Improve Field Efficiency

Improve Field Efficiency

Collect the highest quality of data by virtue of the unique technological innovations from Topcon. Enable effective field workflows with selectable measurement modes. Three GLS-2000 models are available based on the range requirements of the target application. You can choose the optimal scanning speed / range based on site conditions on a scan-by-scan basis. Each measurement mode setting allows you to achieve specified accuracies on just a single pass, reducing overall time per station setup.

Increase Confidence in your Results

Increase Confidence in your Results

Capture the most accurate data possible under any conditions with the GLS-2000 innovative technology. Detect timing more accurately with the Precise Scan Technology II that incorporates waveform signal processing, enhancing the GLS-2000’s time-of-flight measurements. A multiple-lens array optimizes the collimation of the laser beam based on the test range measurement. Deliver better results with these industry-leading technologies.

Deliver More Complete Information

Deliver More Complete Information

Ensures that no detail goes uncaptured with our customizable scan resolution defaults working in combination with dual 5mp digital cameras for collecting color imagery. Capture Reality, share, and access 3d data from field to office effortlessly. After processing in ScanMaster software, export your file in a broad selection of formats, including Topcon’s widely accepted cl3, which supports today’s most requested design, analysis, and modeling applications. 

Building Facility Scanning

Preliminary inspection is an indispensable component of building renovation or relocation of factory equipment. The GLS-2000 series quickly measure and collect precise 3D point clouds without interrupting your ongoing operations. Utilize high-density 3D point clouds for generating as-built drawings and for simulation of piping or equipment installation. Safely operate the GLS-2000 series of scanners even in areas where laser emission power is restricted; simply by choosing the “Low Power” (Class 1M) measurement mode.

Construction Layout

LN-100, an easy-to-use tool dedicated to BIM layout.

A whole new easy-to-use tool that combines the time-proven Topcon laser and robotic total station technologies delivering the accuracy and versatility most BIM projects demand. Just press the power button and the LN-100 self-levels. Take the pole and a touch-screen controller on your jobsite and you are ready to start.
