The ROBOVEC unit has been designed for (semi-)permanent installation in any structure or geotechnical situation that requires continuous monitoring of the 3D position of significant points. The ROBOVEC allows to measure distance, horizontal and vertical angles for an unidentified number of points. The main features of ROBOVEC are: flexibility in the choice of the number of monitored points, automatic compensation of temperature and light effects on the measurements, easy configuration and scheduling of the measurement campaigns.
The ROBOVEC has been designed for indoor and outdoor operation. The ROBOVEC housing grants protection from water, rodents, accidental crashes and a key lock grants protection against vandalism. This instrument can be mounted vertically, horizontally or even upside down on the ceiling. Options
• Mounting support for wall mounting
• Special laser distance meter for operation at extended temperature range as low as -40°C Technical Description
The ROBOVEC unit is based on a laser distance meter and a bi-axial modular robotization for horizontal and vertical movement. The instrument is able to measure the variation of the distance and then horizontal and vertical angles between instrument, assumed to be fix, and monitored points. During a measurement campaign, the ROBOVEC unit can perform an auto-centring algorithm on each point in order to preserve the same targeting direction even if the point has moved between two following measurements. The resulting measurements are available in digital form on the serial connection and are automatically stored on the PC for further analysis.
The ROBOVEC system is fully compatible with other SMARTEC products. The results can be stored in a standard SDB database and can be integrated with measurements from other sensors (e.g. static SOFO, ADAM, DiTeSt, 3DeMoN-GPS …). The user can therefore view and analyze all its data with a single interface. |
