Speedier 3D scanner

The ScanStation 2 is suited for high-density scanning of building facades and plant and structural as-builts. New features include a coordinate lock function that allows a user to point the scanner’s visible green beam to specific, preselected coordinates such as drill or attachment points. For surveying fine features such as bolt head geometry and architectural details, users can reduce the minimum point-to-point spacing in any scan. The previous allowable minimum scan spacing was 1.2mm. Other features include a full 360º x 270º field of view; survey-grade dual-axis tilt

compensation for traversing and resectioning, and survey-grade accuracy for each measurement.

Charles M. Coiner, vice president of sales at Leica Geomatics Survey: High-Definition Surveying, says, “Combined with the basic advantages of using this type of scanner for everyday topographic surveys, ScanStation 2 significantly expands the overall speed, versatility, and functionality of laser scanning.  It’s uniquely suited to meet the increasing demand for high density scanning technology in a wide range of industries from engineering and surveying to
public safety and forensic investigation.”
