Minicam Laser Profiler
Key Features
For use in pipe sizes 100mm to 500mm
- Fully integrates to WinCan V8 LaserScan module.
- Verification of structural integrity of network, ovality and deep corrosion.
- Fast cross-sectional area calculations for determining flow reduction.
- Deformation measured as an out-of-circle percentage.
- Erosion loss of pipe wall can easily be ascertained.
- Quantifies defects, holes, or other abnormalities.
Why do you need a pipe profiler?
If you are a municipality, consulting engineer or contractor the Profiler is a
necessary tool for the analysis of the true pipe condition prior to and after
rehabilitation. When used as a video survey tool it can provide accuracy up to
1mm when measuring pipe size, deformation, erosion, encrustation, debris,
grease, flows, lateral protrusion, surface damage, holes.
The Minicam Laser Profiler has been developed to provide pipeline engineers
and contractors with very accurate empirical data on the ovality, capacity,
and other conditions in new and existing pipelines. The Profiler simply
attaches to your existing camera system and the resulting CCTV images are
analysed using the innovative WinCan V8 LaserScan software module.
Laser profiling immediately highlights deviations to a pipe’s circular cross
section. The laser produces a ring which is cast onto the inner surface wall
of the pipe which is then recorded in high resolution. WinCan V8 software can
then be used to analyse and create reports.
The Minicam Laser Profiler is ideal for:
Ovality reporting, especially for plastic pipes
- Measuring the thickness of relining
- Measuring the thickness spray lining
- Deformation reporting
- Cross section loss reporting

Proper User
The Laser Module and the Bracket are for use in a pipe to measure the
deformations of the pipe with a camera system.
Technical Description
The Laser Module is powered by a Lithium 3V (CR1/3N battery.
The Bracket is designed for one specific camera.
Using the Laser Module
Assembling
360° Laser Ring Pipe Measurement
RC90 / RCX90
To switch on the laser module screw the rear part clockwise into the laser
module until the laser lights. To switch off the laser module screw the rear
part anti-clockwise until the laser goes out. To replace the battery, fully
unscrew the rear part (anti-clockwise), replace with a new cell, lightly
grease the sealing O ring seal and then screw back on (clockwise).
