Focus M 70 Lidar Announced by FARO
This article was originally published in Geomatics World.
FARO has announced their latest scanner to hit the competitive entry-level market, the Focus M70.
Representatives say the scanner, which is set to cost less than $25,000, will provide an “ideal entry point for all professional users considering laser scanning in the construction BIM/CIM and public safety forensics markets.”
The Focus M 70 weighs 4.2kg, and captures 500,000 points per second at an accuracy of +/- 3mm. It scans at a range of 70 metres (per the title), meaning it’s well suited for smaller jobs. FARO lists a few ideal applications, including “small construction sites, small-scale facades, complex structures, production and supply facilities and manageable accident and crime scenes.”
The scanner includes an IP rating of 54 for protection against dust and water as well as built-in HDR imaging, and control by remote, tablet, or touch screen. With a small concession to accuracy, the system’s specs are mostly in line with the Focus family, which offers scanners designed for a growing number of application requirements.
The M 70 is available for immediate shipment.
