The VM3D is a laser volume product used for inventory management. This 3D volumetric scanner system measures the volume of material stockpiles stored out in the open or in large structures like silos, bunkers, domes and sheds for the following applications:

• Mining-for ore stockpiles, particularly for expensive metals like gold, silver and platinum
• Fertilizers - for granular type fertilizers; potash, urea ...
• Food and agriculture-sugar, grains
• Coal bunkers at power plants
• Other bulk chemicals

The MT series of guided wave radars are the only level transmitters in the world to be IEC 61508 certified for operation in SIL2 and SIL3 environments. The guided wave radar's self-monitoring capability continually checks for any faults that could cause device failures or false indications. The device features a graphic display incorporated into an all digital electronics module. Using this new format ABB has been able to add waveform screens to the modular electronics along with easy to follow multiple choice setup menus. These menus can be changed to many different languages for easy commissioning throughout the world. Pulses of microwave energy are directed to the product surface using a rigid rod or flexible cable type probe. This assembly has no moving parts and no loss of energy due to beam divergence.

Features:

• Microwaves are unaffected by temperature, pressure, specific gravity and vapors
• Easy to install
• No moving parts
• Ignores light continuous coatings
• Good for vacuum service
• No beam angle to be concerned about like through-air radar or ultrasonic transmitters
• More direct energy return, more consistent signal
• No complicated setup, no computer or programmer required
• Built-in waveform screen (Scope Trace)

The LM200 Laser is a laser-based distance measuring instrument used in process control systems. The on-board microprocessor calculates distance by multiplying the speed of light by the time it takes for a laser pulse to travel from the instrument to a target and back. The measuring laser uses invisible, infrared light. There is a second, visible aiming laser to help with the alignment of the measuring laser. The laser beams have very little divergence so that accurate targeting is easy even in silos or vessels that have internal structures.

Features:

• Easy and intuitive setup
• No calibration required
• Continuous level monitoring for granular solid materials and opaque liquids
• Measures solids and opaque liquids at any angle
