Leica Geosystems Announces the Leica HDS6100, an Ultra High-Speed, Phase Scanner

By DE Editors

Leica Geosystems’ Leica HDS6100 is an improved, ultra-high speed laser scanner for many as-built survey applications. The Leica HDS6100 features several enhancements over its predecessor, the Leica HDS6000 scanner.

Compared to its predecessor, the new Leica HDS6100 scanner features:

• 37% increase in the operating temperature range (now -10ºC to +45ºC)
• 67% increase in battery life of the internal, removable battery (now 2.5 hours)
• New, integrated wireless LAN (WLAN) scanner control option
• Reduced range noise at longer ranges (e.g. 25m and 50m)

Leveraging the phase-based engine's inherent ultra-high scan speed (up to 508,000 pts/sec) and full field-of-view (360º x 310º) design, advances in the Leica HDS6100 let users take advantage of the benefits of ultra-high speed High-Definition Surveying (HDS) in more conditions and locations with less hassle.

The new Leica HDS6100's longer battery life and wireless LAN control make ultra-high speed scanning more productive and more hassle-free, while less range noise in the scan data provides more accurate survey results and increased application versatility.

Owners of Leica HDS6000 scanners can upgrade their scanners to Leica HDS6100 with a factory service.
