| The
CMS measures the dimensions of voids and cavities in
underground mines. It can be inserted through
boreholes as narrow as 25 cm (10 inches). |
|
|
Applications
- Monitoring backfill
placement
- Quantifying and
minimizing dilution
- Accurate sloughing/caving
measurement of walls and backs
- Monitoring blast
efficiency and extent of rockburst damage
Operation
- Laser rangefinder
is attached to horizontal boom and inserted into
cavity.
- Rangefinder rotates
around the boom to survey the cavity.
- Data are sent via
cable to data logger.

Benefits
- Improved
mine efficiency: Use CMS data to
gain a more complete picture of your mine's actual
structure and the results of blasting
- Improved
mine profitability: Verify actual
stope and orepass dilution
- Improved
safety: CMS head is extended into
hazardous or inaccessible areas while the user stands
clear
|
