Trupulse Laser

[Rosella Bowlan]

Thesehighly sophisticated and easy-to-operate laser rangefinders use our reflectorless technology with TruTargeting performance built into every unit. Users have a choice of four targeting modes with all data values visible inside the sighting scope HUD.

The most highly valued benefit of laser mapping is having the ability to occupy a single, convenient, and safe location with the freedom to map as many assets as you can see. When you use your high-accuracy GPS/GNSS device, everything you collect will be based off these precise control points.

The TruPulse 200X laser rangefinder makes high precision measurements for professionals working in challenging field conditions. Measure slope distance and inclination and calculate horizontal distance, vertical distance, height and 2D missing line values.

The 200X provides an in-scope LED display that easily adjusts to varying light conditions. Its advanced inclination and distance accuracy makes this laser rangefinder the most progressive product in the TruPulse Series line.

TruPulse laser rangefinders, by Esri Partner Laser Tech, allow field workers to remotely map the location of assets as well as measure slopes, distances, lengths and heights using a handheld device. As you will soon learn, you can now tightly integrate measurement routines performed with your TruPulse rangefinder, with logic in your Survey123 form, streamlining field data collection workflows.

Combining the ArcGIS Survey123 mobile app with TruPulse laser rangefinders has applications in forestry, telecommunications, electric utilities, mining, public works and many other industries. Use Survey123 and TruPulse rangefinders to accelerate data collection, improve data quality and worker safety.

A variation of the height routine, where you can collect multiple height measurements along an object. In the illustration below, the routine measures the height of the transformer and the pole. In this routine, you can calculate as many heights as needed along the object.

This is a one-shot routine where the location of a remote asset is calculated. In this workflow, the laser rangefinder must be able to measure distances and also the azimuth to the remote object. Survey123 provides the source location from which the measurement is made.

For offset mapping workflows one important consideration is accuracy. The laser rangefinder will very accurately measure the bearing (azimuth) and distance to the target object, but to complete the calculation of the remote location the position from which the measurement is made is also needed. The source location could come either from the built-in GPS on your Survey123 mobile device or from a high accuracy external GNSS receiver connected to Survey123.

The Survey123 team has been closely working with Esri Partner Laser Tech to integrate the TruPulse series of laser rangefinders. There are a variety of models in the TruPulse series, each with its own characteristics and OS support.

TruPulse rangefinders can be integrated directly with the Survey123 mobile app. That is, you do not need extra hardware or software. Additionally, we have expanded XLSForm support in Survey123 to help you integrate the measurement routines with the logic of your forms.

Below is a very simple example: Note how the rangefinder appearance is used here to allow the end user to gather a height measurement from a TruPulse device. The bind::esri:parameters column determines what type of measurement routine will be executed in the laser rangefinder. In this case, the rangefinder will return a single value so we use a decimal question type to keep it.

For more complex measurement routines, such as multiple height or offset mapping, the output from the rangefinder will be handled in your XLSForm logic as a JSON object. To learn more about the details of XLSForms for TruPulse integration check out:

The tried-and-tested pulsed solid-state lasers in the TruPulse series enable short, high-energy pulses at high power. The pulse power of several kilowatts for a few milliseconds means that spot welding and seam welding are now also possible in places where other methods fail. Thermally sensitive applications in particular benefit from the advantages of pulsed solid-state lasers. With their modular layout, the lasers can be adapted to your individual manufacturing task. The TruPulse series has been technically optimized over decades, making the system highly reliable.

Due to its integrated beam guidance, the TruPulse can be perfectly adapted to your application. With up to six pluggable laser outlets and a flexibly configurable beam distribution, the laser beam can be split, switched over, disabled, and measured. In this way, it is possible to use the solid-state laser at one or more processing stations, with a time or energy split. This enables multiple welding processes to be performed at the same time or with a time delay. The modular layout enables subsequent repairs or extensions in the field.

The pulse energy and average power normally limit the pulse frequency of a laser. The burst function enables the frequency and the average power to be significantly increased for a short period at the same pulse energy level. You can therefore minimize the welding time per processing cycle and increase your productivity.

Electronic plug contacts are often reshaped and then fixed in place with the laser. The reliability of the TruPulse lasers ensures highly productive 3-shift operation with reject rates in the ppm range.

With the aid of the burst mode functionality, the processing time for welding the plug is reduced by 70%. This is implemented by means of fast beam positioning via PFO scanner optics, paired with the capability of the TruPulse laser to emit multi-kW pulses with an increased frequency for short bursts.

If external controls are present, TruControl will communicate with them via all standard interfaces. Inputs are made via the touchscreen of the operating panel or via a panel PC. You can integrate your laser into the network via Ethernet and connect multiple PCs. TO PRODUCT With TRUMPF you have the ability to adapt your solid-state laser to your installation and operating situation with flexibility. This applies, for example, to all beam guidance components and the control. You also have several options for the cooling water supply. Interfaces for different optics are provided right from the start. To save costs, your beam source can supply several work stations at the same time. The TRUMPF Remote Service helps you to ensure your system remains available, anywhere and at any time.

There are many options available to you for adapting the laser to your individual situation with flexibility. In addition to the laser power and pulse energy, you can also choose the number of fiber outlets up to a total of six. The laser power is regulated for each outlet. The plug & play optical laser cables can be easily connected to different work stations. This allows multiple work stations to operate simultaneously with split laser power or one after the other at full laser power. The modular layout enables field repairs to be carried out on site, as well as making the system suitable for retrofitting.

With the laser network, you can network one or more lasers with up to six work stations in each case. In the process, your laser either splits its power to multiple stations, or it supplies them in turns with full power. This will even enable you to combine different applications, such as welding and cutting. The overall availability of your manufacturing systems will increase as a result due to simple redundancy concepts.

The TruPulse can be equipped with virtually all standard fieldbus interfaces for control and actuation. The following are also available: real-time interface, parallel digital I/O, interface for process sensor systems, OPC UA software interface, and analog input boards.

Intelligent optics can be synchronized with your laser via a dedicated interface. For example, the CFO focusing optics or PFO scanner optics can be used optimally for your purposes. You can program the processing optics easily via the laser control system. You do not need additional PCs or control systems.

In the event of an error, TRUMPF service experts will remotely access your laser via a secure remote connection. In many cases the error can be remedied this way, or the configuration of the laser can be modified in a way that enables you to continue manufacturing until the spare part arrives, thus minimizing idle time in production.

For cooling of the laser you can select between water/water or water/air compressor cooling, which means that the TruPulse laser can also be used at high ambient temperatures. If you already have your own cooling circuit in place, you can use it in conjunction with a plate heat exchanger.

Thislaser offset mapping solution is for fieldcrews that need to map hard-to-occupy assets without occupying every singlepoint. This solution is common and ideal when assets are located on busyhighways, streets, alleyways, under building eves, swamplands/vegetation,downtown areas, and in other hard-to-reach, unsafe, or GNSS-impairedenvironments.

LaserGIS is our term for applying offsets to features by recording both a GNSS positionand associated distance and direction to the object of interest using a TruPulse laser rangefinder. This workflowoption allows the user to stay at one location and record the offsets andattributes of all features within sight before moving to the next location.
