Velocity Measurement System

It is accurate system to measure velocity of projectile. Setup consists of Optical sensors and Chronograph and Monitoring softwares.

Multiple types of sensors are developed according to requirement which contains contact based and non-contact optical sensors. This system can record velocities with accuracy better than 1%. 

Sensor data is fed to Chronograph to calculate the velocity. Velocity from few meter per second to 1500 meter per second can be recorded with system. 

The system comes with software that also enables it to be easily stored. Data is also transferred to Computer which can be sent as email, stored in files. System also able to announce the velocity using the speakers.

          Can be operated outdoor or Indoor with Lights

    Sensor Choice 

          Choose optical or Mechanical sensor as per requirement.

    Speech Mode

          The system Will announce velocity on speakers.

Hardware

Velocity measurement system accurately measure projectile velocity, uploads data to computer and internet

Software

Announce results through speakers, save results to file and E-mail if required. It also display graph of tests.

Operation Steps

  1. Power on Device
  2. Connect the Tablet using Bluetooth or USB
  3. Fire and see velocity on Tablet/Mobile. 

This is all we need to do to measure the velocity of bullets. Quite simple, Reading is on tablet screen if you want send reading to Email or Upload online. 

If you are behind the Gun and want to know velocity, the system can speak the measured velocity if required.
