Simac Water Tank

Full beam characterization — no tank, no recommissioning

A virtual water tank that replaces extensive physical measurements, predicting beam characteristics across field sizes, depths and machine conditions from a small set of scans. No large tank to transport, level or store, and far fewer setup errors. Powered by the Simac Beam Model™.
