Topcon’s Laser Scanner GLS-1000

  • Rating12345

Topcon Europe Positioning is proud to present its new laser scanner to the surveying and civil engineering community. The Topcon GLS-1000 handles like a total station but delivers a total scanning solution. At an affordable price it takes the pain out of investing in a laser scanner, offers reliable measurements and opens a whole new area of possibilities. The Topcon GLS-1000 simply gives its users new opportunities to increase their productivity and market possibilities.

The GLS-1000 scanner is easy to use and functions and operates stand-alone without the headaches of laptops, cables and heavy batteries. It was developed internally by Topcon and specifically designed for the site. Thus it can also work in harsh or bright jobsites because no PC is required, thanks to the internal memory and batteries. The GLS-1000 scanner has been made surveyor friendly: it’s like handling a total station and comes in a single box, guaranteeing easy transportation. You can quickly and easily collect point cloud data in many environments. From architects to civil engineers, to CAD professionals or contractors. All across the field, jobsites will benefit from using Topcon’s GLS -1000.

Easy to use and portable
You can specify the scan area with jog shuttles control, work with an on board control panel to store data in the easy accessible SD card. Just like you would on any ordinary Total Station. The handy SD card also allows you to transfer and check the data on a PC while in the field if required. The inbuilt Wi-Fi allows PC connection if more detailed control or checking is required while scanning. The GLS-1000 was designed for use on site. In contrary to existing laser scanners which require external batteries and PC or a controller to control the scanner from outside, the GLS-1000 is equipped with exchangeable internal batteries and a control panel. It can be operated by itself and moved anywhere without any bother.
