Leica’s ScanStation slashes field time in half

— filed under:

Leica Geosystems’ new High-Definition Surveying™ (HDS™) ScanStation C10 scanner, is designed to increase surveying productivity and accuracy, in both routine surveys and large, complex projects.

Leica’s ScanStation slashes field time in half

Its Smart X-Mirror, which can either oscillate or rotate, eliminates the need for double window scans. Capable of scanning up to 50,000 data points a second, it can scan sites and structures up to 10 times faster than the Leica ScanStation 2, reducing field time by at least half.
It also enables surveyors to produce a more accurate and detailed survey, by capturing overhead, vertical, horizontal, and sub-level geometry over a full field of view (360 X 270 degrees), with a pointing accuracy of as little as 1mm. By eliminating the need for reflectors, HDS increases worker safety when scanning structures such as towers, bridges, and tunnels that have dangerous or difficult-to-reach areas.
ScanStation C10 is a fully integrated, cordless system, with onboard batteries for extended field usage. It has an easy-to-learn, surveyor-friendly onboard interface, with high-resolution, color touch-screen and integrated, high-resolution zoom camera/video. A 5megapixel CMOS digital image sensor captures both single frames and continuous video.
A dual-axis compensator, laser plummet, and rotating horizontal turret allow quick setup over a known point. It can interface with standard survey accessories such as TPS batteries, total station prisms, and even the Leica GPS SmartAntenna. Onboard software makes users even more efficient, and the internal hard disk eliminates the need to attach a laptop.
“The Leica ScanStation C10 is the type of laser scanner that can drastically improve the business models of both new and existing customers,” says US based Leica Geosystems scanning product marketing manager Michael Harvey. “By investing in HDS with this system, you can save time and labor, eliminate the need to add staff, and complete jobs better and faster.”
