“An expanded field-of-view, high speed and compact size make it the most versatile, best-in-class laser scanner suitable for any job site,” said Ian Stilgoe, geomatics unit business manager for Topcon Europe Positioning. 

With its 350m (1,150ft) eye-safe long-range scanning technology, the GLS-2000 features survey-grade accuracy that reduces the amount of scan setups required on site. The integrated twin cameras help ensure that the images recorded provide the best possible definition photography for all levels of scan detail.

Its dual-axis compensators provide tighter registration, overall increased accuracy, and increased field flexibility to help meet the needs of unique site logistics and project situations.

“The bottom line,” Stilgoe said, “is that the GLS-2000 is easy: Easy to set up, easy to operate, and it provides an easy pathway to post-processing of data collected. Put these factors together with Topcon’s unique scan technology and you are increasing productivity and your company’s bottom line on every project.”
