, a horizontal scan extent of 360° and a vertical scan extent of 270°, the Void Scanner+ enables you to complete a detailed scan of 1˚ increments in under 12 minutes.
