Rock face profiling software designed to create the perfect blast!
LTI's Face Profiler software calculates bench heights, minimum and optimum burdens, drill hole angles and offsets, hole depths and more! Take the guesswork out of blast design and start significantly reducing the risk of any dangerous fly rock incidents caused by insufficient burden.
LTI Face Profiler
This field software runs on a touch-screen activated, rugged data collector that provides plenty of safe storage for your profile data. You can even print the profile data right in the field with an optional Bluetooth® enabled printer.
The process begins with 3 easy steps: shoot the floor, toe and crest – then begin profiling the rock face.
Combining Face Profiler with LTI's Impulse laser rangefinder, you will be able to capture more measurements on a wide variety of surfaces unlike any other laser profiling package on the market.

Visual Icons
LTI's Face Profiler displays visual icons during the step-by-step procedure when performing a profile setup. It demonstrates shooting the floor, toe, crest and when profiling in the abnormalities of the face.
This is to ensure you are on track in following the steps correctly, which makes the process quick and easy.
Actual Toe
This function allows the operator to interactively remove slough at the bottom of the face. A new toe location is created with all calculations based on the actual toe, giving you a more accurate representation of the profile.
Toe can be defined as the intersection point created by the floor and the free face.
Identify Seams
While shooting the profile you can mark the top and bottom of a seam that you encounter while profiling a rock face. A seam can be defined as a layer of loose or unconsolidated material within the face.
This function is to aid you in placing inert material in the drill hole corresponding to depths of seams or other loose material.
Minimum and Optimum Burdens
Face Profiler instantly calculates the distance between the borehole and the nearest free face or the distance between boreholes measured perpendicular to the spacing. This determines the total amount of material to be blasted by a given hole.
It also computes drill hole angles and hole depths (including sub-drill) all from the profile data you collected.
Reports
Report format combines a plot diagram and depth/burden tables that can be viewed on one page. The Face Profiler software can also produce shot table information that can be viewed within the report.
All this reporting information can easily be transferred to a spreadsheet for post processing and data management.
