Leica ScanStation P50 Laser Scanner Offers Long Range Scanning

Leica Geosystems has announced the Leica ScanStation P50, the fastest and safest long-range 3D laser scanner, as the newest member of the 3D terrestrial laser scanner P-Series.

The P50 combines all the well-known features of the P40 plus a longer-range scanning capability of more than 1 kilometre. Adding this feature enables professionals to capture 3D scans at great distances with angular accuracy paired with low range noise and survey-grade dual-axis compensation.

Professionals can now scan the inaccessible

The ScanStation P50 enables companies to scan what was previously unreachable such as big mine pits, long bridges, dams and skyscrapers. This also means users to scan any tall and/or wide infrastructure or dangerous sites from a remote and safe position. The P50 provides the highest quality 3D data and High-Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging at a scan rate of up to1 mio points per second and ranges of more than 1 kilometre.

“Our customers have requested increased range so that they can capture tall structures and/or far away features without sacrificing the safety of their field crews. During a recent deployment of the Leica P50 in an urban setting, the extended range allowed us to capture more of a city skyline in less setups,” said Mike Harvey, Leica Geosystems NAFTA HDS product & applications manager.
