Fanbeam®4

Precision Positioning and Tracking

System

Fanbeam®4 is a laser radar system

designed for repetitive, high accuracy
positioning and tracking of marine vessels,
and static and semi-static anchored
structures.

Features Description

• Class 1 Eye-Safe laser system The system is primarily used to position a vessel
• Range up to 1,000 m (Fanbeam®4.1) next to a platform, jetty or other vessel. The basic
• Utilises inexpensive intrinsically safe targets system consists of a laser-scanning unit mounted on
• Rugged design for offshore marine environment a motorised yoke that can rotate 360º at up to 50º
• State-of-the-art technology per second. The Fanbeam®4.1 laser can measure to
• AutoTilt mechanism a range of 1,000 m to within an accuracy of ±10
• Easy to install cm using a vertical 20º fan of pulsed light produced
by a multiple array of semiconductor laser diodes in
Options combination with special optics.
Pulses reected from a retro-reector mounted on a
• Range up to 2,000 m (Fanbeam®4.2) rig or a vessel are timed and multiplied by the speed
• Tracking of two targets of light to give distance. The electro-optical encoder
is read at the time the reected pulse is received to
determine the bearing.
An AutoTilt mechanism incorporated into the yoke of
the Fanbeam®4 allows the laser-scanning head to be
adjusted by ±15º giving a total beam range of -25º to
+25º.
