(Heerbrugg, 17 March 2011) - Leica Geosystems announces the release of its new phase-shift scanner, the Leica HDS7000, which gives users ultra-fast acquisition speed for greater productivity when taking measurements. The HDS7000 features a robust design and exceptional environmental specifications, and delivers accurate data:
- Long range at high speed: vertical surfaces such as façades can be measured at more than 100m at a speed of one million points per second.
- Color touchscreen and new user-friendly graphical interface.
- Reduced noise at longer ranges.
- Class 1 laser for sites that require this classification.
Increased range for broader use
Phase-shift scanners are known for their ultra-fast acquisition speed and for their high-resolution scans. They are used for specialized short-range applications such as tunnels, indoor construction and industrial plans. Until now, measurement distances were around 60 - 70m.
With an acquisition speed of more than 1 million points per second, the new Leica HDS7000 phase-shift scanner extends the practical range over which phase-shift scanners can measure, particularly on vertical surfaces, to more than 100m, such as the tallest building façades. This extended range is a real added value. Depending on the site layout, a longer range can reduce the number of scan positions required for some projects and thus improve productivity in the field.
Additional improvements
The Leica HDS7000 is more compact, smaller and lighter than its predecessors. It offers two options for data storage and transfer: onboard memory and two USB drives. A new built-in inclination sensor makes it possible to use surveying techniques in addition to traditional registration methods based on targets and georeferencing methods.
The new Leica HDS7000 becomes a benchmark in the Leica Geosystems range of laser scanners and software. The product family includes the Leica ScanStation C10: the most versatile scanner on the market, the new Leica 8800: a very long-range laser scanner dedicated to mines and quarries, the Leica HDS6200: the fast phase-shift scanner used for short-range applications, and the best-known and most complete point cloud processing software suite for rendering.
