TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING
RIEGL VZ-1200i
NEW
RIEGL presents a new, powerful member of its well-proven product line of professional terrestrial laser scanners, the VZ-1200i. The system was developed specifically for users who need a longer range without sacrificing the speed, precision, and reliability of the RIEGL VZ-i series.
Fast Scans. Long Range.
Maximum Efficiency.
The extremely fast and 6 kg lightweight laser scanner expands the portfolio with greater range and mobility, offering maximum versatility, productivity, and performance for demanding applications. It complements existing solutions rather than replacing them, giving professionals additional flexibility in their daily work.
The RIEGL VZ-1200i is a Class 1 eye-safe laser scanner that combines exceptional range with very high scanning speed. A high-resolution panoramic scan is performed in just 25 seconds in the 2.2 MHz measurement program, reaching distances of up to 450 m. In the 300 kHz measurement program, ranges of up to 1800 m are possible.
The ability to perform kinematic data capture further increases its versatility: Like the other VZ-i Series Laser Scanners, you can use the VZ-1200i either in static mode – with tripod offset approximately every 60 seconds (6 mm resolution at 10 m, including simultaneous photo capture)–or in kinematic mode on mobile platforms with RTK-GNSS accuracy.
That’s true versatility – for a broad range of applications, especially when you need to combine static and kinematic data acquisition, long range coverage, and highly detailed data in one mission.
Main Features
- achieve even longer measurement ranges at high scanning speed
- broad range capability (0.5 m up to 1800 m)
- less than 30 seconds for a “Panorama_6mm”-scan with more than 30 mio 3D-measurements and up to 450 m measuring range
- 60 scan positions per hour (with image acquisition)
- 3D position accuracy up to 3 mm @ 50 m
- pulse repetition rate up to 2.2 MHz
- scan speed up to 420 lines/sec
- eye safe operation at Laser Class 1
- real-time onboard automatic registration
- internal cameras and GNSS receiver
- optional external system camera or panorama camera
- weight 6 kg / 13 lbs
- ideal for (optional) kinematic operation
Examples – using the scanner in static as well as in kinematic mode
- Mapping of Topography and Infrastructure
(bridges, roads, railway lines, large construction sites, etc.) - Recording Topography and Infrastructure of Coastlines and in Ports
(kinematic surveying from a boat) - Kinematic Mapping of Corridors
- Data Collection in Alpine Regions
(low weight enables convenrient transport; high measuring speed and long
measuring ranges for fast data acquisition) - Data Collection at Landfills and Storage Sites for Bulk Materials
(static and kinematic data acquisition)
