Topcon GLS-1500

Topcon GLS-1500 is a 3D laser scanner manufactured by the company Topcon Europe B. V. and works using the time-of-flight measurement method. The scanner measures in a maximum field of view of 360° (horizontal) x 70° (vertical) and captures objects in a range of up to 500m (19,685.04 in). It achieves a maximum measuring speed of 30,000 points/second. The stand-alone solution is equipped with a 2 megapixel digital camera in order to create colored photos during the scanning operation. The GLS-1500 can be controlled not only by means of the control panel on the device but also by means of a PC or tablet PC via WLAN. The captured 3D data is saved on a SD card. The scanner is equipped with internal lithium ion batteries which can be replaced during operation. If maximum four batteries are used at the same time, the Topcon GLS-15000 achieves a duration of up to four hours.
