The LiDAR volume detection system is a high-precision detection LiDAR with a 120°*120° wide field of view that generates high-density point clouds. It has built-in algorithms that directly output volume measurements, making it suitable for 3D reconstruction and volume detection systems for targets such as material levels, coal piles, and grain silos. The system integrates different ranges of Benewake TF series LiDARs, with a maximum range of up to 180 meters to meet the distance measurement needs of different customers.
Material level volume detection / Coal pile volume detection / Grain silo volume detection / 3D reconstruction ......
The LiDAR volume measurement system is installed at the top or side of a storage tank to monitor the grain surface distance in real-time. The built-in main control board calculates the remaining material volume in real-time, facilitating timely feed replenishment.
1. Self-Cleaning (Dust Removal) Function
The system includes a wiper configuration to prevent excessive dust from affecting the sensor's distance measurement accuracy.
2. Multi-Line Scanning Function (Adjustable Angle | Speed | Time)
The system includes a servo that sweeps at fixed intervals, performing one back-and-forth sweep between 0° and 120°.
The current highest resolution of the system is one point per degree (14400 points for a 120° scan). The current scan step for the secondary joint is 1° with a 50ms delay (adjustable threshold 20-100ms), and the primary joint step is 1° with a 500ms delay (adjustable threshold about 80ms-1000ms). Scanning 120°120° takes about 60 seconds, and scanning 60°60° takes about 30 seconds. The smaller the angle, the faster the scan time.
3. Wireless Transmission Function
The system is equipped with a wireless transmission module, allowing the wireless monitoring center to receive real-time information on the remaining material volume at the monitored point. The data transmission is stable, and wireless transmission can use LORA to transmit signals to the DTU for transparent transmission.
4. Parameter Configuration
Users can configure the scanning angle, cone angle, self-cleaning time, device self-check, and basic parameters of the silo for secondary development.
5. External Trigger Measurement
Upon receiving an external trigger signal, the system completes a scan and outputs the volume value.
6. Step Grid Scanning Method
By performing arc scans with two rotating servos, the system can generate a grid-like planar map, forming a fitable 3D point cloud.
1. Eye Safety Certification: CCIC testing exemption level (EN62471)
2. Laser Safety Level: Class 1
3. Vibration and Shock Report: Available
