Advances in laser level measurement
January 2004
Level Measurement & Control
Infrastructure
Thanks to an advanced technology that overcomes most level-detection challenges, a wide range of industries can now utilise laser level-meters at a more cost-effective rate. LaserM has perfected an inexpensive laser level distance and position transmitter that accurately measures bulk solids and opaque liquids under the harshest of conditions with great accuracy.
LaserM has a strong international distribution arm, its US partner, K-Tek. Thanks to their strong position, internationally LaserM believes it is on the forefront of laser technology worldwide. Its products offer the physical benefits of laser level measurement technology to an expanded range of industries that seek an economical solution to measuring the contents of tanks, silos, hoppers, bins, mineshafts, mixing basins and tubs.
The introduction of LaserM's easily-mounted, power-efficient units, means that manufacturing and process engineers in plastics, mining, pulp and paper, chemical, food processing, foundry operations, cement, agriculture or biotech industries can now harness the advantages of laser level measurement to determine the level/height of materials in large containers and storage areas.
