The RBM-VX™ is a cost-effective and scalable solution deployed in underground mines. Integrated with a rock bolt, RBM-VX™ measures the bolt’s elongation like an extensometer, and thus monitors phenomena such as pre-tensioning and squeezing ground as well as blasting and seismic events.
Benefits:
- Fully integrated into ThingWave’s Mining 4.0 digital platform
- Real-time rock mass displacement data
- Compatible with various bolt types, including dynamic bolts
- Immediate alarms
- Easy installation
