The VS+ is just one of many laser systems that have been designed by Carlson. Other products such as the C-

ALS, Quarryman and Boretrak have all been proved over many years of demanding use around the world. These

products complement the VS+ and provide a wide range of advanced measurement solutions within the mining,

quarrying and geotechnical industries.
