The challenge
Extensive inspections with personnel exposure
Conventional scans of the mill interior require time, coordination, and personnel exposure, reducing the effective maintenance window.
The solution
3D scan in minutes
3D scanning system that deploys a scanner into the mill via a telescopic arm installed in the chute. Captures wear information, grates, and fill level without personnel entry.
Benefits
Faster inspection
Dramatically reduces inspection time, allowing scans to be performed in minutes.
No personnel exposure
Eliminates personnel exposure through a telescopic arm compatible with Faro, Trimble, or Leica scanners and LightScan option.
More data for maintenance
Increases data availability for maintenance planning and condition assessment.
