LASER Profiler

description specs

Overview

CUES LASER Profiler attaches to an existing CUES CCTV camera or transporter and profiles 6" to 72" pipe, before or after rehabilitation.

Key Features

  • The camera records a laser ring on the inner pipe wall as it travels. Software analyzes that ring to produce a digital pipe profile.
  • An internal rechargeable battery supplies power; the profiler has no moving parts or electrical connections to make.

Profiling

  • Model: LASER Profiler
  • Laser projection: Ring of light on the internal pipe surface
  • Camera view: The laser image stays within view as the camera travels through the pipe
  • Profile generation: Laser Profiler software analyzes the light ring to build a digital pipe profile
  • Video input: Live video or prerecorded video on tape, CD or DVD
  • Pipe diameter: 6" through 72"
  • Inspection use: Internal pipe profiles, before or after rehabilitation
  • Power and mechanics: Internal rechargeable battery; no electrical connections required and no moving parts
  • Software location: TV inspection vehicle or remote computer
  • Remote frame capture: Single video frames from videotape, stored files, CD or DVD on a remote computer
  • Attachment: Existing CUES CCTV camera or transporter
  • Image measurement: Single-frame capture and display on the data monitor for measurement and analysis, in industry standard formats such as JPEG, BMP or TIFF
  • Text annotation: Text can be placed at any location in the captured image
  • Pipe-run graph: Cross-sectional amplitude from entry to exit access across the entire pipe run
  • Construction: Carbon fiber and aluminum

Measurement and Software

  • Manual captured-frame measurements: Pipe size, lateral size, water level, holes and offset joints; from live or prerecorded video
  • Laser geometry: Radial projection perpendicular to the CCTV camera's line of sight forms a red line on the inner pipe wall
  • LASER Profiler software visualization: Interactive 3D pipe model generated from the digital profile
  • LASER Profiler software ovality function: Calculates q
  • LASER Profiler software capacity function: Calculates each profile's cross-sectional area and normalizes it against the expected internal pipe area
  • LASER Profiler software Delta calculation: Maximum and minimum pipe radius for each profile
  • LASER Profiler software interface: Connects with CUES software
  • LASER Profiler software automatic ovality/capacity analysis: Up to 30 analyses per second

Base System

  • For 6" to 15" pipe: Camera mounting assembly, single laser head, battery charger, 3-D measuring software, rod extension for 10", 12" and 15", barrel distortion target, calibrator target, AC adapter and hardware case
  • For 8" to 42" pipe: Laser wand, triple laser head, battery charger, 3-D measurement software, barrel distortion target, calibrator target, AC adapter, camera skid assembly for 8" to 30", skid plate assemblies for 36" and 42", skid adapter plate and hardware case
