nCore Multi-Sensor : Hyperspectral Core Scanner

The nCore is a fully autonomous multi-sensor scanning platform built for continuous drill core scanning and handling. Built with our proprietary state-of-the art hyperspectral imagers, the system can deliver outstanding performance directly on-site or within a laboratory setting thanks to the different modular configuration options readily available. Three options of modular systems are offered: Compact, U-Shape and Container to accommodate all the mining industry needs. The nCore allows the integration of up to 7 optical sensors, providing the most comprehensive imaging tool set and delivering an extensive map of the mineralogy landscape with unmatched precision.
