Thus, one unit can handle both long distance positioning and level measurement applications at one-third the price of competitive models.The LaserTrak 80 includes last pulse detection, which selects true signals from among the many that are reflected from dust clouds, agitator blades, or other obstacles. The unit can also measure the position of moving targets over long distances, such as overhead cranes and tripper cars. The device is able to easily distinguish between dark color surfaces such as coal, and light color surfaces such as plastic pellets and grains. No false echoes and no reflections mean complete immunity to 'cone up,' 'cone down,' and angle of repose variations in the material being measured." Color Compensation & Last Pulse DetectionThe advanced signal processing software in the LaserTrak 80 automatically compensates for color differences in the materials being measured. No beam angle divergence means the transmitter can be narrowly focused over long distances without interference from its surroundings, such as internal structures. Virtually any surface can be measured at any angle with pinpoint accuracy. "The laser provides unheard of flexibility and accuracy when compared with traditional level devices. The system can select the true signal even in the presence of dust, as is commonly found in silos of coal, plastics, or grain, as well as in underground mines or quarries."The LaserTrak 80 combines a number of advanced technologies into a single, unique, low-cost measurement device, going far beyond where other measurement technologies leave off" said Ivo Radanov, Product Manager for Lasers and Ultrasonics at ASI Instruments. An advanced timing system and self-correcting signal processing functions allow the device to accurately and reliably make measurements in the harshest conditions. This provides high accuracy readings even when dealing with the most challenging circumstances, such as measuring into silo cones, inside silo chutes, and through narrow openings in protective grids.The LaserTrak 80 features an all-digital design that provides speed and accuracy in a compact unit. The small wavelength of the laser means a narrower beam with virtually no beam divergence and, therefore, no false echoes. Whether handling plastics, grain, or aggregates, the LaserTrak 80 can measure any surface at any angle. The device also accurately measures level at distances up to 100 feet (30 meters). Designed for a variety of bulk solids applications, the LaserTrak 80 measures position over very long ranges, at distances up to 500 feet (150 meters). Houston, TX (March 28, 2005)- ASI Instruments, a leading manufacturer of state-of-the-art level instrumentation for detection and measurement of dry bulk solids, today announced the LaserTrakĀ 80 laser transmitter for non-contact level measurement and positioning.
