 Laser measurement devices and components
The high performance laser scanners out of the LASE 3000D-Series are particularly designed for industrial applications with the
background to create a robust, modular and economic 3D-Laser measurement system. A 3D Laser scanner is a mechanical swivel
platform on which a 2-dimensional laser scanner is assembled for measuring tasks. The platform has a swivel table, which can be
turned by a servo motor (swivel mode). A high resolution encoder which is integrated in the servo motor, measures the exact turning
angle of the swivel table simultaneously. By the assignment of the 2D laser scan data with the encoder values (turning angle), the
contactless entry of 3-dimensional measuring data can be handled.

LASE anti-collision systems are built to ensure a safe and trouble-free crane operations in order to prevent stackers, reclaimers, yard
cranes and ship loaders from entering an area of proximity to each other in which a probable collision could occur.
We combine all of the experience we have gained from more than 20 years of developing and enhancing anti-collision systems in
several industries to offer highly reliable and field-tested safety systems.

OPERATION
..........................................................................................................................................................................................................

The application LaseBCP - Bulk Collision Prevention is a

continuously working system which calculates machine-to-
machine collision distances and controls the travel, slew, and luff
movement for each machine based on the calculated collision
level.
Four laser scanners (two scanners for each anti-collision system)
are mounted on top of the machine and to each side of the machine
an area of 190° is covered in a radius of approx. 40 meters. If one of
the scan planes will be violated by any equipment (e.g. reclaimer),
the software application generates an alarm signal. The application
can be merged with LaseBVH into a sole software application to
ensure full automation and stockpile management, too.
REDUNDANCY
..........................................................................................................................................................................................................

The redundancy of the LaseBCP anti-collision system is a huge

advantage especially when one laser scanner should have
malfunctions or when one system does not operate. In such
cases the anti-collision function is still in operation because each
system uses two laser scanners (one per side) and an own LASE
Control Unit. The LaseBCP software application is installed on
each LCU and operates independently from the other application.

Furthermore each scan plane can be divided into different

alarm areas in order to distinguish the probability of a possible
collision. Here the colour „green“ signals a high chance of
collision and „red“ signals an extremely high chance of collision.

Our advanced anti-collision systems for yard cranes, stackers, reclaimers and ship unloaders assist you to run a safer and more
productive site. It enables machine operations to remain functional even in the closest of operating proximities, minimising yard
conflicts and maximising machine operating time. Next to the detection of collisions between machines at the boom or portal, it is
also possible to receive information about the distance to the stockpile or other equipement in the operating area. Through direct
communication of an Ethernet interface the position, status and alarm level data will be sent to a superior PLC based control system.
