Fast and accurate surveying

According to Leica Geosystems, its new HDS6100 unit is an improved, ultra-high speed laser scanner for survey applications. The Leica HDS6100 features several upgrades over the earlier HDS6000 scanner being replaced. These include a 37% increase in the temperature range (now -10ºC to +45ºC), a battery life of 2.5 hours, an integrated wireless LAN (WLAN) scanner control option and reduced noise at ranges of 25-50m.

Accurate, fast site-scanning can be achieved with the new HDS6100 unit from Leica Geosystems
According to 265 Leica Geosystems, its new HDS6100 unit is an improved, ultra-high speed laser scanner for survey applications.

The Leica HDS6100 features several upgrades over the earlier HDS6000 scanner being replaced. These include a 37% increase in the temperature range (now -10ºC to +45ºC), a battery life of 2.5 hours, an integrated wireless LAN (WLAN) scanner control option and reduced noise at ranges of 25-50m.

The high scan speed and 360º x 310º design allows fast and high deficition surveying in a wider range of applications and locations. The new scanners from Leica Geosystems offer safety, accuracy and productivity advantages for as-built or topographic surveys and can be used in an array of applications.

An important features is that owners of the earlier Leica HDS6000 scanners can upgrade their units to HDS6100 specification with a factory service or from authorised dealers.

    In the coming age of the autonomous vehicle, fast and accurate LiDAR surveying will be increasingly important, explains Valdis Vanags. The game-changing introduction of autonomous vehicles relies not only on intelligent traffic systems but well maintained roads to help computer-guided systems navigate using road markings. Laser scanning technology, too, is a game changer when it comes to planning and executing many civil engineering projects, including transport network upgrades and smart city initiatives.

    Laser scanners and improved data collection and analysis software are making light of asset management surveying. David Arminas reports The age of the laser scanner is upon us, taking over from traditional manual methods of surveying, data collection and processing. These new technical developments are making it much easier to process and use the data captured and are providing highways engineers with powerful tools to record, map and visualise their assets. This is good news for highways authorities
