Data capture

Rapid and accurate site documentation

Capture complete 3D information to describe the existing site and conditions both visually and geometrically with our laser scanning solutions. Our GLS-2000 series laser scanners feature an unmatched combination of speed, accuracy, and detail.

Meet the demands of modern construction processes even in the most challenging job sites.

ScanMaster

Scanner & mass data control

GLS-2000

Compact, high-speed series of laser scanners

Adopt Laser Scanning

Benefit from a simple and effective technology. Intuitive touch screen operation, and precise Scan Technology II (High quality scan data).

Improve Field Efficiency

Collect the highest quality of data with our unique technological innovations.

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

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

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 our widely accepted cl3, which supports today’s most requested design, analysis, and modeling applications.

Building Facility Scanning

Utilize high-density 3D point clouds for generating as-built drawings and for simulation of piping or equipment installation.

Safely operate the GLS-2000 even in areas where laser emission power is restricted; simply by choosing the Low Power (Class 1M) measurement mode.
