The Meyton company is the unique company world-wide that locates the positions of the projectiles with the help of light. For this a frame was developed that has curtain of light channels with a diameter of ca. 2mm in horizontal and vertical direction ( two axes). The light channels of each axis are distributed over four lines arranged one behind the other in a way that they don’t influence each other. If you arranged the light channels of the four lines in one line, there would be an uninterrupted light curtain. When a projectile flies now through the light curtains in the measuring frame, there will be shadows on the measuring surface in the horizontal and the vertical. By evaluating these shadows with most modern electronics the position and the diameter of the projectile is located. In order to prevent disturbances caused by flying objects (e.g. insects) only very brief shadows are measured.

The light barriers of the measuring frame are checked and calibrated after every turning on. Through this there is a very high safety in operation and a constant accuracy over a long time. The measuring method is considered to be one of the most precise and reliable.

The measuring frame

The Meyton measuring frame has no elements at all that are used up by the measure proceedings. Therefore, the running costs are very low and they are almost equivalent to the energy costs. The average period between disturbances (MTBF) amounts to 56.000 hours to our estimations. We are not able to declare a service life period that can be expected, because all systems that we have delivered, are still working. The Meyton Company has produced electronic targets with the measuring method of light for over 10 years.

Other aspects

The special qualities of a Meyton system are the following: the accuracy of the measurement, the fact of being robust and no following costs – maintenance / material -. Meyton was able to prove an accuracy of ca 0,1mm with its measuring method. As far as we know, Meyton is the only company that guarantees this accuracy. Many manufacturers of electronic targets only talk about a measuring dissolution that states nothing about the accuracy of the measurement, but only gives the accuracy of the internal calculations.
