Carlson Software unveiled its new Cavity Auto-Scanning Laser System (C-ALS) Gyro as part of its laser measurement devices (LMD) product division. The C-ALS Gyro gives greater navigational capability, ensuring that the probe’s position along the borehole can be determined without relying on the mechanical alignment of deployment rods or a magnetic compass. The unit contains a three-axis gyro which monitors the probes heading and accelerometers which determine the inclination, allowing it to be deployed downwards, upwards, or in a horizontal hole. The data recorded provides the production team with information needed to optimise and monitor the operation. The system allows mapping of inaccessible underground cavities, and is deployable in boreholes on cable or rods, via a boom, or on a zip-wire. It can also be used from the surface to provide a detailed visual record of the subsurface environment in a wide range of applications. The LMD product division was previously Renishaw SMD, which Carlson Software acquired in 2017. The LMD division includes the Cabled Boretrak, Rodded Boretrak, Quarryman Pro, Merlin, C-ALS, and Void Scanner.
