Topcon’s GLS-1500 laser scanner speeds point cloud collection

Topcon Positioning Systems (TPS) announced a new laser scanner, the GLS-1500, that speeds up point cloud collection – 30,000 points per second – in an ‘all-in-one’ design to reduce the amount of equipment needed in the field.

“The GLS-1500 is designed to provide quick and hassle-free setups to save time and improve productivity,” said Fred Moser, Topcon laser scanner sales manager. “Portability, accuracy and dependability are key customer needs. The GLS-1500 meets those needs in an all on-board, one-person instrument, that saves time and labour costs.”

It has a built-in 2.0 megapixel digital camera so when connected to a PC and using Topcon’s ScanMaster software, a live video feed of the job site can be streamed to aid in scan setup and data acquisition. Also, the GLS-1500 has an onboard data collector with keypad and LCD display which allows it to be used as a stand-alone laser scanner.
