Extra Long Range & High Accuracy 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanner

LMS-Z620

The terrestrial laser scanner system RIEGL LMS-Z620 consists of a high performance long-range 3D scanner, the accompanying operating and processing software RiSCAN PRO, and a calibrated and accurately orientated and mounted high-resolution digital camera.
The system provides data which lends itself to automatic or semiautomatic processing of scan- and image data to generate products such as textured triangulated surfaces and high resolution panorama images as a basis for e.g., geotechnical analysis and mining assessment. The RIEGL LMS-Z620 is a rugged and fully portable sensor especially designed for the rapid acquisition of high-quality three dimensional images even under highly demanding environmental conditions, providing a unique and unrivalled combination of a wide field-of-view, high maximum range, and fast data acquisition. A standard Windows notebook and the bundled software package RiSCAN PRO enable the user to instantly acquire high-quality 3D data in the field and provide a variety of registration, post processing and export functions.

Principle of Scanner Operation & Dimensional Drawings
The range finder electronics of the 3D laser scanner RIEGL LMS-Z620 are optimized in order to meet the requirements of high speed scanning (high laser repetition rate, fast signal processing, and high speed data interface). The vertical deflection ("line scan") of the laser beam is realized by a polygon with a number of reflective surfaces. For high scanning rates and/or a vertical scan angle of up to 80, the polygonal mirror continuously rotates at an adjustable speed. For slow scanning rates and/or small scanning angles, it linearly oscillates up and down. The horizontal scan ("frame scan") is realized by rotating the complete optical head up to 360. Scandata: RANGE, ANGLE, SIGNAL AMPLITUDE, and optional TIMESTAMP are transmitted to a laptop via TCP/IP Ethernet Interface. Camera data is fed into the same laptop via USB/firewire interface. The RiSCAN PRO software allows the operator to perform a large number of tasks including sensor configuration, data acquisition, data visualization, data manipulation, and data archiving. RiSCAN PRO runs on the platforms Windows XP Professional, Windows VISTA Professional, and Windows 7 Professional.

1) First, Last, or Alternating Target Mode selectable. 2) Typical values under average conditions. Maximum range is specified for flat targets with size in excess of the laser beam diameter and near perpendicular incidence of the laser beam and atmospheric visibility in excess of 23 km. In bright sunlight the operational range is considerably shorter than under an overcast sky.
