VS+ STANDARD SYSTEM

The cavity monitoring system of choice for mine operators and civil engineers. VS+ is a laser-based cavity monitoring system engineered by Carlson to produce high-quality 3D laser scans of underground voids and stopes where access is limited, dangerous or prohibited. These surveys provide the spatial information that enables mine operators and civil engineers to maximize safety, productivity, and profitability at low cost. 

A specialist ruggedized instrument, VS+ uses time-of-flight laser measurement to map the shape, position, and spatial location of cavities quickly so that site managers can plan more profitable projects, improve operational efficiency and, importantly, ensure high standards of safety in potentially hazardous locations. VS+ comes with all the benefits of more expensive systems but has been designed for use in extreme environments to work quickly and at a cost-effective price. Flexible deployment methods and Wi-Fi connectivity enable you to reach otherwise inaccessible or hazardous locations safely, so that you can offer more complex project capabilities and stay competitive. Quick setup and simple operation are essential for those who use VS+ for daily void volume calculations. Minutes is all it takes to unpack the system, mount to the boom and ready the software. With a 200 points per second scan rate, a 360° horizontal scan and a vertical scan extent of 270°, you will complete a full 1° scan in under 12 minutes.The laser-based cavity monitoring system that helps you to solve underground surveying challenges quickly and at low cost, the Carlson Void Scanner+ is a specialized, ruggedized instrument. Void Scanner+ uses time-of-flight laser measurement to map the shape, position and spatial location of voids, which helps ensure both the safety of personnel, and the protection of stock and underground sites.

The VS+ Standard System includes a cutting-edge VS+ Probe with integrated Wi-Fi and lithium-ion battery, a lithium-ion battery charger, a survey prism, a USB drive with Carlson Scan Software and Manual, and a durable transit case for portability and protection.

The system comes with the Carlson Scan Software to guide you through the process of deploying and scanning. One-click surfacing and volume calculation from raw scan data enables you to obtain a closed 3D model and volume within seconds of finishing a scan. Point cloud editing and visualization can be conducted on site to support swift operations. Auto-connection to VS+ reduces setup time. Live viewing of incoming point cloud data as a scan is in progress gives operators peace of mind. A 3D scanner icon displays the heading and inclination of the scanner so that operators can see the scanner in the software as it scans. Data can be exported to several industry-standard formats, including LAS and DXF, to allow easy integration with Carlson in-house and third-party processing software packages.
