The probe provides automatic measurements of geometry and the deformation level of researched elements of a shaft. The probe is equipped with a position control system that includes spatial orientation and stability control and a system for data recording and analysis.
The device can be used in an explosive and methane atmosphere of a mine due to its explosion proof casing and an innovative solution - automatic power supply.
