Bulk Scan¶

Compatible with: LRS4000 picoScan100

LiDAR can measure the profile of woodchips or other bulk raw materials on conveyor belts. Mounted above the belt, the sensor continuously scans the material surface. The application determines material height relative to the empty belt.

Example Solution¶

The following video demonstrates perpendicular-distance measurement as a starting point for measuring material height. See Perpendicular Distance Measurement for configuration details.
