Self-Cleaning Cameras for Mining, Construction and Heavy Industries

ExcelSense family of products

Cameras play a pivotal role in enabling situational awareness, monitoring material processes, and supporting autonomous functions across industrial settings. However, these systems are often exposed to severe environmental contaminants, including abrasive dust, mud, oil, and salt, which can rapidly degrade their performance and necessitate frequent maintenance. To address these challenges, Carroll Technologies offers ExcelSense’s ToughEye series of self-cleaning cameras, which are purpose-built for harsh industrial applications.

Why ExcelSense

ExcelSense’s ToughEye cameras represent a significant advancement in industrial monitoring, utilizing patented self-cleaning technology to provide maintenance-free operation in demanding conditions. Unlike traditional industrial cameras that rely on compressed air or external cleaning fluids, ToughEye cameras are engineered to clean themselves without requiring any consumables or external systems. This innovation allows for uninterrupted functionality, even in remote or hard-to-service areas where downtime can have substantial cost implications.

The technology behind ToughEye cameras draws inspiration from the natural resilience of the human eye. ExcelSense’s unique design incorporates a reconditionable optical micro-surface that actively resists contaminant adhesion. Through a proprietary internal mechanism, the lens is periodically refreshed, allowing abrasive particles to be removed without causing damage to the lens surface. This robust, maintenance-free approach ensures continuous visibility, preserving camera clarity in environments where standard systems would quickly succumb to environmental hazards.

ToughEye cameras are also designed for operational flexibility. The ToughEye-1700 model, for instance, offers multiple ways to initiate its cleaning cycle, including through scheduled intervals, network commands, or direct manual triggers via a physical switch or signal from the machinery. This adaptability enables seamless integration into a wide range of heavy equipment and enhances ease of use across various industrial applications.

By partnering with ExcelSense to distribute ToughEye cameras, Carroll Technologies is bringing this transformative technology to sectors that demand reliable and resilient monitoring solutions. In mining operations, for example, ToughEye cameras provide essential visibility of drill bits, crushers, and chutes, while in construction and material processing, they support the clear monitoring of critical equipment. These maintenance-free cameras ultimately contribute to a safer, more efficient working environment by reducing the need for frequent manual interventions.

High-Quality Portable Rescue Stretchers for Emergency Response Above Ground or In Confined Spaces

Rex Rapid Extraction stretcher for mining

Rex Rapid Extraction (REX) stretchers provide a specialized solution with durable, all-terrain stretchers that are versatile enough for various emergencies. Engineered to serve responders in diverse rescue missions, REX stretchers blend innovative design with practicality.

Advanced Mobility and Quick Deployment

The REX stretcher is designed to be a “force multiplier,” empowering a single responder to move a patient safely and swiftly. Thanks to its lightweight T6 aluminum frame, puncture-proof 20-inch wheels, and ergonomic quick-release features, REX stretchers are easily deployable in under 30 seconds. This rapid setup is invaluable in time-sensitive situations, enabling responders to move patients without delay or the need for multiple personnel.

The fold-out design is compact yet robust, making it ideal for both urban and remote emergency environments. With a folded size of just 25 by 18 inches, REX stretchers can be stored conveniently in small spaces and transported to any location. Yet, when deployed, they expand to 75 by 26 inches, ready to handle up to 400 pounds of load capacity. This adaptability proves crucial in environments where storage space is limited, such as mines, wilderness rescue stations, or emergency vehicles.

Built for Rough Terrains and Confined Spaces Alike

Engineered with challenging terrains in mind, REX stretchers feature 20-inch knobby, puncture-resistant tires that can traverse rocky, rutted, or uneven surfaces with ease. The integrated braking system, equipped with dual braking rods and an emergency auto-lock feature, enables controlled descent on steep terrain or stairwells. This capability ensures that a patient remains secure even when moving through rugged environments or down confined spaces like mines and narrow hallways.

For added versatility, the patient restraint straps double as shoulder straps, allowing responders to traverse especially difficult landscapes while ensuring patient stability. The design accommodates supine and Fowler’s positions, adapting to various patient needs and injury types.

Ergonomic Design Focused on Safety and Comfort

REX stretchers prioritize patient comfort alongside safety. The integrated adjustable headrest and restraint systems keep patients secure and positioned comfortably during transport. Additionally, the stretcher is equipped with a treatment cot option, providing an adjustable pull handle and dual strap-assist connection points for enhanced maneuverability and control.

Its design also incorporates features that ease physical strain on responders, with a total weight under 50 pounds, minimizing load stress. This light yet resilient construction reduces responder fatigue, which is especially beneficial during prolonged missions or in large-scale disaster responses.

Multi-Role Functionality for Varied Emergency Scenarios

One of the standout features of the REX stretcher series is its adaptability across multiple roles and industries, from mining to military. Beyond serving as a conventional stretcher, it can also function as a Stokes wagon, treatment cot, or equipment cart, making it suitable for a wide range of emergency operations—from active shooter incidents to HazMat responses, and from mine rescues to search and rescue missions.

The REX R1/N model is even NATO litter-ready, making it suitable for military operations and rapid casualty transfer. Its adjustable incline can be tailored to match specific injury requirements, optimizing patient handling based on individual needs.
