Use the GLS-1500 anywhere without worrying about damaging eyes of a passerby. the GLS-1500 uses an invisible, Class 1, eye-safe laser. Scan near airports, busy traffic, and populated areas with no effect to the people or the environment.
GLS-1500 automatically compensates the instrument tilt within ±6’ using a built-in dual-axis tilt sensor. This capability increases accuracy of station setting using instrument point and backsight data.
In addition to orientation using geo-referenced tie-point targets, GLS-1500 can determine the coordinate system using instrument point and backsight data, thanks to the high accuracies in distance, angles and tilt compensation. This capability increases work efficiency by minimizing number of targets needed for orientation.
Tilts the GLS-1500 unit to scan upper and lower portions of tunnels, buildings and other large structures.
Maximum ±90° tilting range with 15° steps.
Rich Functions with Intuitive User-interface!
Multiple Viewer Window for Easy Data Alignment
Scan data captured from multiple positions can be easily integrated into one 3D data. Two or more point clouds are shown on the computer screen at the same time, facilitating data docking and aligning procedures.
Supports most major data formats.
Target scan is initiated either by manual aiming or by clicking an image on a PC screen. The ScanMaster automatically identifies the target shape and calculates the target center coordinates.
ScanMaster controls the GLS-1500 scanner unit via wireless LAN.
Scan area can be easily specified on video or picture images on a computer screen. The built-in digital camera takes a picture of scan area on which scanned points are shown in real-time, allowing you to check the status.
Pre-programming capability allows for automatic multiple scans at one instrument position.
- Road Surface Profile
- Measures Ruts and Bumps for Maintenance Purposes
GLS-1500 captures 3D road surface shapes with exceptional ease and speed.
From roadside or other convenient locations, GLS-1500 quickly scans the road surface without an assistant on the road.
Highly accurate 3D road surface model facilitates determination of repair locations as well as volume calculation of pavement materials.
GLS-1500 dramatically increases work efficiency and safety, and saves material costs. Traffic congestion by blocking a lane is also eliminated.
- Volume Measurement
- Increases Safety, Efficiency and Accuracy
Volume measurement is indispensable for land preparation, open-pit and underground mining, waste landfills and sediment control facilities.
GLS-1500 allows the operators to take measurements with an incomparable safety by eliminating the need for working in the midst of heavy machines.
High density point clouds allow for accurate calculations of volume and geometry that no other technology can offer.
- Large Structure
- Monitoring of Critical Infrastructures such as Bridges, Towers, and Dams
Scan data of large structures allow for early detection of deteriorated areas to be maintained or reinforced. 3D data can be utilized for measurements of size and geometry, as well as volume calculations of necessary materials.
Periodic monitoring is one of the most effective methods to prevent collapse of structures.
- Disaster and Accident
- Detailed Survey with the Fastest Speed
3D terrain models can be easily created with scan data. GLS-1500 acquires accurate and detailed terrain data with exceptional speed and safety.
GLS-1500 quickly scans disaster areas or accident scenes. 3D models allows for computer simulations of disasters and accidents.
- Flood Control
- Rivers, Dams, and Embankments
High density 3D point clouds can be utilized for creating contour maps and profile drawings, and for volume calculations. Simulation of water flow paths greatly facilitates flood control and disaster prevention planning.
- Tunnel
- Profile Measurement and Convergence Monitoring
GLS-1500 captures 3D data of tunnel wall surfaces in a short period of time. Even the most complex surface profile can be modeled without difficulty. Monitoring of wall convergence is an essential measure to prevent collapse of tunnels both under construction and in operation.
- Historical Architecture
- Creation and Preservation of As-built Data
Full color, photorealistic 3D model will be the most valuable record of historical architectures. 2D floor plans and cross-sectional drawings can be easily created from 3D point clouds.
- Archaeology
- Photorealistic 3D Models of Ruins
Cutting-edge laser scanning technology realizes preservation of valuable ruins in detailed 3D models.
GLS-1500 provides archaeologists with full color, high resolution pictures that have precise 3D coordinate values.
