Leica ScanStation 2

A New Level of Versatility and Speed in Laser Scanners



With a 10-times boost in maximum instantaneous scan speed and the full freedom and accuracy of a total station, Leica ScanStation 2 lifts laser scanning to the next level. This speed and productivity boost builds on the already industry-leading versatility of the ScanStation™ class of laser scanner to make High-Definition Surveying™ (HDS™) profitable for even more as-built and topographic survey projects.
For many as-built and topographic surveys, laser scanners have already proven to significantly reduce field labor compared to traditional methods. ScanStation 2’s jump-step increase in pulsed scan speed further slashes these costs – field labor is now as little as one-fifth of that of traditional methods for many projects.
Infrastructure
ScanStation 2 extends the benefits of safe, cost-effective road surveys from urban and multi-lane roads & intersections to 2-lane roads & intersections.

Sites
Using ScanStation 2 for topographic surveys of small sites and sites up to hundreds of acres cuts initial survey costs and reduces site re-visits.

Buildings
Small buildings and tall buildings can be cost-effectively surveyed, both inside and out. Digital photos can be overlaid for added realism.

A New Level of As-built & Topographic Surveying ... And More

Full Field-of-view
One of its four (4) fundamental total station features, the full dome field-of-view lets users capture overhead, vertical, horizontal, and sub-level geometry with equal ease.

Survey-grade Dual-axis (Tilt) Compensation
Like a total station, users can setup ScanStation 2 over control, traverse, resection, and even stakeout and point with it.

Survey-grade Accuracy
As part of the ScanStation instrument category, ScanStation 2 delivers survey-grade accuracy for each point. Ultra-fine scanning with a small beam at long range also enables optimal project control & registration.

Excellent Range
ScanStation 2's detection range (300 m @ 90 % reflectivity), high accuracy, small beam, and ultrafine scanning combine for a "useful range" that addresses many typical sites.

HDS6000

The new Leica HDS6000 will be a key part of the Leica Geosystems’ family of laser scanners that includes the Leica ScanStation and the Leica HDS3000 laser scanners, the industry’s most versatile laser scanners. Both are longer range, high-accuracy, full field-of-view time-of-flight scanners; Leica ScanStation has the added feature of survey-grade, dual-axis (tilt) compensation for easy and productive resection, traverse and backsighting workflows. With the addition of the new Leica HDS6000 scanner, this product family continues to offer users the broadest and most productive set of options for High-Definition Surveying.

Leveraging the phase-based engine’s inherent scan speed (up to 500,000 pts/sec) and full field-of-view (360º x 310º) design, two key advances in the Leica HDS6000 increase field productivity by reducing the number of separate “scan targets” needed during a High-Definition Survey. These two advances - increased useful range and the addition of a dual axis (tilt) compensator - also increase the system’s versatility, enabling phase-based scanning to be applied on more types of as-built survey projects.

The new scanner also represents a breakthrough in portability. Instead of having to carry a separate scan head, laptop PC (for scanner control & data storage), and external DC power supply, users can carry all of these capabilities in a single, integrated scanner. An imbedded control panel, hard disk data storage, and integrated, exchangeable battery allow up to 1½ hours of scanning without having to change the battery. An external battery, AC power supply, and optional PDA controller or laptop control are valuable options that give users more flexibility for a wide range of as-built surveys.



HDS4500

The Leica HDS4500 is an ultra-high speed, phase-based, shorter range scanner. Phase-based scanners utilize a continuous laser beam rather than a pulsing laser beam inherent to time-of-flight ranging systems.
Continuous lasers allow ultra-high speed scanning from 100,000 points/sec to 500,000 points/sec. The speed advantage and the full 360 x 310 field of view makes the HDS4500 ideal for projects with very short time windows for field data collection and for other field-efficient needs. Ultra high-speed, shorter range scanners are increasingly proving beneficial for capturing interiors of process plants and tunnels and have shown extensive use in automotive plants and architectural applications.


HDS3000

The Leica HDS3000, the first "surveyor-friendly" 3D laser scanner, is the flagship - of Leica's HDS product family, making high-definition field data capture more efficient and easier for a wider range of surveying and engineering projects. There are many characteristics of the HDS3000 that set it apart from - other instruments in its class, including:

- Maximum 360° x 270° field-of-view
- Unique dual-window design
- Fully selectable field-of-view and scan density
- Bore-sighted digital camera for automatically calibrated photo overlays
- <6 mm spot size @ 50 m
- 6 mm positional accuracy @ 50 m
- Height-of-instrument (H.I.) measurement
- Setup over survey point
- Flexible "hot-swap" power supply system
- QuickScan™ button

With the Leica HDS3000, high-definition surveying has never been easier and friendlier for surveyors and measurement professionals.
